I would like to see a little clarification on the handling of shar in the handbook. Not a lot, but maybe a few examples. Most of the pages on porting up to that point I found pretty clear, but that part I found a little vague. There's a line which says something like "attach the shar output to your PR report" and I found myself going back and re-reading that paragraph. Even if there's just a small example like: You can create a shar (shell archive) by running shar `find your_port_dir` To store this output in a text file for easy uploading to your port request, use shar `find your_port_dir` > myfile.txt It may seem like spoon feeding, but I think it would help clear things up a little. Really, we want more people working on ports, don't we?
