>Description:
	
	
	Upon running portlint -a I get messages like the following:
	WARN: /home/fernan/.../pkg-plist [21]: consider using DOCSDIR macro
	WARN: /home/fernan/.../pkg-plist: %%PORTDOCS%%@dirrm %%DOCSDIR%% is missing

	The use of these macros is not documented in the Porter's
	Handbook, nor on the portlint(1) man page.

	A Google search only gets me example cases where it is used, but
	no explanation of where are this macros defined. The only
	described expansions documented in pkg_create(1) (the place
	where the packing list format is documented) are %F, %D, %B, and
	%f.

	I'm sending copies to the portlint maintainer (also one of its
	authors), and to docs at .
