The number of Java related ports aren't that many. * If C/C++ had its own categor first, then I could understand it. There Oh, you meant "C/C++ has more ports than Java"? That I can understand. From your comment above I thought you meant you were against it unless we split up lang into every programming language out there (collecting the really minor ones into misc-lang). Sure, we can split up C/C++ too, although I'm not sure what would be the right category name for that. (There are some C specific, some C++ specific, and "C/C++" is not a valid directory name in Unix. :) If someone wants to dive into devel+lang and find all the C/C++ ports, I'll be very appreciative (I can't do that with a simple "grep" this time... ;). -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
