I'm working on a port update for one of the ports that I maintain, and I've run
into a problem that I can't seem to solve.

I use this construction to ensure that the port doesn't overwrite the conf
file, if one exists:

..for f in barnyard2.conf
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/etc/${f} ${PREFIX}/etc/${f}-sample
[ -f ${PREFIX}/etc/${f} ] || \
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/etc/${f} ${PREFIX}/etc/${f}
..endfor

But it gets overwritten anyway. What am I doing wrong? I thought this worked
before, but I can't be sure. Testing proves that it does not work now. I
tried to changing to an if [ ! -f construction, but that didn't do a thing.

I think it should work, I used to write the same in audio/shoutcast. Are
you testing by installing from port or from package? It should work for
ports but for packages, you need some more magic in pkg-plist. You can
also refer to audio/shoutcast how it is done there. Maybe is it what you
missed?

Instead of doing this in Makefile, do it in pkg-plist:

@unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/barnyard2.conf.sample %D/etc/barnyard2.conf;
then rm -f %D/etc/barnyard2.conf; fi
etc/barnyard2.conf.sample
@exec if [ ! -f %D/etc/barnyard2.conf ] ; then cp -p %D/%F
%D/etc/barnyard2.conf && chmod 600 %D/etc/barnyard2.conf; fi

I did some testing with the following script:

cd /usr/ports/security/barnyard2
mkdir -p `make -V WRKSRC`/etc
touch `make -V WRKDIR`/pkg-message
echo "Test file1" > `make -V WRKSRC`/etc/barnyard2.conf
make -DNOPORTDOCS post-install
md5 /usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf*
echo "Test file2" > `make -V WRKSRC`/etc/barnyard2.conf
make -DNOPORTDOCS post-install
md5 /usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf*

With these results:

vbox# cd /usr/ports/security/barnyard2
vbox# mkdir -p `make -V WRKSRC`/etc
vbox# touch `make -V WRKDIR`/pkg-message
vbox# echo "Test file1" > `make -V WRKSRC`/etc/barnyard2.conf
vbox# make -DNOPORTDOCS post-install
install -o root -g wheel -m 444
/usr/ports/security/barnyard2/work/barnyard2-1.7/etc/barnyard2.conf
/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf-sample
[ -f /usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf ] || install -o root -g wheel -m
444 /usr/ports/security/barnyard2/work/barnyard2-1.7/etc/barnyard2.conf
/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf
vbox# md5 /usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf*
MD5 (/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf) = 66e0834ee2cd3f45a229c954894aaead
MD5 (/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf-sample) = 66e0834ee2cd3f45a229c954894aaead
vbox# echo "Test file2" > `make -V WRKSRC`/etc/barnyard2.conf
vbox# make -DNOPORTDOCS post-install
install -o root -g wheel -m 444
/usr/ports/security/barnyard2/work/barnyard2-1.7/etc/barnyard2.conf
/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf-sample
[ -f /usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf ] || install -o root -g wheel -m
444 /usr/ports/security/barnyard2/work/barnyard2-1.7/etc/barnyard2.conf
/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf
vbox# md5 /usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf*
MD5 (/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf) = 66e0834ee2cd3f45a229c954894aaead
MD5 (/usr/local/etc/barnyard2.conf-sample) = 2ef1fb610a51b51da31397511cac748f

The first time I ran `make post-install`, both barnyard2.conf and
barnyard2.conf-sample were installed, and then when the 2nd `make
post-install` was run, only barnyard2.conf-sample was updated. If
didn't overwrite the existing barnyard2.conf.

Run the above script on your update port, and see if you get the same
results. If you do, then the problem is not with the ports Makefile,
but with the sources Makefile installing barnyard2.conf.

The above may be working properly, the problem could be that the
sources have code in them that installs barnyard2.conf to PREFIX/etc/.
Check the sources Makefile to see if they are installing this file.
If they are, patch them to install the file as the *-sample.

While this works when installing a package, you still need code in the
Makefile to install barnyard2.conf if it doesn't exist when installing
the port.
