While we are at it, may I propose to split some categories off the overly large devel category? Here are some ideas: - src-mgmt for version control programs, diff tools, and similar - debuggers for gdb, lldb, strace, valgrind, ... - analysis for program and binary analysis and static verification tools - codegen for code generators like flex and bison (might conflict with lang) - build for build systems like cmake, mk, autoconf, ... - lib for misc libraries currently under devel - toolchain for binutils, gcc and llvm ports as well as other compilers/linkers that do not fit into lang I am willing to to make a more detailed proposal including a complete list of current ports to sort into each of these if there is general interest.
