The section "The Ports Collection" will tell you how to use the ports and packages and the "Porting Applications" section describes how one can contribute to the ports collection. + +NOTE: This tree can GROW significantly in size during normal usage! +The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles, +and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work +subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done +building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically +cleaned without ill-effect, though if you don't have the original +distribution tarball(s) for something on CDROM then you will need to pull +it all over your network connection again if you ever try to build the +associated port. |
