Hi,
All in all, very nice work. I wish I had read something similar
when first starting out with the ports system.
One small criticism, though.
The doc. does a good job of presenting the fact that
adopting orphaned ports is a good place to start, but
never states any methods one would use to find
orphaned ports. (This is something I still have
questions on...)
Good work,
Peace,
Clayton Rollins
