Just put the patch in the files directory if it does not exists create it and you won't need the EXTRA_PATCHES entry

Sorry I missed that one.

I think that bit of the man page should be rewritten, with an exact example of what it does, because if someone like me that writes a lot of make(1) code do not understand what it does, I do feel we should not be using it...

it is more

Small fixed

pkg 1.11 being out I think we can probably commit that one?

I don't think it belongs to the ports tree at all, everything in the ports should should be verifiable via the ports tree. If one want to bring in the ability to build this kind of base package, the right way to go, it so work on the framework to enable the use some kind of overlays. There has been some work in progress in that area, but nothing has been committed yet.

Keep the exit 1 which should have remained :)

let's wait that the working group at bsdcan happened before getting any further on this imho

I haven't been through all the code yet, but my understanding is that the leak has been "fixed" when libutil was modified, see rS336746
