Description Kevin Hung 2015-01-29 21:01:31 UTC
I think there should be a section after either "4.6. Handling User Input" or "9. Testing the Port" to refer to the same "Submitting the New Port" section that the Quick Porting section has. All the other items under Quick Porting have a separate expanded section, but it's a bit confusing to not have one for submission of the port.

As a more concrete documentation fix, the "bug submit form" link in section 3.6 should probably direct to here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Ports%20%26%20Packages

Otherwise, it should state to choose "Ports & Packages" and then select "Individual Port(s)" for the Component. Right now it just says "category Ports Tree", which is quite confusing as that is not an option anywhere in the current system.

Section 10 already talks about this.
