This is my first effort to make a port update file locally on my
machine,
so be gentle :)
For a first Portfile, this is a bad choice, it does nearly all steps
manually (configure, no build, and destroot are all there in the
Portfile).
The docs seem to have me stuck at a bit of a "where to start" point.
Can someone explain, or show me relevant docs, on how you start a port
from scratch.
The docs jump right into Modeline, but I do not know the best place to
start with a file, what the directory layout should be etc.
Any tips on dev styles as well, for example, what about a case where
something takes a half hour to build, and every time you change a
path, or reference in the portfile, do you have to wait for each test
to complete, or are there some subtle tricks I am not aware of?
Thank you.
