I'd read it (as well as this list archives) before asking the question
here. And I did it once more after your post.

My question was like "how to deal with a new port" just because simple
adding the new port to my portstree didn't do what I expected. Adding
a new port to FreeBSD ports tree is not just to create a new directory
with it's files. So when I didn't receive the expected result on
tinderbox, my question appeared. Sorry, but I can't find an answer to
this question following your link (am I blind?;-) ).

Thanks for the answer.


PS. My problem was with the port's Makefile which set some options for
amd64 arch while the port is actually an i386-only. And the testing
machine runs FreeBSD/amd64. ;-)
