Well, there's no linux_devtools-8 because I didn't see the need to ask for
a repo copy.  The history I wanted was already in the removed
linux_devtools port.

These combinations should work:

- linux_devtools-6 and linux_base-6
- linux_devtools-7 and linux_base
- linux_devtools and linux_base-8

Once you choose to install one of the linux_devtools ports, it should
bring in the proper linux_base port as a dependency, or warn you of the
conflict if you already have another linux_base installed.  If I
understand you, you only find the naming confusing, right?
