Hello, I personally think that categories like french, japanese, arabic, etc... are not the best way to write a language dependant port. Now, there is no many languages categories in the ports tree but we can plan that in the future more directories for the new future languages dependant port can be added. Example : if someone write a new aspell language that is not in the ports tree, we must create a new directory in the ports tree ports/. For example: there is no ports/italian directory now, will you create a new italian directory if we must add aspell for italian? (no it's in textproc/it-aspell and it's confusing) I think we must remove all these languages directories and just keep it simple and simple like all the textproc/*-aspell. The best way to separate ports to language dependant port is just prefixing the port with the good language such as : fr-kde4-l10n fr-aspell de-ispell and so on. It's so easier to maintain and so much cleaner ! I hope you will agree with me. With kind regards. -- Demelier David
