I've submitted a patch for Postgres server ports with a note about 
enabling checksumming 
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214671). I'm now 
preparing to submit a patch with a similar "Nice to know" tip for 
Roundcube (changing default_host breaks the user profiles, and how to 
fix it).

Is pkg-message the right place for such tips and gotchas? Do we need a 
separate mechanism where users could collate and submit tips they find 
important when installing/upgrading/configuring the port (yeah, those 
three exact use cases, I'm sure pkg-message is not the best place for 
regular usage tips). Aside from UPDATING of course, which is just 
supposed to be important notes about one-time updates/upgrades.
