Greetings!
I have just submitted a pull request adding a new category "fs"
for file systems and file system utilities to the ports collection.
See Github for the full patch set:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/pull/302
If desired, I can submit this as a DR or PR as well.
The new category is populated with some 126 ports (that's more than
x11-clocks!) that look like they might be file-system related.
I was motivated to add this new category when I noticed that many
FUSE file systems were shipped as ports named sysutils/fusefs-$foo,
making sysutils/fusefs- a pseudo-category for FUSE filesystems.
If that's the (anti) pattern, why not make it offical and add a
true category for file system ports? Turns out there are a lot more
than one might think.
I hope that with this move, we can reduce the load on devel and
sysutils (the two most popular misspellings of misc) and make
file-system related ports easier to find.
For a full list of affected ports, see the list of commits attached
to the pull request. If you would like to not have your port moved
to fs, please comment or send me an email.
I would like to kindly ask portmgr to discuss adding the new category
and give approval for me to do so.
Yours,
Robert Clausecker
