I should explain why it even proposes pkg-devel...

Due to needing to rebuild the packages for the past week with 1.3.7 I
was faced with a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation with publishing our
packages.

So I put the fix into pkg-devel and rebuilt the packages for the
previous week using pkg-devel.

Last night when 1.3.7 was released I updated pkg on the build systems
and rebuilt only Pkg on them. This then published all of the packages
for the past week, this morning.

"Rebuilt only Pkg" also means churning through about 1000 other packages
that tend to rebuild every time we do a build, regardless of them being
updated. We're working towards resolving that. This adds delay to the
final rebuild I had planned.

For the normal repositories this was all completed before the publish
this morning.

The SSP builder though is building far more than the normal builders and
was still building all of last week's packages as of this morning. So I
was unable to get it to use 1.3.7 before publishing the staged packages
for the past week.

There is no real issue with this. pkg-devel has no major updates and has
only been used for testing recent 1.3 fixes. Once the SSP repository is
published with the 1.3.7 build then it will propose pkg-1.3.7 again as I
no longer built the repository with pkg-devel.
