My ports/38593
There is not strict check on second level.
I'd prefer using PostgerSQL, but can
do strict check with make/sh/so on.
But I do not like list of categories as
part of bsd.port.mk and want to see it
in separate file

Does we interested in, say, pkg-description
in second level port directory trees
if it is interesting as bundle?

Oh, sysutils/portupgrade... it is out of my interests.
