Hi,
I am unsure whether you are thinking about documentation for packaging
(ie. creating packages) or documentation for FDNPKG... These are two
different things.
If you are looking for pointers about how to create package, you might
find some good information to start here:

really appreciated when I transitioned to Linux almost 20 years ago
was how good the documentation was. Especially when I used Crux Linux
and their ports package system [0]. How to make a package, how to use

Thanks for your feedback!
