Renaming a port

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 13:38:03 -0800

What's the procedure if I want to rename a port? I've been meaning to install ViewVC on my Mac since forever, and now that I finally have some free time, I thought I'd give it a shot, and realized it would be good to have a port for it. And in fact there is a port for ViewCVS, the old name of ViewVC, but it's old and not maintained. I'd like to try to update it, but the first step would be to rename it from viewcvs to viewvc. Do I just "cd dports/devel && svn mv viewcvs viewvc" or should we keep the viewcvs port around with a note about the name change? I note that the ethereal port still exists even though that project has been renamed wireshark. What's the recommended way to handle this situation? Is it documented somewhere?
