Hi,


>From what I see in existing ports, there are 4 cases for -devel ports:

PORTNAME=bla-devel
or
PORTNAME=bla
PKGNAMESUFFIX=-devel
or
PORTNAME=bla
LATEST_LINK=    ${PORTNAME}-develor
or
PORTNAME=bla
and eventually NO_LATEST_LINK defined.

What's the logic behind ? When should one or the other be used ?


Thanks,
