If the origin of your package is no longer available, I'd use the last matching MOVED entry. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

The problem with this method is I've seen it fail before on gstreamer and a few others.

If you knew the date of the ports tree the package was built from, you could pick the first match after said date. This is what I'd like to do for the coming version of pkg_upgrade. There's no way to get this information, though. So I'll use the latest entry approach as this is the one I expect to fail least often (is that proper English?). -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
