I've been thinking today that we have a lot of things in sys-devel that |
| 2 |
shouldn't probably be there, like pmake and bmake. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I'd propose the following move, if nobody has arguments aginst those: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
sys-devel/bmake -> dev-util/bmake |
| 7 |
sys-devel/pmake -> dev-util/pmake |
| 8 |
sys-devel/bison -> dev-util/bison |
| 9 |
sys-devel/flex -> dev-util/flex |
| 10 |
sys-devel/autoconf-archive -> dev-util/autoconf-archive |
| 11 |
sys-devel/ac-archive -> dev-util/ac-archive |
| 12 |
sys-devel/cons -> dev-util/cons |
| 13 |
sys-devel/gdb -> dev-util/gdb |
| 14 |
sys-devel/omni -> dev-lang/omni |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Reasoning for the moves: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- bmake and pmake are additional make commands from the basic one, |
| 19 |
G/*BSD will have their own in -ubin or -bin, while the rest of the |
| 20 |
system uses GNU make as sys-devel/make; |
| 21 |
- bison and flex should get out of the system package set, what clearer |
| 22 |
than moving them out of sys-*? They are not so commonly used so there |
| 23 |
should no compelling reason to have them installed on every system; |
| 24 |
- autoconf-archive and ac-archive are not really something for your |
| 25 |
system; |
| 26 |
- cons is not commonly used as build system, so should probably be |
| 27 |
together with the other not-so-used build systems; |
| 28 |
- gdb is not part of the system, this might be a problem for |
| 29 |
crossdev...; |
| 30 |
- omni is ... well not something I'd look for in sys; plus it's a |
| 31 |
compiler so it would probably suite dev-lang better. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
There are a few I'm not sure of because I don't know the package at all, |
| 34 |
or because I have mixed feelings about them: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
sys-devel/remake -> dev-util/remake |
| 37 |
sys-devel/sparse -> dev-util/sparse |
| 38 |
sys-devel/distcc -> dev-util/distcc |
| 39 |
sys-devel/icecream -> dev-util/icecream |
| 40 |
sys-devel/m4 -> dev-lang/m4 |
| 41 |
sys-devel/patch -> app-text/patch |
| 42 |
sys-devel/prelink -> sys-apps/prelink (something else? It's not a devel |
| 43 |
package...) |
| 44 |
sys-devel/autogen -> dev-util/autogen |
| 45 |
sys-devel/dev86 -> dev-lang/dev86 |
| 46 |
sys-devel/bin86 -> dev-lang/bin86 |
| 47 |
sys-devel/gettext -> app-i18n/gettext (well, it's part of system for |
| 48 |
G/FBSD, but I'd rather have deps expressed properly...) |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Yes these are a lot of moves, sincerely I think sys-* categories are a |
| 51 |
bit bloated as they are, and I suppose we should start moving the things |
| 52 |
around rather than waiting forever ad ever.. |
