The problem with UPDATING is that it's only visible to people with a checked-out ports tree; people who only use binary packages will never see the messages.

You still want to put stuff in UPDATING, but pkg-message is actually the most helpful as it's visible to everyone using pkg (FreeBSD upstream, poudriere, etc.).

See https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/porters-handbook/pkg-files/#porting-message, especially "Example 4: Display a Message on Upgrade."

pkg-updating(8) requires a ports tree checked out locally. For users who exclusively use pkg(8), messages only come from pkg-message.

There is something strange going on with this diff. When trying to apply it via arc patch D41048 I do get the audio/mumble-server port, but it contains PORTNAME=murmur and PORTVERSION=1.3.3. Maybe this is because the patch doesn't apply.

@vvd can you please refresh it?

I don't know how to do this correct in one patch: 1) rename port, 2) update to new version.
So patch can look weird and possible not all tools can work correctly with it. This part:

Create a commit, then use git format-patch -1.

I don't know if this is what you asked for...

As an option, create a new port with new UID/GID, and specify DEPRECATED in the old one and for some time there will be 2 ports at the same time. And then delete the old one with an entry in UPDATINGS describing the migration process.

I actually like this plan, even without deprecating. Just leave it as it is, use new UID/GID and free old UID/GID. In the pkg-message change step 5 from pw usermod to chown -R.

I check - update from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4 is trivial. Can I update it and take maintainership without review?
Also it need LIB_DEPENDS=devel/abseil - tested in poudriere.

After that I'll update patch in this review.

If you want to test it - get current patch.
If you want to see diff with old murmur - check history patch here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41048?id=133095
