Hi, The name of this font has changed to include the version number. Can something about this be put in /usr/ports/UPDATING ? Because otherwise it's easy to miss. It's not like there has been a major change in version, or of the port name. But the font name is now completely different and this will affect everything that uses it. Before: (version 3.006) /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/.uuid /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-Black.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-BlackIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-Bold.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-BoldIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-ExtraLight.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-ExtraLightIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-It.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-Light.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-LightIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-Regular.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-Semibold.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSansPro-SemiboldIt.ttf after: (version 3.028) /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/.uuid /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-Black.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-BlackIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-Bold.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-BoldIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-ExtraLight.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-ExtraLightIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-It.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-Light.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-LightIt.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-Regular.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-Semibold.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/SourceSansPro/SourceSans3-SemiboldIt.ttf
This got broken again in https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=74953fa06f715a05f160d1ab32a58281aba4eb27 where the portname and the font name changed. An entry is present in /usr/ports/MOVED for this but it's not just moving it's changing name. Why isn't this in UPDATING ??
(In reply to tech-lists from comment #1) Thanks for reporting this. I agree that, since this update requires special actions to be successful, there should have been an entry in UPDATED. Unfortunately people have learned about this the hard way. While I fully agree that this should have been done, I do not see the benefits of adding the entry in UPDATING at this point in time more than 1.5 years after the problem. Would you agree?

I agree with respect to the initial report, as you say it was long ago. But the problem happened again, on 2022-01-28, referenced in comment #1, which is relatively recent, and an entry may be of utility to users upgrading to now from around that time. Thank you for looking at this.
Note added to UPDATING. Thanks!
