            Bug ID: 238108
           Summary: "ports" man page needs update
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jwb@freebsd.org
                CC: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

The "package" section in "man ports" appears to be wrong on two details:

     package              Make a binary package for the port.  The port will
                          be installed if it has not already been.  The
                          package is a .tbz file that you can use to install
                          the port on other machines with pkg-add(8).  If t=
he
                          directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, t=
he
                          package will be put into the current directory.  =
See
                          PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE.

1. Default is .txz, not .tbz
2. If $PACKAGES does not exist, package is placed in work/pkg, not CWD
