Once again this topic rises from the ashes. :) Not counting the language categories (ko, ...), we should not create virtual categories with less than the smallest category we already have: namely mbone (15 ports). Unless, of course, there is a very special need for that, e.g., a new mainstream programming language. :) My 2 cents, Mario Ferreira To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
