Good point on the variables!
I actually wanted to discus ln -s vs. cp. Isn't this a bad idea in
general? For the php bit I agree that it is useless to copy, but for the
phpmyadmin.conf I think it's actually required to cp instead of link: if
I customize the config I also modify the sample file which will get
overwritten by an update or pkg_add will scream about a bad checksum,
right?
