Hi,
Following some recent comments on the evil ways of ports have of
writing in /etc on install -
The patch below (against 4-stable but it will probably apply easily
to -current) moves /etc/shells to /usr/local/etc/shells. It should include
the removal of /usr/src/etc/shells but "cvs diff -N -u ..." did not do what
I exepected :(
After installworld you will have to move /etc/shells to /usr/local/etc
by hand or only the default shells will be known.
To follow (if this is not flamed to death), bsd.ports.mk patch to
automate maintenance of /usr/local/etc/shells during port install, and (of
course) documentation patches (I have a grep).
I am running on this and it works as expected with and without
/usr/local/etc/shells installed and with /etc/shells removed. It needs
more hammering than I can give it to be sure it is safe in all conditions
hence this mail.
