Hi.
I have a mountain of good and bad versions of many single ports stored
that I wanted to go through and discard the garbage from.
I needed to see what I could find that would let me diff these different
versions of Makefiles, DESCR, etc.
I saw one CPAN Perl module that I wasn't clear about, so I did a portgen on
it. After looking for a test depend I also saw what would be added.
I don't intend to port this in or probably use it either.
Please ignore what these depends below are in particular.
I have 2 questions about this.
1. What is the correct way to write up something like this?
2. More important, why is that the right way?
I would like to know where to look in which code for ports process to
get a better understanding of how this plays out.
If I can only get one answer, question 2 would be far preferred.
Any help better than copy/paste would be great.
I would like to move beyond the idiot level of porting.
I want to fully understand the answer to question 1 by looking at the
OpenBSD porting code and knowing also what is done a certain way:
"just because that's SOP, no intrinsic reason"
