| | 69 | ==== Configuration files handling ==== |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | MacPorts has no way to track configuration files. Currently if a configuration file is part of a port it will get overwritten on every upgrade which makes it less useful. At the moment, many ports only install default configuration files and the user has to copy it to the original location. But this always requires manual action and the user is not informed of updates in this configuration file. |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | For this task, investigate how other package management systems handle this. Find the best way to support it in MacPorts and implement it. |
