- Fix an issue where netcams were not connecting [1]
- When motion was updated to 4.x, it was overlooked that the default search path for the configuration files was changed. This was causing existing configurations to not be read. Fix the port to install default configuration in correct location and add an UPDATING message giving users the proper instructions on where to place their existing conf files. [2] - Create an empty ${ETCDIR}/conf.d directory that can optionally be used to dump camera configs in instead of creating separate lines for each one in motion.conf - Add some missing PORTDOCS and install with the correct mode - Make the VIDEO options OPTIONS_RADIO instead of OPTIONS_SINGLE to allow for netcam only support (suggested in [2]) - Fix bad logic in configure.ac that was causing V4L to not be dectected when the PWCBSD option was enabled PR: 216189 [1] Reported by: Charles P <charlespigott@googlemail.com> Patched by: <anthony@ury.org.uk> Obtained from: upstream PR: 216466 [2] Reported by: <bakhur@inbox.ru>, tdb@ Pointy hat to: jhale MFH: 2017Q1 (blanket)

you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ Version 3.x expected the configuration files to reside in:
+ ${LOCALBASE}/etc
+ Version 4.x expects the configuration files to reside in:
+ ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion
+ This was unfortunately overlooked when the port was updated to 4.x, but it
+ has now been fixed to install the default configuration file in the new
+ location. The rc script now checks for motion.conf in the new location.
+
+ While you may be able to simply copy your old motion.conf to the new location,
+ it is recommended to review ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion/motion.conf and make
+ changes to it based on your old ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion.conf as some options
+ have been added and removed.
+
+ Further, if you use motion with multiple cameras and have
+ ${LOCALBASE}/etc/thread[0-9].conf files, they should be moved to
+ ${LOCALBASE}/etc/motion as well. These files are deprecated and should be
+ renamed to camera[0-9].conf and in motion.conf, lines like:
+ thread /usr/local/etc/thread1.conf
+ Should be converted to:
+ camera /usr/local/etc/motion/camera1.conf
