Hello everyone, with pkg 1.18, it is easier to add new catagories which and reduce the impact in people as we can query all the categories virtual or not. Now that this is done, I would like to add the following new categories. Not that I want to address the current isssue here which is the desktop world on FreeBSD is not anymore a x11 only world, and the categories do not reflect that reality anymore. Virtual: - wayland Non Virtual: - ui-toolkits (all UI toolkits should be moved here) - desktop (all wayland compositors, all apps desktop oriented which does not fit in any other catagories). - desktop-libs (all libraries not ui-toolkit which are necessary for the desktops) - fonts (fonts and related libraries) For all the x11 related ports which will be moved there will they will keep a x11* virtual category to it is still queryable that way if it makes sence For example if we move libinput from x11/libinput to desktop/libinput then the CATEGORIES= x11 will become CATEGORIES= desktop-libs x11 meaning: pkg info desktop-libs/libinput will match the same package as x11/libinput Best regards, Bapt
