Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:25544 daftalx@…]:
 > This port is tagged "-devel" as the Portfile is intended for developer
 and beta-testers use (though the engine already runs quite fine).

 If this is an unstable version, that's fine; if this is a released
 version, then the port should just be called "springrts" (no "-devel").

 > It will fetch & build the latest source from the official git
 repository.

 This is not ok; the port must retrieve and build a specific version. Is
 there a reason why the port could not just download the tarballs they
 distribute? That would be preferable.

 Also, I'm not sure "games" is the best primary category for this port,
 since this port is not a game, but a game engine; "devel" might be a
 better primary category. "games" could possibly stay as a secondary
 category.
