They belongs in net plain and simple. There is no rule about listing security as a second category. In addition, IMHO the rule you are quoting here should be a guideline and not hard. I'm not sure everyone agrees fully with the statement you are quoting. > socks5/Makefile:CATEGORIES= net security I initially imported a socks4 into security and met with strong resistance on the category. I was told I was thinking shallowly by thinking Socks is only for security. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
