If you install to $PREFIX/etc/screenrc.sample ,
how does this become the default screenrc
for someone?

sysutils/screen/pkg-plist

Wow, the old pkg-plist logic was really convoluted.
Thanks for deleting it.

But how does the screenrc.sample that you install become the default?

I'd prefer the following. The only difference is that the hardstatus line doesn't display seconds (it's the hardstatus line I use). I don't have a problem making the proposed hardstatus a comment in the new file to allow the user to choose.

startup_message off
defscrollback 5000
termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@
termcapinfo xterm-color ti@:te@
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{gk}[%{G}%H%{g}][%= %{wk}%?%-Lw%?%{=b kR}(%{W}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%{=b kR})%{= kw}%?%+Lw%?%?%= %{g}]%{=b C}[%m/%d/%y %C %A]%{W}'
vbell off
shell -$SHELL
logtstamp on
logtstamp after 1
logfile flush

OK that is committed, should I push this change now?

This the magic of @sample in the pkg-plist.

It will install $file.sample AND $file.

on port remove, if the files differ, it leaves the modified file in place.

@sample does it for you. See prev comment reply I made.

OK, I read https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/plist-keywords.html#plist-keywords-sample
and matches what you said. plist magic!
Looks good.

Committed. Is there any value to having both samples by default? We can always change it later.

How would we do that? Not sure I understand.

[cy]

We can have both by naming the files screenrc.sample-1 and screenrc.sample-2.

That would be good, might want to put those under LOCALBASE/share/examples/screen/sample{1,2} or LOCALBASE/etc/screen/sample{1,2} as opposed to at the top level of LOCALBASE/etc/sample{1,2} to keep the top level etc dir tidy?

[alfred]

this is done!
