Achim, I agree with everything you said except for one thing... I think |
| 16 |
we should keep the sys-categories, but they should be like any other |
| 17 |
category. There's a definite need for sys-apps, sys-kernel and sys-libs; |
| 18 |
however, sys-devel can disappear with no problem. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
sys-apps: "system applications and tools (hardware/network configuration, etc.)" |
| 21 |
sys-kernel: kernels |
| 22 |
sys-libs: essential (or nearly essential) libraries. glibc would go here, as |
| 23 |
would readline, as I don't see another good place for it. |
