To be more specific, kde-base contains everything (and only) that is |
| 7 |
distributed as KDE stable release (no extragear included). And it causes |
| 8 |
confusion as when packages are dropped from KDE release schedule (so they |
| 9 |
usually go back to extragear to release when they want), one needs to look to |
| 10 |
new place for them (in kde-misc or somewhere else). |
| 11 |
Actually categories are bad idea imho. |
| 12 |
I was thinking, maybe it would be possible to drop categories completely in |
| 13 |
the future (maybe keeping symlinks for compatibility and to ease migration) |
| 14 |
and to put *all* packages in one directory - that would require making all |
| 15 |
names unique of course. |
| 16 |
"Categorization" could be provided for user/search tools as tag clouds being |
| 17 |
defined in metadata.xml as vector of tag:weight values where tag would be some |
| 18 |
word from defined dictionary (word like "mail" "client" "kde" "dns" or sth) |
| 19 |
and weight - real value [0,1] defining how relevant is that tag. |
| 20 |
For compatibility's sake symlinks could be provided, in.ex. sys-devel/gcc -> |
| 21 |
all/gcc. |
| 22 |
But that's just an off-topic. |
