Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:39757 mojca@…]:
 > Gnuplot docs list http://sourceforge.net/projects/libcerf/ as the
 homepage, but the site contains nothing but the link to http://apps.jcns
 .fz-juelich.de/doku/sc/libcerf. I'm not sure which site should be listed
 in the Portfile.

 Agreed, the sourceforge page has nothing useful; listing the other site,
 like you did, seems best.

 > The second problem is that based on the current layout of
 http://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/src/libcerf/, it might happen that the
 author plans to move the file under {{{old/}}} once a new version gets
 released. That could be a tiny bit of a problem for MacPorts for a while.

 You can list both the current location and the hypothetical future "old"
 location in the master_sites. Many ports already do this, although it was
 more of a problem before we had our own distfiles mirror network. Now that
 our mirrors will copy the distfile at the time that you commit it to the
 repository, it's not really a problem if upstream later moves or removes
 it.
