Ok, it still * doesn't cover every detail, but is perhaps a good guidance for the * "very beginner". * * Please could someone, who is experienced in writing smgl documents, * convert this into sgml (if you like this document) ? * * I think it should be included into the FreeBSD Handbook in the * ports section as an "life" example. I'm sorry, but there already is a "how to make a port" in the Handbook. It's buried somewhere in the "how to contribute" section, maybe that's why you didn't see it. Satoshi
