This is my personal workflow:
1. Take a simple copy of the port into my working directory
2. Get the port working in my working directory.
3. cd my-working-directory
4. diff -ruN /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-settings . > /tmp/nvidia-settings.patch
5. submit patch onto bugs.freebsd.org
Hope that helps.
Yes it does, I understand how it works now, I just needed an example, and I can
compare this with other methods to figure it out. How do you get the port
working in your directory? Is it poudriere testport? Thanks a ton.
