Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->freebsd-doc portlint is accurate. This is a documentation issue What about the following patch, for starters.
Also, perhaps we should add a line stating that unless a *_DEPENDS
target is a library or binary in the path, it should be prepended
with either LOCALBASE or X11BASE where appropriate; LOCALBASE if
the dependency port has a standard PREFIX; or X11BASE if USE_X_PREFIX.

Yes, like portlint warns you about. *nod* -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven / asmodai / Kita no Mono / xMach coreteam asmodai@[wxs.nl|xmach.org], finger asmodai@ninth-circle.org http://www.softweyr.com/asmodai/ The distance to here is infinite...

The Porters Handbook, part 4.10 lists a dependency on ${PREFIX}, while a portlint check says people should use ${LOCALBASE} or ${X11BASE} instead. Fix: Not sure. Either the documenation is faulty, or portlint is outdated. Hence submitted to ports at first, but can/needs to be reassigned to docs if it is a documenation error. How-To-Repeat: Have a port with a dependency which contains ${PREFIX} and unleash portlint -abcvtN on it.
