I'm also pleased that I found quite a clean way of patching for the perl
fixes. There are now only two patch files in the port (as opposed to
29!); one to patch configure.ac and one for BoxPortsAndFiles.h (to make
the config dir PREFIX-clean). All other perl path updates are done using
sed in the Makefile itself (see the post-patch: target in the diff).
At some point I was thinking about writing a shell or perl script as an
interactive wrapper around bbackupd-config, bbstoreaccounts,
raidfile-config, etc. (Not necessarily all in one script). I will
probably add this to the port when I get around to writing it, but
depending on its usefulness, would it be something worth having as part
of the official release?
