You're ignoring the real question there, Greg.

You said, "the install process tells you to copy things from
/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d".

Michael gave an example (pkgsrc/net/netatalk) that doesn't seem to.

It only takes him one example to prove you wrong.

When during a netatalk install are we told how to configure its rc
files?

I just cvs updated pkgsrc/net/netatalk and pkgsrc/mk and did a make
install. Here's all of what I got:

To have Netatalk start automatically at boot, you will need to set the
following variables in /etc/rc.conf (replacing "YES" with "NO" for those
services you wish to not run):
                atalkd=3DYES
                afpd=3DYES
                papd=3DYES
                timelord=3DYES

Example Netatalk config files have been installed in the examples directory
at /usr/pkg/share/examples/netatalk. Production config files are
installed in /usr/pkg/etc. If no config files existed before this
package was installed, default config files were copied in.

=3D=3D=3D> Registering installation for netatalk-1.6.1

So we know that those files "should be created". What should be in
them? No clue. Where can we find examples? We're not told. But they
are installed:

humbug:net/netatalk# ls -l {,/usr/pkg}/etc/rc.d/{atalkd,afpd,papd,timelord}
ls: /etc/rc.d/afpd: No such file or directory
ls: /etc/rc.d/atalkd: No such file or directory
ls: /etc/rc.d/papd: No such file or directory
ls: /etc/rc.d/timelord: No such file or directory
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  486 Mar 14 14:48 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/afpd*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  813 Mar 14 14:48 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/atalkd*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  412 Mar 14 14:48 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/papd*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  375 Mar 14 14:48 /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/timelord*

Bug in the package? Perhaps, but that's not the point.

The point is that the easy use of pkgsrc for many packages providing
daemons presumes that /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d will be trawled, so we
really ought to make using it a bit less unobvious.
