here is how I do package moves:
- first I search all tree to see which packages depends on the package I
wanna move
- copy src -> dst and erase CVS dirs from dst
- cvs add dst dst/files
- cvs add all_files
- search and replace the old name with the new name (usually you should
edit only the first line of the ChangeLog)
- add a comment in ChangeLog
- repoman commit dst
- put a record in /profiles/updates/?Q-200?
- cvs delete all_files_from src
- cvs commit src
- replace & repoman commit dependencies found at first step

it is a laborious work, but it could be done.
too bad we don't use subversion :(
