            Bug ID: 224370
           Summary: Wrong path documented in make package in ports(7)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jeromer@fastmail.net

In man 7 ports (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dports&sektion=
=3D7) the
"package" section states the following:


     package              Make a binary package for the port.  The port will
                          be installed if it has not already been.  The
                          package is a .tbz file that you can use to install
                          the port on other machines with pkg-add(8).  If t=
he
                          directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, t=
he
                          package will be put into the current directory.  =
See
                          PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE.

However when running make package it appears the built package is not a .tbz
but a .txz in work/pkg

Maybe it would be great to reword it like this:

     package              Make a binary package for the port.  The port will
                          be installed if it has not already been.  The
                          package is a .txz file that you can use to install
                          the port on other machines with pkg-add(8).  If t=
he
                          directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, t=
he
                          package will be put into the current directory in=

                          work/pkg. See PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE.
