#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.
