A Google search only gets me example cases where it is used, but no explanation of where are this macros defined. The only described expansions documented in pkg_create(1) (the place where the packing list format is documented) are %F, %D, %B, and %f. I'm sending copies to the portlint maintainer (also one of its authors), and to docs@. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
