    initial v1  
    1 MacPorts does not have -devel packages in the way that some Linux distributions have them. Instead, those components are part of the main port. For example, the MacPorts zlib port contains everything that the zlib and zlib-devel packages might contain in such Linux distribution. We have not seen a need for that kind of separation in MacPorts.

    33MacPorts ''does'' have -devel ports that have a different purpose. They install a (usually) newer development version of a port, instead of the (usually) stable version provided by the main port. For example, the cairo-devel port currently contains a newer version of the same software that is in the cairo port.
