I moved them because portlint complained about where they were.  That was 
the entire point of my question.  Did you actually run portlint against the 
PRs?  Or are you just assuming from looking at them?

I know where CATEGORIES is *supposed* to go (according to the Porter's 
Handbook), but portlint didn't like it there.  It kept complaining when it 
put it where I normally do, which is right after PORTVERSION and right 
before DISTVERSION, etc.

If I do this:
PORTNAME=       barnyard
PORTVERSION=    0.2.0
CATEGORIES=     security
MASTER_SITES=   ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=     barnyard

MAINTAINER=     pauls at utdallas.edu
COMMENT=        An output system for Snort

I get this:
portlint -A
WARN: /usr/ports/security/barnyard.new/pkg-plist: Both ``%%PORTDOCS%%@dirrm 
%%DOCSDIR%%'' and ``%%PORTDOCS%%@unexec %D/%%DOCSDIR%% 2>/dev/null ||

If I do this:
PORTNAME=       barnyard
PORTVERSION=    0.2.0
MASTER_SITES=   ${MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE}
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=     barnyard

Maybe my portlint is screwed up?
