I suggest:<br>
1) agree on several (~20 ) categories (something like in pkg-src);<br>
2) move individual components to corresponding categories as they are touched;<br>
3) avoid creating new top-level components;<br>
4) allow creating sub-categories.<br>
<br>
As for top-level categories, I'd like to see something like<br>
<br>
archivers<br>
closed # closed source components<br>
databases<br>
devel # development tools and libraries<br>
desktop-environments # gnome, enlightenment\<br>
deskutils<br>
encumbered<br>
fonts<br>
games<br>
graphics<br>
lang # languages and language modules<br>
inputmethod<br>
meta-packages<br>
multimedia<br>
openindiana # illumos and OI-specific software<br>
scientific<br>
shells<br>
sysutils<br>
textproc<br>
www<br>
x11<br>
<br>
<br>
What do you think?<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed.<br></div><div>For some categories the FMRI gives already a prefix that could be used as directory name e.g. 'devel' -> 'developer', 'archivers' -> 'archiver' (without appended 's'), 'textproc' -> 'text', we also have 'network' and some other categories.<br></div><div>Even if is not 1:1 maybe we should avoid creating new labels when existing can be used, regardless of how much we like them, and ensure some kind of consistency.<br><br></div><div>Do you want subcategories in x11 as well to follow upstream ?<br></div><div>The 'fonts' directory will exist in x11 as well since ttf fonts are delivered, should it be moved therein ?<br></div><div><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span><font color="#888888">
