I felt a little guilty a couple minutes after I committed that
message. I wasn't complaining about people who can't yet speak
English very well and produce a sub-perfect (ie. normal ;) pkg/DESCR.
That was really just a sudden randomly-timed outburst about the
people who write these things and don't bother to proofread them,
spending no more than the absolute minimum amount of effort (which often
equates to "cat ${WRKSRC}/{README,INSTALL,UPDATE,*.[123456789]} >>
pkg/DESCR", although in some cases has been known to equate to "touch
pkg/DESCR").
It was not my intention to single-out any specific port, although I
imagine it sounded that way...
