But that should be easier to find where a port is located easier than 'port dir portname' ?
'port dir portname' only lists the first directory (when a port is present in several sources).
That's good, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do something like cd $(port dir foo) And that's also the port used if you type a command with this portname.
(and the primary category could be changed more easily if need be). How often does this really happen? (and svn mv isn't really that hard anyway).
There are drawbacks with some commands when one wants to look at the history before the port was moved.
What kind of drawbacks? Even if you did a svn mv in r42 and request an earlier revision 23 via http://.../foo/Portfile@23 subversion fetches it from the old location. That's the advantage of svn mv over pure mv. Rainer
