The process isn't incorrect, the more correcter process is simply
shar -> send-pr.
Please check on:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-submitting.html
and ignore the part about tarballing and uuencoding it.
Basically, shar `find ./portname` > yourport.shar ; send-pr -a ./yourport.shar
What you submitted isn't incorrect or invalid. But, with my limited
FreeBSD time, I personally tend to ignore PRs where I can't read the
content, and I know I'm not the only one.
