Hi All,

I've just finished writing a program that runs under BSD... I'd like to turn
it into a port / package etc.

Can anyone point me at any URL's that have info on this? - I'm looking for a
guide to doing the port install / make scripts etc, and how to do man pages
etc.?

Is this the best way of doing it - or am I better off just putting the
source on an FTP site somewhere and letting people download it off there?
(without all the scripts etc. to make it a 'port')?

Regards,

Karl Pielorz
