In the Handbook it gives this process as a test: Testing the port You should make sure that the port rules do exactly what you want it to do, including packaging up the port. Try doing `make install', `make package' and then `make deinstall' and see if all the files and directories are correctly deleted. Then do a `pkg_add `make package-name`.tgz' and see if everything re-appears and works correctly. Then do another `make deinstall' and then `make reinstall; make package' to make sure you haven't included in the packing list any files that are not installed by your port. Is this sufficient? Is there anything else that I should check? I'll be happy to test some this weekend. > Eivind.
