If you know how to do that, I did not. I am guessing, you remove the
pureftpd Portfile, and it would more or less do nothing, other than tell
you to go install something else? I am fine with that. I believe it will
be very important that any activated pureftpd ports be backed up,
deactivated and then pure-ftpd put in place.
It would probably be worse to not change the name, as an upgrade would
then be easily possible, leaving a good deal of mess behind. Much like I
believe what will make moving Apache2 to a more appropriate location is
going to be challenging, this is similar. The name change in this case,
makes it easier.
