+
+ The couchdb port has an unfortunate side effect; versions before 1.2.0
+ will clobber local.ini. The port will refuse to build if that file is
+ present and an earlier version is installed, however no such protection
+ can be afforded to package installation.
+
+ To upgrade from 1.1.0 and earlier, simply move PREFIX/etc/couchdb/local.ini
+ out of the way until the upgrade is complete.
