            Bug ID: 193119
           Summary: Porters handbook, section 3.4, port testing is
                    outdated
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org

This section looks outdated to me:

Procedure 3.1. Recommended Test Ordering


It doesn't mention "make check-plist" or "make stage-qa".  The "make
check-orphans" I believe is part of "make check-plist".


This is important to fix because I ask a lot of people to prove their new port
works, they follow these instructions, but still errors pass that could be
caught.

Somebody should look this over to see if better testing on new ports can be had
(in the absence of poudriere)
