------------------------+--------------------
 The `port lint` warning about patchfile names should be relaxed. We should
 no longer recommend/require patchfiles to be named "patch-*.diff".
 Instead, we should allow any "*.diff" or "*.patch" patchfile name. The
 lint warning was originally added to discourage users from adding
 patchfiles that had neither the .diff nor the .patch extension, since that
 resulted in incorrect syntax coloring in text editors that determine the
 filetype from the extension.
