-Packages adhere to the same basic set of rules as standard KISS packages. -However, indentation is three spaces, instead of four. -The only package from Core that should be listed as an explicit dependency of anything is cURL; this is because cURL is not absolutely necessary. -Packages will only be accepted if they are available from an HTTPS source; a good place to find secure sources is the Debian repositories. You can also look at fossies.org. -Packages are expected to provide the bare-minimum necessary to get a program to run. In the event that there are multiple options for a given program (e.g what UI toolkit to use), always take the option that results in the fewest overall dependencies. Remember that forking is encouraged. -Internationalization should always be disabled by default. -Unless necessary for an existing package, arbitrary libraries will not be accepted. -Packages not interesting or useful may be allowed in unofficial, or will be rejected -New packages will not use install -d, nor shall they use sed -i. Neither of these are portable. The former can be handled with -D, and the latter can be accomplished using redirects. (note that this is subject to change if sed-i is put into core) -Packages built from Git will be stored under ports/unofficial/rolling -Packages built from tarballs will be stored under ports/unofficial/stable
