>Description:
The latest upstream release of dspam is 3.10.2, which was released almost a year ago in April of 2012.

The mail/dspam port is stuck at version 3.9.0, which is over three years old.  The mail/dspam-devel port is also a version behind (see PR #167289).

It looks like back in 2011, we stopped merging over changes from dspam-devel to the main dspam port once they became stable, as was the process in the past.

I'm unclear why that happened, as I can't find any explanation in svn comments or in any problem reports.

It doesn't seem to be a backwards compatibility or painful upgrade issue either, as the release notes for dspam itself states:

  "We expect no changes are required to upgrade to 3.10.0"

So basically, dspam-devel has become the de-facto stable port.  Which probably shouldn't be the case.

Thoughts?
