>Description:
	portsmon relies on the MOVED file to determine when it considers
	a port to be obsolete.  Currently, it considers devel/linux_devtools
	to be obsolete -- but it isn't.

	Here's the history:

devel/linux_devtools/Makefile:
revision 1.35
date: 2003/04/17 11:38:43;  author: edwin;  state: dead;  lines: +1 -1
It seemed that devel/linux_devtools was repocopied to linux_develtools-6
and linux_devtools-7, but that the original directory never was
removed. Finished this action and update dependencies.

MOVED:
revision 1.100
date: 2003/04/17 11:38:42;  author: edwin;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -1
devel/linux_devtools|devel/linux_devtools-6|2003-04-17|finished repocopy

devel/linux_devtools/Makefile:
revision 1.36
date: 2003/10/12 05:47:42;  author: trevor;  state: Exp;  lines: +61 -82
Add linux_devtools 8.0.

	So as of 2003/04/17, portsmon is happy to report that the new
	location of devel/linux_devtools is devel/linux_devtools6.  And
	so it remains to this day.
>How-To-Repeat:
	(n/a)
>Fix:
	I guess I can work around this in portsmon ... somehow.  But
	shouldn't there be some kind of notation added to MOVED when
	something gets reintroduced?  (I can imagine this problem
	affecting FreshPorts as well).
