-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
