If a -devel version of the port is needed, it should be a mercurial checkout
from the source repository for NGINX at the head of the master branch.

This port should be called nginx-mainline as its referred to in the upstream
project. Calling this port -devel is misleading, since this is not really a
development branch.

The following is a quote from the upstream project's blog:

Which version should I use?
In general, you should deploy the NGINX mainline branch at all times.  You may
wish to use stable if you are concerned about possible impacts of new features,
such as incompatibility with third-party modules or the introduction of bugs in
new features.

Some people who are not familiar with the upstream project may shy away from
installing a port named -devel when they should not.
