>Description:
When updating the cvsd port, it does overwrite the cvsd
configuration file in etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf without permission.
This seems to be because the port doesn't rely on a
cvsd.conf.sample like it's the usual way to place configuration
files, but does write directly to the main configuration.
>How-To-Repeat:
root at murphy:/usr/local/etc/cvsd 0# md5 cvsd.conf
MD5 (cvsd.conf) = 85c6bd38d7e75dad92a605cf29bed870
murphy:/usr/local/etc/cvsd 0# vi cvsd.conf
root at murphy:/usr/local/etc/cvsd 0# md5 cvsd.conf
MD5 (cvsd.conf) = e98810ac3cc5521d3daf50a5a5f52858
murphy:/usr/local/etc/cvsd 0# cd
murphy:~ 0# portupgrade -f cvsd
murphy:~ 0# cd -
root at murphy:/usr/local/etc/cvsd 0# md5 cvsd.conf
MD5 (cvsd.conf) = 85c6bd38d7e75dad92a605cf29bed870
As you can see, modified cvsd.conf is getting killed and
modifications are lost.
>Fix:
Add "s|cvsd.conf|cvsd.conf.sample|g" to the REINPLACE_CMD
in post-patch target within the ports Makefile.
P.S. This bug has already been reported to the maintainer long time ago,
but it seems to be lost or ignored.
