Are you sure that turning category into a magical setting is the best = way to go? Category has never been magical before, and it sets a whole = new precedent (until now, "Why aren't my distfiles showing up where I = expect?" has never been answered with "CATEGORY"). Wouldn't something like USES=3D kde:dist-kde4 be a more predictable way of doing this? USES enables magic. CATEGORY sets the category. Do we really want to = change that? # Adam --=20 Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
