Hi,

As an exercise I'm trying to port a simple blackbox application, called 
bbweather. I've read the porters handbook, which is very clear. Still 
I've got two questions:

1) the port installs additional documentation. The handbook states that 
it must be placed in a particular location 
(${PREFIX}/share/doc/${PORTNAME}). The problem is that the application 
installs its docs in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/html/${PORTNAME}. This location 
is hardcoded in the source and there is no option not to install the 
additional docs. How can I solve this elegantly? I also want to use the 
ports flag NOPORTDOCS.

2) if I think I'm ready (and I've read the Do's and Don'ts) I want to 
send the port using send-pr. Do I need to supply a URL or something?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Lodewijk Koopman.
