  <b>make plist</b> which makes the file PLIST in the <i>pkg</i> directory.
  This file is a candidate packing list.
  <p>
- Beware! The files are found by timestamp.  This means it does NOT:
- <ul><li>
- list any files installed with `tar' as their timestamp
- will not change and thus won't be found by `find'.
- <li>
- Update the <code>info/dir</code> file if .info files are added.
- Also, be sure that the <code>info/dir</code> is not part of the PLIST.
- <li>
- Try to do anything special with links or symbolic links.  A
- cursory test of tar shows it does the right thing with links
- and symbolic links so I don't see why we need to special case
- anything in the packing list.  But still...
- </ul>
- <p>
  Peruse `PLIST' and verify that everything was installed and
  that it was installed in the proper locations.  Anything not installed
  can be added to a port Makefile `post-install' rule.
  <p>
  Ports that install shared libraries will have another file called PFRAG.shared.

- Keep repeating uninstall and reinstall until perfect.
- <em>Perfect</em> is when everything installs and uninstalls
- in its proper location.  `pkg_delete &lt;pkg_name&gt;' is
- used to uninstall.  `sudo make reinstall' is used to reinstall.  See the
- `pkg_create' man page for other commands that may be added
- to PLIST to ensure all is cleaned up.  After an uninstall the command:
- <pre>
- $ find /usr/local -newer w-${PKGNAME}${FLAVOR_EXT}/fake-${MACHINE_ARCH}[-${FLAVOR}]/.install_started -print
- </pre>
- should only list standard directory names.
  <br><br><li>
  Test the packaging.
  After the port installs correctly issue the command
  <code>make package</code> to create a package.  To test the
- package first do a <code>pkg_delete</code> and then do a
+ package first do a <code>pkg_add</code> and then do a
- <code>pkg_add</code>   The results after an add should EXACTLY
+ <code>pkg_delete</code>
- match the results after a `make install'.
+ <br><br><li>
+ Verify dependencies. Peruse your logs to verify the port did detect what is
+ mentioned in DEPENDS, and nothing more. Check names for hidden dependencies
+ (stuff that exists elsewhere in the ports tree and might be detected if the
+ user installs some other ports first).
+ <br><br><li>
+ Verify shared library dependencies. Run <code>make lib-depends-check</code>
+ and add every <code>LIB_DEPENDS</code> or <code>WANTLIB</code> annotation
+ that is needed until it runs cleanly (run <code>make clean=package</code>
+ to remove the old package after updating the port's Makefile).
+ <br><br><li>
+ Check for regression tests, and whether they run cleanly. Set
+ <code>NO_REGRESS=Yes</code> if a port has no test infrastructure.
+ Please note: do not set <code>NO_REGRESS</code> if a port has an empty
+ regression infrastructure.
