--- Comment #1 from John Marino <marino at FreeBSD.org> ---
I personally am not a fan of "-devel" ports.  They are often troublesome to
maintain as evidenced by this very port getting pruned for lack of maintenance.
 And it's *huge*.

Why should dev versions be in ports?  Shouldn't there be a s/w quality
standard?  It seems from the description that the reason is "testing purposes".
 Is that supposed to be FreeBSD users testing a beta before the release to
avoid surprises?

If so, has that historically been valuable for wesnoth and what guarantee is
there that it will be cared adequately to avoid a repeat removal?

Also, maybe you should contact phillip at freebsd.org since he's the one that
maintained the original wesnoth-devel and see if he wants to commit it?

Finally: it's not going to get committed if doesn't support STAGE.  does it?
