-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...

 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.

-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

 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
-<code>pkg_add</code>   The results after an add should EXACTLY
-match the results after a `make install'.

+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.
