Please read the Porter's Handbook (should be a link on the web site). In particular, I noticed that you haven't set PORTNAME or PORTVERSION. Also, you should update your ports tree with cvsup, install the latest portlint, and run 'portlint -abcvt' in your port directory. (Those are the flags I used, then it seems to spot most problems.) When you have fixed the problems, please use the send-pr(1) program to submit your port. By tradition the synopsis field should be "New port: hyperbuilder" or something. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
