+Newly created packages should be imported with a vendor tag of "TNF" and
+a release tag of "pkgsrc-base", e.g::
+
+ cvs import pkgsrc/<category>/frobnitz TNF pkgsrc-base
+
+Packages derived from a FreeBSD port could be imported with a vendor tag
+of "FREEBSD" and a release tag of "FreeBSD-current-YYYY-MM-DD" (YYYY-MM-DD
+being the date when the snapshot of the port were taken form the FreeBSD
+tree), and then doing the necessary modifications by normal CVS operations.
+E.g:
+
+ cvs import pkgsrc/<category>/mumbler FREEBSD FreeBSD-current-1998-04-01
+ cvs rm patches/patch-a
+ cvs add patches/patch-aa
+ cvs ci
