Ok - I wasn't clear on that one. I know they're called ports and would probably look for stuff like port creation / porting / port-something-else. Yet, it seems a bit weird to me that looking for freebsd packaging guide doesn't give you anything even remotely useful. (consider some developer who has a couple hours to spend, thinks about making a freebsd port, looks for packaging information and concludes that it's not even documented / not worth learning right now)
