 I still get FATAL errors with portlint -A.
 
 README.html is a generated file and not part of a port.
 
 Why don't you simply download 2.0 alpha2? Please use fixed snapshots
 when possible. If you want to add extra patches, you can add them
 as PATCHFILES, possibly conditionalized on WITH_CUPS_PATCH or
 WITHOUT_CUPS_PATCH.
 
 You should change the PKGNAMESUFFIX accordingly.
 
 You might want to convert files/netatalk.sh to a rcNG script, which
 should be easy if you are used to pkgsrc.
 
 The WANT_AUTO* variables are somewhat deprecated, please use the
 USE_AUTO equivaltents. Do you really need all those tools? Normally
 packages contain a pregenerated configure script, so that only
 GNU_CONFIGURE is necessary. Otherwise patching the configure
 script doesn't make sense. You should not need to patch ltmain.sh
 if you USE_LIBTOOL from the ports.
 
 Where is it that you use perl?
 
 I know that "See Netatalk's Makefile for more details on some of these
 options." is from marcus@ port, but I don't consider this very helpful.
 
  share/nls/POSIX
  share/nls/en_US.US-ASCII
 are not generated by your port, and shouldn't be part of the packing list.
 
 There are still manpages in the packing list.
 
 You should not remove user-editable configuration files, at least not
 if they are edited by the user.
 
 Please refer to the FreeBSD Porter's Handbook:
