I=E2=80=99m hoping to get into porting for FreeBSD, right now just = focusing on one package, a plugin for bitlbee, however I=E2=80=99d like to = extend my hand to maintain other ports in the future once I have more knowl= edge and practice with the system.=20 Before I start, though, I just need some clarifications of things from the = porter=E2=80=99s handbook.=20 1. If I understand correctly, the version of the ports tree as fetched by p= ortsnap isn=E2=80=99t the best for working on the tree. I should instead ma= ke another copy of the tree as an svn checkout? Distfiles, however, still g= o to /usr/ports/distfiles 2. Is it absolutely necessary to use poudriere before submitting a port? I= =E2=80=99m still getting to grips with how it works, and if I need to get c= omfortable with it first, I=E2=80=99ll do so.=20 Thanks! Arthur
