#40215: cntlm should not own the cntlm.conf configuration file
--------------------------+------------------------
Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jsaucier@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0
Keywords: | Port: cntlm
--------------------------+------------------------
cntlm should not own its config file, as was mentioned in
comment:ticket:25796:11. Users are expected to modify config files. Ports
should not own files users are expected to modify because upgrading the
port would erase any changes the user might have made. Instead, it should
own a ''sample'' config file, which is installed if not present, and is
not touched otherwise. See PortfileRecipes#configfiles
Your claim in comment:ticket:25796:12 that "The Makefile of cntlm already
make sure that it don't overwrite the config file if it already exist" is
either incorrect or immaterial because the Makefile only controls what
gets installed into the destroot; it has no bearing on what MacPorts then
copies from the destroot into the final archive. Also, the archive might
have been built on our packages server, and then later installed on the
user's machine.
