Currently, it considers devel/linux_devtools to be obsolete -- but it isn't. Here's the history: devel/linux_devtools/Makefile: revision 1.35 date: 2003/04/17 11:38:43; author: edwin; state: dead; lines: +1 -1 It seemed that devel/linux_devtools was repocopied to linux_develtools-6 and linux_devtools-7, but that the original directory never was removed. Finished this action and update dependencies. MOVED: revision 1.100 date: 2003/04/17 11:38:42; author: edwin; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1 devel/linux_devtools|devel/linux_devtools-6|2003-04-17|finished repocopy devel/linux_devtools/Makefile: revision 1.36 date: 2003/10/12 05:47:42; author: trevor; state: Exp; lines: +61 -82 Add linux_devtools 8.0. So as of 2003/04/17, portsmon is happy to report that the new location of devel/linux_devtools is devel/linux_devtools6. And so it remains to this day. >How-To-Repeat: (n/a) >Fix: I guess I can work around this in portsmon ... somehow. But shouldn't there be some kind of notation added to MOVED when something gets reintroduced? (I can imagine this problem affecting FreshPorts as well). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
