+.Sh FLAVORS AND MULTI_PACKAGES
+Starting with
+.Ox 2.7 ,
+each port can generate several packages through two orthogonal mechanims.
+.Sh THE GENERATION OF PACKING INFORMATION
+Starting after
+.Ox 2.7
+(around revision 1.300 of bsd.port.mk), all packing information is
+generated from templates in ${PKGDIR}.
+
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+If not overriden by the user, determine which set of templates to use,
+depending on the current SUBPACKAGE and FLAVOR information.
+Set ${PLIST}, ${DESCR}, ${COMMENT}, ${MESSAGE} accordingly.
+.It
+Detect the existence of ${PKGDIR}/{REQ,INSTALL,DEINSTALL}${SUBPACKAGE}.
+Modify PKG_ARGS accordingly, to use the generated files, and add
+dependencies to regenerate the files if the templates change.
+.It
+Generate the actual DESCR, and if needed, MESSAGE, REQ, INSTALL, DEINSTALL
+from the templates in ${DESCR}, ${MESSAGE}, ${PKGDIR}/REQ${SUBPACKAGE},
+${PKGDIR}/INSTALL${SUBPACKAGE}, ${PKGDIR}/DEINSTALL${SUBPACKAGE}, by
+substituting the variables in ${SUBST_VARS}, and by substituting
+${FLAVORS} with the canonical flavor extension for this port,
+e.g, if FLAVORS=no_map gfx qt2, if FLAVOR=gfx no_map, this is
+.Sq -no_map-gfx .
+.It
+Generate the actual PLIST from the template ${PLIST},
+by inserting shared/no-shared fragments, applying a possible user-supplied
+pipeline, merging other fragments, applying the same variable
+substitutions as other packing information, and finally handling
+dynamic libraries macros.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that ${COMMENT} is currently not substituted, to speed up
+.Ar describe
+generation.
+.Pp
+To avoid substitution, variables can be escaped as follows:
+.Li "$\e{PREFIX}"
+.Pp
+Constructs such as the line
+.Li "%%SHARED%%"
+or
+.Li "%%!SHARED%%"
+in the packing-list template trigger the inclusion of the
+.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.shared${SUBPACKAGE}
+or
+.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.no-shared${SUBPACKAGE} .
+.br
+Similarly, if FLAVORS lists flav1, then the line
+.Li "%%flav1%%"
+(resp.
+.Li "%%!flav1%%" )
+will trigger the inclusion of
+.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.flav1${SUBPACKAGE}
+(resp.
+.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.no-flav1${SUBPACKAGE} )
+in the packing-list. Fragments that cannot be handled by these simple rules
+can always be specified in a custom SED_PLIST.
+.Pp
+The constructs
+.Li "DYNLIBDIR(directory)"
+and
+.Li "NEWDYNLIBDIR(directory)"
+should be used in
+.Pa ${PKGDIR}/PFRAG.shared${SUBPACKAGE}
+to register directories that hold dynamic libraries (see
+.Xr ldconfig 8 ).
+.Li "NEWDYNLIBDIR"
+is meant for directories that will go away when the package is deleted.
+.Pp
+The special
+.Ar plist
+target does a fairly good job of automatically generating PLIST-auto and
+PFRAG.shared-auto fragments.
+.Pp
+In MULTI_PACKAGES mode, there is a main package that is built after several
+SUBPACKAGEs: make package is invoked recursively, after setting SUBPACKAGE
+to the right value. All SUBPACKAGEs should start with a dash, e.g.,
+.Sq -lib
+is a correct name.
+.Pp
+In MULTI_PACKAGES mode, there must be separate COMMENT, DESCR, and PLIST
+templates for each SUBPACKAGE (and optional distinct MESSAGE, REQ, INSTALL,
+DEINSTALL files in a similar way). This contrasts with the FLAVORS
+situation, where all these files will automatically default to the
+non-flavor version if there is no flavor-specific file around.
