emacs-devel is an bad naming?
emacs-current is ok?

There is a discussion at ports-jp ML how to maintain ports
for two or more version of an software.
For example, emacs-19.x, emacs-20.x, emacs-21.x, and more...

There is two methods how to do it.

Let an distributed software `foo',
There is foo-1.x, foo-2.x, and foo-3.x which we want to support
by ports/packages system.

Method 1(naming with version):

In this method, RC is occured always when new version of foo has released.
Now, for example, this is applied for editors/emacs.

                     RC              RC
             foo1    --->    foo2    --->    foo3
               |               |               |
               | UP            | UP            | UP
               v               v               v
             foo1            foo2            foo3
               |               |              |
  obsolete <---+               |              |
                obsolete <-----+              |
                               obsolete <-----+

    foo1: a port for foo-1.x.
    foo2: a port for foo-2.x.
    foo3: a port for foo-3.x.
    RC: repository copy
    UP: update commit (revision up)


Method 2(-stable/-current or -stable/-devel):

In this method, RC is occured only when obsolete version of foo
want to save on the ports tree.
(In other words, an obsolete version of foo-package is desired to
 be distributed.)

                            RC
              foo-stable    --->    foo-current
              (for foo-1.x)         (for foo-2.x)
                   | UP                  | UP
                   v                     v
                   :                     :     
                   :                     :
                   | UP                  | UP
         RC(*1)    v                     v
   foo1  <--- foo-stable             foo-current
              (for foo-1.x)          (for foo-2.x)
                   |                  |  |
                   |   apply a diff   |  |
                   +<-----------------+  |
                   | UP                  | UG
                   v                     v
              foo-stable             foo-current
              (for foo-2.x)          (for foo-3.x)

    foo1: 
    RC: repository copy
    UP: update commit (revision up)
    UG: Upgrade to a new version.
    *1: only when required.

Any other good method??

Thanks.
