>Description:
At the moment there are macros for ownership and permissions for files of class
BIN, LIB, KMOD, LIBDATA, SHARE, MAN, NLS and INFO, but not for the class CONF.
This leads to some anomalies, such as src/etc/Makefile hardcoding mode 644 for
config files in /etc, and (worse) config files are installed as DATA
(SHAREMODE?=${NOBINMODE} by ports.
This means that all config files installed by ports are read-only, unlike their
base counterparts -- not only is this inconsistent it also means that editing
config files in vi forces me to use :wq! rather than ZZ to quit.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install a port with a config file.
# ls -l `make -V PREFIX`/etc/`make -V PORTNAME`.conf*
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13467 Apr 22 12:14 /usr/local/etc/musicpd.conf
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13482 May 7 10:02 /usr/local/etc/musicpd.conf.sample
Why are the config files read-only????
>Fix:
The attached patch lays the necessary groundwork for a new macro or routine in
bsd.port.mk .
With suggestions on how to make sure the correct version of bsd.own.mk is
sourced in buildworld I'll submit patches for src/etc as well.
Patch attached with submission follows:
