+AUTHOR: sat@FreeBSD.org
+The following functional changes were made to bsd.sites.mk:
+
+ * MASTER_SITES variable can now contain special macros which are expanded into
+ traditional URL[:group] syntax and cause some convenient effects, e.g. set a
+ default M_S_SUBDIR.
+
+ * A macro is any space-delimited word in MASTER_SITES without a forward slash.
+
+ * If MASTER_SITE_<macro> is defined, then the macro is expanded to its value.
+
+ * Abbreviated macros are provided for extremely popular locations, e.g. CPAN
+ and SF. To avoid further obfuscation their unabbreviated equivalents should
+ be avoided.
+
+ * Popular macros can trigger M_S_SUBDIR to default to a predefined value, e.g.
+ ${PORTNAME:L} for SF and ${PORTNAME:C/-.*//} for CPAN.
+
+ * Abbreviations and M_S_SUBDIR defaults are defined by MASTER_SITES_ABBREVS
+ and MASTER_SITES_SUBDIRS, both set in bsd.sites.mk.
+
+ * If a macro belongs to a group (e.g. SF:source1), all the sites it expands
+ into also belong to the same group.
+
+ * Macros and traditional URL's can be mixed safely, their order stays intact.
