* OK, I understand we can't do this too soon, but could we please put it on * the TODO list ? Don't forget that the no. of ports will increase with the * time, and this will bloat these top-level categories; breaking them in * sub-categories might be a good choice, don't you think ? Yes of course. It will be done at some point. But as I said, it's much easier to go to three levels all at once, and for that to work, we need a reasonable number of ports in most second levels first. * I think if we change the style for these x-11* categories then we * should/must change the style for the rest of the top-level categories too! * It won't look good to have net/comms/devel/... combined with * "x11-windowmanagers" , "x11-filemanagers", etc. Like the precedent case, * we should change the naming style for all of them and not just some of * them... Hmm. That's an interesting thought. I'm not sure what to rename "comms" and "devel" though. (And "sysutils" and "textproc" will be entirely too long if we rename it.... ;) Maybe we should keep them terse to be consistent with others. How do people look at the categories? sysinstall has COMMENT right next to them so I don't think being terse is a problem there. Maybe we should fix the ports web page to include that too. And I would think the rest of us (developers) will get used to it very quickly. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
