Description John Marshall 2009-06-11 12:00:02 UTC
It looks like the line in packaudit which sources packaudit.conf landed
in the wrong place by accident - and stayed there.

This patch:

 - relocates the sourcing of packaudit.conf to earlier in the file where
   I think it belongs
 - doesn't touch the port revision number in the Makefile because I'm not
   sure what should be done with that in this case.  I have left this
   decision for a potential commiter.

packaudit defines all its variables in such a way as to allow for the
names to be already defined (e.g. via packaudit.conf or the environment)
and supplies its own defaults.  Then it sources packaudit.conf.  I have
deliberately increased the diff context window in the attached patch so
that reviewers can easily see what lies between the current and proposed
location of the packaudit.conf file sourcing.

How-To-Repeat: 
Define things in /usr/local/etc/packaudit.conf and watch them get
silently ignored - or watch packaudit test default locations and then
use untested locations from packaudit.conf.

While your intentions are OK, I am not sure whether it is worth the 
change. All variable declarations are still 'active' when we read the 
packaudit.conf and we read it in before we use the possible .conf 
variables. Thank you for submitting this nevertheless!

Log:
  Move the sourcing of packaudit.conf higher up in the tree
  so that for examplee DATABASEDIR can be specified there and
  is not "ignored"
