1, MAINTAINER=     you@example.com
Set your email in this variable.

2. This is the default value:
DISTFILES=      katifetch-${DISTVERSION}.tar.gz
You can remove this line.

3. Incorrect variable order - use portfmt and portclippy from ports-mgmt/portfmt and ports-mgmt/portlint for check port.

4. Distfiles is 29MB?!?! 
SIZE (katifetch-13.1.tar.gz) = 29181909
With one shell script?
450820 katifetch.sh
Can you create release without unnecessary files or install just this file?
You can check port shells/bash-completion-zfs for example.

5. Remove WWW: from pkg-descr - this information moved to Makefile in variable WWW.

Friendly ping.
Comment 3 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-03-08 22:15:08 UTC
There are already multiple ports of this type of utility in tree already. I fail to see why this is different from the already available ones.

New port: sysutils/katifetch in git diff format

^Triage: convert from gzip to the now preferred git diff format.
Comment 5 Mark Linimon freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-04-08 00:27:51 UTC
^Triage: note that this new port will not be accepted until there is a non-
anonymous MAINTAINER field.
