Unfortunately at present you need several more lines than just this to make everything work properly.

* You should indicate there are no distfiles by adding the line:

distfiles

* You should ensure anyone trying to install this port is prevented from doing so by adding this block:

pre-configure {
    ui_error "${name} has been replaced by ${replaced_by}; please install that port instead."
    return -code error "obsolete port"
}

* You should remove all the lines of the port that formerly were needed to install it: checksums, dependencies, configure variables, destroot commands, variants, etc. etc.

* You should increase the revision so anyone who already has the port installed will be prompted to upgrade to its replacement.

* You should indicate in ticket #21174 that you've made these changes and then resolve the ticket.
