I have just managed to get back to this project after dealing with other
matters. It appears that I had previously carried out the testing I am now
attempting and I had forgotten doing. Still, this was a useful exercise in
discovery. I see no benefit to be had by changing the default behaviour in
this respect.
I am torn now between simply destroying the existing database and starting
afresh from the db pov; not touching the rest of the configuration. Or pressing
on with what I have already done. I begin to lean towards the former.
Everything else now appears to be working on FreeBSD without issue. I have
comprehensive notes as to what I did and the order in which the steps were
performed. However, I choose to do everything manually rather than employ the
startup script provided. I also varied the setup provided in the FreeBSD
ported package, particularly with respect to paths which I changed to conform
to FreeBSD normal usage. The official package did not do much in that regard.
I wrote a couple of helper scripts to properly set ownerships and permissions
given the troubles I encountered with git behaviour.
I wonder how much value someone else will obtain from the notes that I have.
But if you would like them I can provide them. I cannot commit to cleaning
them up however.
Thanks for all the help and forbearance.
