It depends. Not all ports written in the same scripting language necessarily belong to the language's category. Carrying it to extremes would make the category too much bloated and useless. I'd rather keep finished products separated from a toolbox and materials when the products no longer need to be extended with them. > After all, we put some things into x11 category just because they are > using x11 protocol (for example xterm, which essentually is a terminal > emulator, and as such belongs to sysutils or misc) but nobody disagre > with this. Please read the Porters' Handbook again.. "misc" is the category for the ports which do not belong to any other non-virtual categories excluding lang-specific categories, and "sysutils" is the category for "system utilities". XTerm is "X Terminal", thus it would definitely belong to "x11" together with rxvt and eterm, _only if_ it existed. Nobody complains about a non-existent port. ;) > Maybe it is better to introduce some more fine-grained language specific > virtual categories, i.e. {p5, py, ruby}-apps, {p5, py, ruby}-modules and > so on. I think most users would care less as to what language an app is written in, so long as it's not strongly bound to a specific language. -- / /__ __ Akinori.org / MUSHA.org / ) ) ) ) / FreeBSD.org / Ruby-lang.org Akinori MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( @ iDaemons.org / and.or.jp "We're only at home when we're on the run, on the wing, on the fly" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
