Grimes" * > iozone, top, tua, xdu, xperfmon, xsysstats (currently in x11) * * Counter proposal (we need to start populating one of these anyway) * how about ports/benchmarks (the only one above that goes in there * would be iozone, but things like ttcp, bonnie, tcpblast could go in * there). That would be fine, maybe we can put in xbench too. But what about the others? * filesystems/{cpm, hfs, mtools} and emulation/{pcemu, wine} come to * mind. Wouldn't you rather have them together? I think they cater to the same audience, and I don't think there are enough of them to warrant two directories. * From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" * ports/system * ports/emulators "system" sounds a little too generic to me, but "sysutils" isn't that much better anyway so that's ok, I guess. And about "emulators"...well, this goes to Rod's proposal too, but xterm is an emulator too, and screen too, they just emulate different things. Isn't there a word that describes that these are emulators for the PC/Mac sort of things? Sorry for bitching, if nobody comes up with a better idea, I guess we'll go with "system" (my "sysutils" minus iozone) and "emulators". Creating "benchmarks" too is fine for me, all I need to do is to ask Rod to move iozone in the repository anyway. :) Satoshi
