Yes, but "repocopies" as concept are obsolete - we use Subversion (SVN) for ports these days, where a "copy" is tracked by SVN itself. If I derive ports, and only then, I will just use "svn copy" and then modify accordingly (for instance, security/openvpn22 was set up that way). Note that some of the related and popular modules are not compatible with Lua 5.2, so if you want to help with those, feel free to contact [email protected] which is a list with three maintainers of Lua ports.
