Description Piotr Smyrak 2023-07-08 15:54:40 UTC 
Created attachment 243316 [details]
Tiny, trivial patch to the Troff file

FILES section of the man page ports.7 only mentions locations of the /usr/ports, and the big Kahuna /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.

It shall also mention the default location of saved config storage:
/var/db/ports
