Ok, thats good so far then. Thanks for the assessment.

Now, what's portlint?

And I have a question or two about the rpm. Do I need to script 
something to just extract the files needed, or is it already in the mk 
files already somewhere?

And how do I work out the url for fetching the rpm? This particular one 
is a moving target as the distro is already eol. Is it stored on the 
FreeBSD servers? Or what do I do here?

In the porters handbook it mentions checksums and "make makesum" - does 
that mean I have to put it in the ports tree to try it?

And is pkg-message scripted or do I just create it?

Thanks again.
