Any FreeBSD user that utilizes the ports system should be reading /usr/ports/UPDATING after every ports tree update and certainly before they update any port. It amazes me the number of problems people encounter that could be easily answered or avoided if they just grepped through that file for the name of the port they were having trouble with.

Today there's a great bit of news in the file that I think makes lots of sense.

Creation of this new category is a great idea. I'm now able to easily see all the ports that deal with port management. There are a couple in there I was previously unaware of and will be checking out.
