+pkglint is for pkgsrc packages what lint(1) is for C files. It checks
+for various things that the used languages cannot detect, for example
+application-specific restrictions on certain variables.
+
+Before importing a new package or making changes to an existing package,
+pkglint should be run in the package's directory to check for common
+errors.
