I would have expected app-text, the current home of the other TeX |
21 |
interpreters, to be more appropriate than dev-tex. Then again, with 79 |
22 |
new ebuilds, it might be prudent to open another category. If you did |
23 |
that, though, I'd suggest putting texlive and the other TeX interpreters |
24 |
in the same category. Perhaps app-tex would be good. Would that cause |
25 |
much confusion, being one letter off from an existing category? |

On the other hand (or is this back on the first hand?), 79 new packages |
28 |
wouldn't be much of a splash in the 231 existing packages of app-text. |
