	FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE; possibly earlier.

>Description:

	The handbook section 4.7.1.4, on testing a potential port,
	includes step 4:
	
		4. pkg_add `make package-name`

	which is apparently in error. The port I just submitted
	(t1utils-1.8) passes all other tests, and portlint, with no
	problems. Checking with jkh, I'm told this is a bug.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try submitting a port and following the instructions.

>Fix:
	
	I'm not sure what should replace step 4.
