Comment (by ionic@…):
In the end, that's personal preference of the port maintainer(s).
"Some time ago" (years, actually) `glib2` and `glib2-devel` diverged in
such a way, that `glib2` was more recent than `glib2-devel`. I made a
request at the port maintainer and asked him to at least keep the versions
synchronized, if there's currently no new development version available,
instead of letting the `-devel` port go stale and be older than the normal
port, because people generally install `-devel` ports as they want to use
newer versions. Being left "behind" is not something I would expect from a
`-devel` port.
He initially dismissed the request, but came around later and since tries
to sync them up, AFAIK.
For me, everything is fine, as long as the `-devel` version is greater or
equal the "normal" one.
That said, there's no official rule for that, so it's merely my
preference.
