Privoxy port clobbers existing config file
Upgrade of the www/privoxy port causes /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config to be lost when the upgrade process overwrites the existing version with a default version. Configuration information is lost.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install privoxy:
su
cd /usr/ports/www/privoxy
make install clean
Customize privoxy with local settings:
vi /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
Upgrade privoxy:
portupgrade -f privoxy
Note that local configuration settings have been clobbered:
cat /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config
>Fix:
When privoxy is upgraded, if /usr/local/etc/privoxy/config already exists, then install the default config file with a different name, e.g. "config.default", instead of overwriting the existing file.
