Hi,

since a commit in 2000, all net/bind* packages have hardcoded /etc for sysconfdir. I can only assume this was done for the benefit of the platform /etc/named.conf file that pre-exists on NetBSD. This makes things confusing on other platforms though that do not come with such and do not use /etc for PKG_SYSCONFBASE (and the package doesn’t generate its own by upstream decision).

I’d like to change the packages to use a standard $PKG_SYSCONF layout, but maybe I’m missing something. Is it worth leaving the existing rule in place conditioned for NetBSD only?

-F
