The normal convention in ports is that package 'foo' is the stable
release version which you would be advised to choose unless you have a
specific reason otherwise and 'foo-devel' is some sort of beta or
unstable version that you'ld only want in exceptional circumstances.

Except that frequently 'foo-devel' does not get updated and may even lag
behind 'foo'

	Cheers,
