How To Update the FreeBSD Port

cp -r sfslite sfslite.orig
Change the Makefile to reflect new version
Change pkg-plist if there are new files, etc.
Run 'make makesum' to make a new checksum file.
cd /usr/ports; diff -urN devel/sfslite.orig devel/sfslite > /tmp/sfslite-patch
run 'send-pr' with Category:ports and Class:maintainter-upgrade
Attach the patch as the body of the PR
send

Note the other two ports don't need to be upgraded, since they mainly point to the main port.
