To upgrade an existing port, read this, then read crossref:upgrading[preamble,Upgrading a Port]. When this document is not sufficiently detailed, refer to [.filename]#/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk#, which is included by all port [.filename]#Makefiles#. Even those not hacking [.filename]##Makefile##s daily can gain much knowledge from it. Additionally, specific questions can be sent to the {freebsd-ports}. [NOTE] ==== Only a fraction of the variables (`_VAR_`) that can be overridden are mentioned in this document. Most (if not all) are documented at the start of [.filename]#/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk#; the others probably ought to be. Note that this file uses a non-standard tab setting: Emacs and Vim will recognize the setting on loading the file. Both man:vi[1] and man:ex[1] can be set to use the correct value by typing `:set tabstop=4` once the file has been loaded. ==== Looking for something easy to start with? Take a look at the https://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts[list of requested ports] and see if you can work on one (or more).
