The ``FreeBSD Ports'' framework provides a lot of helpful parts that you
can re-use to build custom packages.  There is a lot of useful material
in the ``FreeBSD Porter's Handbook''.  You can read its latest version
online at

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

Parts of the Porter's Handbook explain how you can create a new port of
your own.

After you have the new port and its dependencies integrated into the
Ports system, you can create standard ``.tbz'' packages with a single
command from the port's base directory:

  % cd /usr/ports/local/yourport
  % make package

That's all.  If all the parts for fetching the sources, configuring
them, and building them are already there, the Ports will do the rest.
