Q. My origin for a port has changed, what can I do? A. cvsup your ports and run pkgdb -F to fix the origins then run genmk.pl to create the Makefile with the correct origins. Q. restore-FreeBSD fails when building apel-emacs (or port xyz), why? A. This happens because the Makefile generates the dependencies in alphabetical order, apel-emacs doesn't check if Emacs is installed (which it probably wont be at this time). It then tries to write /usr/local/share/emacs/21.3/ (which also wont exist) and fails. It's on the TODO list.
