[ Note: I am cross-posting -ports and -doc. Please trim your replies as appropriate. ] http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/porting-portlint.html 2.5. Checking your port with portlint Please use portlint to see if your port conforms to our guidelines. The portlint program is part of the ports collection. In particular, you may want to check if the Makefile is in the right shape and the package is named appropriately. Okay, but where is portlint? How do I use it? 0-17:37 dannyman@noneedto ~/work/ports/p5-Net-XWhois> portlint portlint: Command not found. 1-17:37 dannyman@noneedto ~/work/ports/p5-Net-XWhois> make portlint make: don't know how to make portlint. Stop Hrmmm. Also, I asked on -ports about why don't the Perl modules build honoring PREFIX and was told that the ports collection was broken in this regards. I suppose it would be neat if there were someone who grokked this and could bring -doc up to speed. I may qualify in a few weeks once I've burned myself enough times.
