Description simon 2003-06-16 23:30:15 UTC 
When a port's is pkg-descr file is deleted (cvs rm'ed), e.g. if the
port is changed into a slave port, it can occour that the description
link in ports.cgi does not work.  This is due to url.cgi not looking
for the description file in Attic/.

The next time INDEX is regenerated the problem should go away, since
the INDEX generation should correct the path to the real pkg-desc
file.

This has been reported for different ports a few times on the www
mailing list, last time by Jacob Atzen <jacob@aub.dk> with regards to
the mod_php4 port, which has been changed into a slave port.

The attach patch fixes this by making url.cgi look for pkg-descr in
Attic/ if it can't find the file in the expected directory.

This has been tested on 5.1-BETA with perl v5.6.1 and 4.8-STABLE with
perl v5.005_03.

How-To-Repeat: Go to
