After running "portmaster -o graphics/xfig graphics/xfig-devel", I was able to proceed, but I would have appreciated an UPDATING entry. There were some other ports deleted in graphics: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r307900 | bapt | 2012-11-28 03:17:55 -0800 (Wed, 28 Nov 2012) | 14 lines 2012-11-26 ftp/mget: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 graphics/yap: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 games/demonquake: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 databases/php-sqlrelay: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 devel/fastdep: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 graphics/svgviewer: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 comms/garmin-utils: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 comms/snooper: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 graphics/xfig-devel: Stable version is more recent than devel ve= rsion 2012-11-26 irc/irchat-jp: No more public distfiles 2012-11-26 games/xcogitate: No more public distfiles Feature safe: yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ so folks who use any of those might want to make note (and take appropriate action).
