Should python31a1 not have been a devel package?


The way it seems to be right now is:

If there's only a single port (cairo, pango, graphviz) and you want to have a port for the next not-yet-released version, then you use the -devel suffix (cairo-devel, pango-devel, graphviz-devel).

But if there are multiple versions of the port for each major version of the software (python*, gcc*), then you can just introduce the next major version portfile and let it mature from development snapshots to alpha to beta to release candidate to final releases.
