Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
(I was redirected from gentoo-doc@ to ask this here.) |
4 |
|
5 |
I think it's a good idea to expand the categories' descriptions (found |
6 |
in the corresponding metadata.xml files) with more accurate descriptions |
7 |
of which packages are welcome to fit in which categories. |
8 |
|
9 |
The current descriptions are very vague and aren't probably in the best |
10 |
shape to bring users' a good idea what certain category is about and |
11 |
what packages are to be found there. |
12 |
|
13 |
This can also be an issue for (new) ebuild-writers (either |
14 |
user-contributed ebuilds or just gentoo developers that are not sure |
15 |
about it either). |
16 |
|
17 |
This is of course checked by a gentoo developer if new ebuilds are to be |
18 |
submitted via the bugzilla, but I still think we should provide a better |
19 |
understanding of the categories. |
20 |
|
21 |
If expanding the metadata.xml files does not seem a good idea, we should |
22 |
at least make a little bit more comprehensive description somewhere in |
23 |
the gentoo.org/doc/ or wiki.gentoo.org pages. |
24 |
|
25 |
What do you think about it? |
26 |
