After an update to a newer version with deinstalling and then installing a newer version one looses it for example. >How-To-Repeat: Install mgetty, make some config changes, deinstall mgetty. The config is lost. >Fix: Change the install target in the mgetty Makefile to not copy them to "*.config" but to "*.config-sample" instead. Change PLIST to follow this change. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-ports->jmz Responsible-Changed-By: steve Responsible-Changed-When: Sun Jul 12 15:28:53 PDT 1998 Responsible-Changed-Why: Over to port maintainer.
