 I just checked http://www.freshports.org/devel/linux_devtools/ and it
 reports:
 
 Port Moves
 port moved to devel/linux_devtools-6 on 2003-04-17
 REASON: finished repocopy
 
 And that is all.
 
 FWIW, FreshProts determines that a port no longer exists when the Makefile
 is explicitly removed via a commit.  Therefore, this port is not marked as
 deleted.  That is one of the limitations of FreshPorts with respect
 to repocopies.
