6 If you wanted, you could do something like x11-drivers/ do , and have
7 a standard of adding a little subcategorization:
8
9 sys-firmware/video-ati
10
11 Or something of that sort. You'd be having to sacrifice downstream
12 package name not being identical to upstream though. But Lots of the
13 ones I see listed could be generalised like that.
14
15 See, translate this into the new scheme:
16
17 media-sound/alsa-firmware
18 media-tv/cx18-firmware
19 media-tv/ivtv-firmware
20 media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware
21 media-video/isight-firmware-tools
22 net-dialup/isdn-firmware
23 net-wireless/acx-firmware
24 net-wireless/ar9271-firmware
25 net-wireless/atmel-firmware
26 net-wireless/b43-firmware
27 net-wireless/bluez-firmware
28 net-wireless/ipw2100-firmware
29 net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware
30 net-wireless/libertas-firmware
31 net-wireless/linux-wlan-ng-firmware
32 net-wireless/prism54-firmware
33 net-wireless/rt2860-firmware
34 net-wireless/rt2870-firmware
35
36 sys-firmware/sound-alsa
37 sys-firmware/tv-cx18
38 sys-firmware/tv-ivtv
39 sys-firmware/tv-linuxtv-dvb
40 sys-firmware/video-isight-tools
41 sys-firmware/dialup-isdn
42 sys-firmware/wireless-acx
43 sys-firmware/wireless-ar927

45 ... etc.
