Hi I am the maintainer for https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/unifi-poller/ and the upstream project has had to change its name to unpoller so I want to change the port name to reflect this. How should I manage the user and group previously created in /usr/ports/UID and /usr/ports/GID for this? Should I rename the previously added user/group, or should I add a new user/group and mark the previous one as available again? Also, apart from adding an entry to /usr/ports/MOVED (and updating port location in /usr/ports and port files) is there anything else I need to do to mark the port as moved? Thanks Anthony
