As the current maintainer of the Allegro ports, I can tell you a few things
here. For one, the devel/allegro port will be updated to 4.4.1.1 as soon as I
can get some more time to finish patching it for FreeBSD and making sure those
patches work. For two, devel/allegro-devel is meant to be Allegro's
developmental version and does not necessarily need to be compatible with
devel/allegro in any way, and as such, once I get devel/allegro updated, I will
be updating devel/allegro-devel to 4.9.19. So basically, I would say is it up
to the maintainers of ports relying on any Allegro ports to side with one of the
ports and not rely on the other port. I can't force them into doing so, however.

Thanks,
Naram Qashat

Naram,

Thank you for your quick reply. I think that clears things up for me.
The issue I had run into was my code was written to work with Allegro
4.2 and I found 4.3 was missing a function I was using. However,
following your advice, I've made some changes and my package is
compiling again.

Jesse
