Thanks for your reply. I'm still learning about the ports system and
how to find the info I need.
I don't have a /usr/ports/MOVED on my system. Am I supposed to be
looking on the FBSD web site somewhere?
I did find the cvsweb stuff but do not understand what I'm looking at.
I see directories like "files", "scripts", and "attic". The "Last log
entry" just says "Main modification graphics/gd (based on 1.8.4)..."
which I don't know how to interpret. Is there something I can read to
learn about this?
Thanks for helping.
