From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org What do people think about the following new categories? deskutils x11-fms (file managers) x11-wms (window managers) x11-widgets X clocks go to "deskutils". These are real categories, so they involve repository copying ports around. Here's part of the mail that I sent out a while ago. Satoshi (No, I'm not going to create a new category for minesweepers :) ------- Actually, other than the "window managers" category that everybody seems to agree about, there are a few more that could be separated from "x11" or "misc". How about widget sets (Xaw3d, neXtaw, lesstif, xview-lib, tk[0-9]*, etc.) desktop utilities (clocks, postit, etc.) The latter is for electronic versions of things traditionally found on top of a desk for office work (in other words, it doesn't include bobbling head dolls or framed pictures). For the names, I think the "window managers" and "widget sets" should have a "x11-" prefix so people won't just go into "x11" and wonder why they aren't there. Maybe "x11-wm" ("x11-wms"?) and "x11-widgets"? Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
