I think this is actually the bigger question. I think it is perfectly sensible to support conf.d/* files for ports to use and as a way to manage logs for application logs on an appliance, etc. However, this shuffling is a bit of a merge nightmare for anyone using mergemaster or etcupdate, and the biggest cost is that newsyslog will create a one-line file in /var/log for entries with 'C'. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
