Description mwm 2000-12-10 23:00:01 UTC 
Ports are showing up that aren't PREFIX-clean, even though the Porters
Handbook recommends against that. I suspect that telling people *how*
to test a port to see if it's PREFIX clean will help with that.

Fix: Here are patches to the Porter's Handbook.
How-To-Repeat: 
Try running a system with LOCALBASE set to something other than /usr/local for a year or so, and note how much stuff winds up installed in /usr/local.
