IMHO a virtual language category would be inconsistent. Either there are enough ports for an own category ( the minimum seems to be 8) or we should wait until there are enough ports. >> My original PR ports/67531 is quite outdated and now suspended. > > Yup, the port shouldn't add `spanish' as the first category.

Which category was created because "there are not enough ports to justify the creation on a subdirectory"? > As far as I can see, a virtual category would be the best solution. The main reason for the language categories was the ability to make it easy to specify the languages a user is interested in in his ports-supfile. This doesn't work with virtual categories. regards tilman
