            Bug ID: 224370
           Summary: Wrong path documented in make package in ports(7)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jeromer at fastmail.net

In man 7 ports (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&sektion=7) the
"package" section states the following:


     package              Make a binary package for the port.  The port will
                          be installed if it has not already been.  The
                          package is a .tbz file that you can use to install
                          the port on other machines with pkg-add(8).  If the
                          directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, the
                          package will be put into the current directory.  See
                          PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE.

However when running make package it appears the built package is not a .tbz
but a .txz in work/pkg

Maybe it would be great to reword it like this:

     package              Make a binary package for the port.  The port will
                          be installed if it has not already been.  The
                          package is a .txz file that you can use to install
                          the port on other machines with pkg-add(8).  If the
                          directory specified by PACKAGES does not exist, the
                          package will be put into the current directory in 
                          work/pkg. See PKGREPOSITORY and PKGFILE.
