By and large it's reasonably clear what they are for, but an official statement would be good, and would clear up those borderline cases where it's genuinely not clear what category to use. (Example: a day or two ago I reported that /stand/sysinstall has some wrong URLs hard-coded into it. Should this have been "bin" (it's a program), "conf" (it's a configuration error), or "misc"?) Actually, I'm not at all sure what "conf" means. Specifically, I don't know whether it means "problem with the way something is configured", or "problem with something used for configuration"? Or perhaps neither of these? Possibly the Right Thing to do is to modify send-pr so that it can take some sort of brief explanations in its category list and present them to the user, in which case this isn't a FreeBSD problem. Anyway, one way or another I think the purposes of the available categories should be documented. >How-To-Repeat: % send-pr >Fix: I'm not sure. Perhaps an entry in the Handbook. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
