What does a "linux ports category" have anything to do with this port's Makefile? I assume you meant "if we had some linux library ports" (in addition to linux_base and stuff), in case I certainly agree. * I was thinking about this yesterday as well. I was also thinking of * possibly prepending linux ports with `lnx-' or something to show that * this is the linux version of port xyz. Well, many of them already have "linux-" (for applications) and "linux_" (for infrastructure/support ports). We can make that a standard practice, as the "linux-" prefix is mostly used only when there is a corresponding FreeBSD version. As for the "linux" virtual category, I can add that to bsd.port.mk if people want it.
