--- Comment #1 from Matthew Seaman <matthew@FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi, Mateusz,

Thank you for your submissions.  A few things:

  * With certain narrow exceptions, port and pkg names are usually all lowe=
r-
    case.=20

  * It also seems like the '12' part of the version number is intrinsic to =
the=20
    software name, and the version number is just the encoded date

    - Could you rename the to lang/retro12 and the PORTNAME to retro12 plea=
se?
    - Use DISTVERSION=3D2018.1 rather than inventing a PORTVERSION
    - Given that, you shouldn't need to set DISTNAME as the default will do=
 the=20
      right thing.
    - Similarly you shouldn't need to override the setting for WRKSRC

  * You've listed the maintainer as 0mp@FreeBSD.org -- I can't find that as
    a known user.  You should put your own e-mail address in as the maintai=
ner.

  * You don't need to explain all about the location of documentation and=20
    examples and other data in pkg-descr -- this is standard functionality =
and=20
    applies automatically for every port.

  * Similarly for pkg.message -- you're describing boiler-plate functionali=
ty.
    I'd remove pkg-message entirely: remember, less is more here and
pkg-message=20
    should be reserved only for those occasions where it is really needed.
