Description Pau Amma 2019-09-03 12:18:31 UTC 
Section 17.1 of the Porter's Handbook (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/uses.html#uses-intro) gives "USES=gmake:lite" as an example, but section 17.31 (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/uses-gmake.html) and /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/gmake.mk both say that USES=gmake takes no argument. I'm told in IRC that the latter is correct. Maybe fix the example so it's actually correct usage?
