The response I got on the freebsd-ports list seems to disagree.[1]
Maybe you should post there?
I personally think it should be in UPDATING, because
1. the normal method of upgrading (portmaster nameofport) does not work;
one must invoke the "-o" option;
and
2. how to deal with a moved port like this is not documented; I only
guessed at "-o" because I've seen it in lots of UPDATING entries.
I feel we should document it either way. It would be especially useful if
it's true that UPDATING is for bigger gotchas than this kind of move.
