My ASSP portfile I have now, instead of using xinstall, I just copy the directory into place. I need a little guidance no the best way to do this.

ASSP will end up in /opt/local/var/ASSP

If ASSP is not there, I just move the entire distro in. On first run of ASSP, a few files and folders are made, the user is good to go.

How do I deal with updates to ASSP? The files that were made on first run, as well as config files that have been edited over time, can not be replaced.

I believe if I do this as a entire directory, I am going to mess up, unless there is a merge or sync command I am not seeing.

Would it then be correct to simply install each file one at a time, then they get registered, and the port upgrade can just touch those files, leaving any user created files in the same area alone?
