Created attachment 174419 [details]
Consolidate logs under /var/log/nginx, minor cleanups

Like in bug #195916, the same problem exists for nginx-devel, default (compiled-in) log location is littering /var/log. Attached is a patch that consolidates nginx logs under /var/log/nginx, and cleans up some tabs to quiet portlint.

Portlint  OK (some warnings from before)
Poudriere OK (11.0-RC2, amd64)
Comment 1 VK 2016-09-06 15:45:55 UTC 
For /usr/ports/UPDATING:

"""
  AFFECTS: users of www/nginx-devel
  AUTHOR: 

  Nginx now creates logs under /var/log/nginx/ and changes default log
  names from "nginx-access.log" and "nginx-error.log" to "access.log" and
  "error.log" respectively. This is important for the error log because
  the location is encoded and touched by nginx during startup regardless
  of the configured location for the error log.

  See http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/147 for additional information
  on why this happens.

Log:
  www/nginx-devel: Change default log locations to avoid /var/log pollution

  The nginx error log default will always be touched regardless of the value
  of the error_log directive in nginx.conf.  This is not a bug.  It also
  breaks shell tab completion for the sane default of /var/log/nginx.

  This change aligns the compiled-in default and the configuration default
  of error log to a new default /var/log/nginx directory.
