>Description:
The port net-mgmt/observium installs a version 0.11.5 of Observium
(i.e. from May 2011).  The Observium documentation (e.g. in
http://www.observium.org/wiki/Debian_Ubuntu_Installation )
specifies an URL of a community edition as:

  http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz

which is a version 0.13.10.4585, i.e. as far as I can tell the
first and so far the only community edition of Observium, and
mostly matches the last public SVN revision, so the transition
to a ports version would be mostly painless for current users.

The file fetched by the port presently is:
  http://observium.org/observium-latest.tar.gz
which is not mentioned anywhere in the docs.

Downgrading the last public SVN revision (which was supposed to be
used by public) to a two year old version would be a major disruption.

So, please update the port to switch to the official community edition.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install port net-mgmt/observium

>Fix:
I suppose: change URL in Makefile and update distfile hashes.
