Beginning mport Maintaining
Adding New mports
Initial Steps
First, check to see if the software is already in the MidnightBSD mports collection. A quick way to do this is by browsing the MidnightBSD web CVS mports collection. If it does exist, skip to the updating existing mports section. Similarly, you should now check to see if FreeBSD already has the software in their collection. Again, a quick way to check is using the FreeBSD Port Search page. If FreeBSD has already ported the software, this will make your job much easier.
Updating Existing mports
Updating an existing mport should be a bit easier than adding a new one. The first step should be updating the Makefile of the mport in question.
