Comment(by devans@…):

 Understand, I was just figuring out some of the same things here.

 With regard to fetching from svn:

 This is acceptable for MacPorts but you should not have a port that always
 fetches the head revision.  This produces a port
 that can behave differently for different people depending on which
 revision they happen to fetch.  You should choose
 a fixed revision level, specifying it with the svn.tag keyword and
 incorporate the revision level into version number
 so that it is apparent what version people have.

 This allows you to be sure that the current port version has been tested
 and verified.  You can increment the revision
 number as necessary when you have assured yourself that it works properly.

 See port inkscape-devel for an example.
