cd /usr/ports/misc
cvs rm -Rf cbb
cd ../devel/quirks
vi Makefile (bump)
vi files/Quirks.pm (add to setup_obsolete_reason hash at the bottom
i.e. around line 630, the numbers at the start of the line come from
$obsolete_message; pick an existing one or add a new using a spare
number e.g. you could go with 8 => "not Y2K compliant" if you want
something more fun than 6 or 9)

That's the general approach for most things. If someone already has
it installed _it will stay installed_ but print the message.

Sometimes it makes sense to directly merge an old port into a new one if
there's a very close equivalent.

python ports are more fiddly because they depend on a more specific
version of python, which breaks things when python switches to a new
major release i.e. 3.13 -> 3.14 etc - so needs to be done in an extra
annoying way...but not relevant for cbb.
