The unixODBC port installs an etc/odbc.ini file which wipes out
an existing config on install of a new package. (It's not even
a sample config from the distribution; it's just an empty file
created by virtue of existing in the plist it seems.)
Can it just be removed from the plist:
You can't simply remove them from the plist, as those files (odbc.ini,
odbcinst.ini) are created by work/unixODBC-2.2.12/Makefile in the
install-data-am target.
What needs to be done is for that target to be patched in Makefile.in
or Makefile.am, so that it creates these files with a -dist or
-sample extension. Then the pkg-plist can be changed as follows:
@unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/odbc.ini %D/etc/odbc.ini-dist; then rm -f
%D/etc/odbc.ini; fi
etc/odbc.ini-dist
@exec [ -f %D/etc/odbc.ini] || cp %D/etc/odbc.ini-dist %D/etc/odbc.ini
@unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/odbcinst.ini %D/etc/odbcinst.ini-dist; then
rm -f %D/etc/odbc.ini; fi
etc/odbcinst.ini-dist
@exec [ -f %D/etc/odbcinst.ini] || cp %D/etc/odbcinst.ini-dist
%D/etc/odbcinst.ini
You'll also need to add a post-install target to the ports Makefile,
so that it will create the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files.
After you have made the changes, submit a PR with the patch and it
should get committed rather quickly.
