I elected to follow this approach.
1. checkout the ports tree in your home: svn checkout
https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head $HOME/ports
(or where-ever you want it)
Done.
2. Then, either add PORTSDIR=$HOME/ports to your environment, or as
root, edit /etc/make.conf and add:
Added PORTSDIR to .shrc and exported it.

I then created a directory under ~/ports/ for my port and copied to that
directory the files I had originally developed under /usr/ports.

$ pwd

I should note at this point that, when I was trying to develop this as
root underneath /usr/ports, I was able to install and deinstall the port
and to have it pass both 'portlint' and 'port test'. So I am reasonably
sure that the port was valid. The *only* thing I could not do was to
run 'make package' as non-root user.
Back to what I was doing underneath ~/ports.
I was able to call 'make makesum' and have it recalculate 'distinfo'.
At that point, again following the instructions at "Testing the Port"
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-testing.html),
I tried:
#####
$ make stage
===> p5-Devel-Platform-Info-0.16 Invalid perl5 version 5.20.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/home/jkeenan/ports/devel/p5-Devel-Platform-Info
#####
I got the same error message when I called 'make fetch'. I don't
understand this error message. perl-5.20.3 is the system perl here
(FreeBSD-10.3). I did *not* get this error message when developing as
root.
Is it the case that, if I am on FreeBSD-10.3,
https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head is unusable for ports development?
Please advise.
Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
