/etc, and I’m wondering what the best way is to prevent overwriting user
customized files is, and to put the system config files back the way
they were when uninstalling the port. I looked in the Portfile best
practices (<a href="https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.practices.html" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.practices.html&source=gmail&ust=1484799852412000&usg=AFQjCNGZ3gU9M_bO3YON6tYPq6hCt8xZMA">https://guide.macports.org/<wbr class="">chunked/development.practices.<wbr class="">html</a>)
and found section 4.7.2, but it’s listed as a TODO. Any insight anyone
can provide would be most appreciated. I’d be happy to contribute
