 Priority:  Normal    |  Milestone:  Bro1.6
Component:  Broccoli  |    Version:  git/master
 Keywords:            |

 Craig Leres reported:

 >Something else I keep running into is it would appear that "make
 >install" clobbers config files in many cases. For example:
 >
 >    % pwd
 >    /usr/src/local/sbin/broccoli
 >    % make distclean
 >    % ./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/usr/local
 >    % make
 >    % make install
 >
 >overwrites the /usr/local/etc/broccoli.conf that I configure before the
 >install. The way I would expect this to work is to always update one of:
 >
 >    /usr/local/etc/broccoli.conf-sample
 >    /usr/local/share/examples/broccoli/broccoli.conf
 >
 >and create /usr/local/etc/broccoli.conf only if it doesn't already exist.
