> When a port has been repo copied:
>
> 1. Upgrade the copied port to the new version (remember to change the PORTNAME so there are not duplicate ports with the same name).
> 2. Add the new subdirectory to the SUBDIR listing in the parent directory Makefile. You can run make checksubdirs in the parent directory to check this.
> 3. If the port changed categories, modify the CATEGORIES line of the port's Makefile accordingly
> 4. Add the new module entry to CVSROOT/modules.
> 5. Add an entry to ports/MOVED.
However,
5. is problematic, since in this case we don't need it. At least we need some explanation.
I propose to swich this to:
5. Add an entry to ports/MOVED, if you remove the original port.
Per Kris, 5 is okay for repo move, though.
