Or in turn that everything * you need to get a Linux binary to work should be in emulators/ * * Whereas things in graphics/ should be those you install to do * something with them directly, i.e. by writing a program that needs * libraries. This is not usually the case for the Linux libs, especially * now that you can have FreeBSD binaries using Glide. * * I apologize if that has just been discussed, I don't follow the ports * mailing list. No need to apologize, but it doesn't really make any difference whether something is a library or an application. I was looking for linux-mesa in graphics because I knew mesa was there, and I ended up doing a grep in INDEX to find it in emulators. A and linux_A should generally be in the same category.
