committers appear to prefer unified diff more) of the new and old
ports directories to us (e.g., if your modified port directory is
called <filename>superedit</filename> and the original as in our tree
is <filename>superedit.bak</filename>, then send us the result of
called <filename>superedit</filename> and the original is in our tree
as <filename>superedit.bak</filename>, then send us the result of
<command>diff -ruN superedit.bak superedit</command>). Please examine
the output to make sure all the changes make sense. The best way to
send us the diff is by including it via &man.send-pr.1; (category

<literal>ports</literal>). If you are the maintainer for the port,
be sure to put <literal>[maintainer update]</literal> at the beginning
of your synopsis line and/or set the <quote>Class</quote> of your PR
to <literal>maintainer-update</literal>. Please mention any added or deleted files
in the message, as they have to be explicitly specified to CVS when
doing a commit. If the diff is more than about 20KB, please compress
and uuencode it; otherwise, just include it in the PR as is.</para>
