New development repository location.

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

Excellent news! I think lagging behind ports-master won't be too great a
burden, as long as the sync-up is done on a regular basis.

What's involved in keeping the repo sync'ed with ports-master anyways?
I'm not much of a coder anymore, but maybe I could help with something
like that.

Cheers,
