Description Igor Karpov 2002-12-11 09:40:01 UTC 
	
	manpage on "ports" should contain "make fetch-recursive" target description.

Fix: 

It would be good to add "make fetch-recursive" target description into the man page on ports. There are too many questions from newbies on this matter.
How-To-Repeat: 	
	man ports

I'll try to make the necessary changes and have them reviewed by
freebsd-ports and/or portmgr.  The ports.7 manpage contains a lot of
the stuff that /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk includes in comments.  There
are other things that could be added too. The following is a list, in
case someone is faster doing this and beats me to it:

Does anyone have a patch for this yet?  It would be nice to update
ports.7.  Can the original submitter at least propose some exact text
to be added if not a patch?

I've wrote some little patch for new targets. Check it.
