Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Yes, the ports should not differ in ways they don't need to. For example:

  * The ports differ in whitespace. (ledger should be updated to use only
 spaces for whitespace, not a mix of spaces and tabs -- fixed in r)
  * The categories differ. (Should the categories in ledger-devel be added
 to ledger?)
  * The maintainer email addresses differ. (The one in ledger-devel should
 be obfuscated.)
  * The homepages differ. (The correct canonical homepage -- whatever that
 is -- should be used in both ports.)
  * The master_sites differ. (ledger's ftp-based master_sites entry should
 be changed to match the http-based one in ledger-devel because ftp is a
 problematic protocol for some (including our primary distfiles mirror --
 it cannot mirror files from ftp servers).)
  * ledger-devel disables its universal variant for the reason that "gmp
 and mpfr are not universal" but this is false; both those ports are
 universal and ledger-devel appears to build fine universal.
  * ledger has some commented-out patchfiles. (Since this does nothing
 these lines can be removed.)
  * ledger-devel has an empty post-destroot block. (Since this does nothing
 it can be removed.)

 Also, ledger and ledger-devel need to be marked as conflicting with one
 another.

 If you approve, I'll make the changes to ledger, and you can make the
 changes to ledger-devel and attach the new file here.
