Evasive action may be needed: graphics/xfig-devel port deleted
I found out about this during may normal daily portmaster -ad run, which is one of the worst points for it to happen, as: ... === The graphics/xfig-devel port has been deleted: Has expired: Stable version is more recent than devel version === Aborting update Terminated Script done on Wed Nov 28 04:21:13 2012 As I had actually checked /usr/ports/UPDATING (so I would know in advance of running portmaster of any evasive action I might need to take), and saw that the most recent entry was still the one for devel/git from 12 Nov, I was rather surprised (and not in a good way). 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 version 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).

There is a file called MOVED which gives this information. Of course. But with g1-227(10.0-C)[3] ls -1 /var/db/pkg | wc -l 732 700+ ports installed on this machine (my laptop), grepping for each of them daily is absurd. (I thought MOVED was intended more for programmatic parsing than human readability anyway) I think in this case it may be worthwhile to change the graphics/xfig-devel entry to include |graphics/xfig| ... I have no quarrel with the MOVED entry as it is presently constructed: the whine that portmaster issued was clear and understandable. That it casued the entire process to terminate is annoying. It seems to me that this is exactly the kind of situation for which UPDATING entries have been created in the past. And since there wasn't one for this one, I felt rather blindsided, which is rarely (if ever) pleasant. It is almost certain that an UPDATING entry would have allowed me to avoid the negative effects.

Normally portmaster just understand MOVED correctly, if I had correctly set the graphics/xfig in it, it would have been straight forward for you.
