+ 11.1.5 Checking a package "portlint"
+ ====================================
+
+The NetBSD package system comes with a tool called "portlint" (located in the
+directory "pkgsrc/devel/portlint") which helps to check the contents of these
+files. After installation it is quite easy to use, just change to the
+directory of the package you which to examine and execute "portlint":
+
+> tron@lyssa:/usr/pkgsrc/devel/bison>portlint
+> OK: checking pkg/COMMENT.
+> OK: checking pkg/DESCR.
+> OK: checking Makefile.
+> OK: checking files/md5.
+> OK: checking patches/patch-aa.
+> looks fine.
+
+Depending on the supplied command line arguments (see "man portlint") more
+intensive checks will be performed. Use e.g. "portlint -a -v" for a very
+detailed and verbose check.
