(1) Describe the change in ports skeleton layout. I think I caught
everything, but please let me know if I missed something.
(2) Explicitly allow using things other than the "split" sequence (aa,
ab, ac...) in patchfile names, in particular those that represent
the names of the files being patched.
(3) Add a little note recommending the use of DISTFILES over
DISTNAME/WRKSRC/EXTRACT_SUFX when the source extracts into
${WRKDIR}/${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION} but the archive filename is
not ${PORTNAME}-${PORTVERSION}.tar.gz.
(4) There is error checking in category names now.
(5) There are more MASTER_SITE_* variables now, so just list a couple
and refer the readers to bsd.sites.mk.
(6) Explain EXTRACT_PATCHES. In particular, note that you shouldn't
copy patches into ${PATCHDIR}.
(7) Mention that pkg-install is called with sh.
(8) The first letter of the package name should be lowercase. (We'll
rename existing ports soon.)
While I'm here, fix a couple of minor indenting problems in the
paragraphs I was editing. It seems emacs some times messes up
auto-indentation, causing stuff like
===
<para>This is <emphasis>not</emphasis> a manual or an in-depth
description on how to use or compile the port! <emphasis>Please
be careful if you are copying from the
===
(the "be careful" should be in the same level as "description")
Also, convert a couple of "Note that" to real <note>'s.
