FreeBSD Port Tips

How To Update the FreeBSD Port

• cp -r sfslite sfslite.orig
• Change the Makefile to reflect new version
• Change pkg-plist if there are new files, etc.
• Run 'make makesum' to make a new checksum file.
• cd /usr/ports; diff -urN devel/sfslite.orig devel/sfslite > /tmp/sfslite-patch
• run 'send-pr' with Category:ports and Class:maintainter-upgrade
• Attach the patch as the body of the PR
• send

Note the other two ports don't need to be upgraded, since they mainly point to the main port.
