6 More suggestions.
7
8 These interact with hardware
9 clrngd -> sys-hardware (it's related to rng-tools)
10 coldplug -> sys-hardware (related to hotplug)
11
12 All of the following are usable as text editors.
13 less -> app-editors (I consider it a read-only editor)
14 ed -> app-editors (You can use it on a serial terminal nicely)
15 sed -> app-editors
16
17 These all deal with file-system data in specific ways.
18 acl -> sys-fs (filesystem ACLs)
19 attr -> sys-fs (filesystem extended attributes)
20 dmapi -> sys-fs (XFS specific stuff)
21 dnotify -> sys-fs (detect changes in filesystem, maybe sys-misc)
22
23 All of these handle processes.
24 runit -> sys-process
25 minit -> sys-process
26 daemontools* -> sys-process
27 supervise-scripts -> sys-process
28 (maybe sysvinit too)
29
30 linux32 -> app-emulation (or maybe sys-devel with mips32/sparc32)
31 cracklib-words -> app-dicts (this is where all other wordlists are)
32
33 The following are not core packages.
34 gcloop -> sys-block (loops mounted as block devices)
35 subterfugue -> dev-util (strace is there)
36 tcng -> net-misc (it's an extension of iproute2)
37 ucspi-* -> net-misc (network interaction)
38 showconsole -> app-admin (with the rest of the syslog stuff)
39 tic98 -> media-gfx (it compresses images, similar to pngcrush)
40 biosdisk -> sys-hardware (similar to memtest86)
41 tmpreaper -> sys-misc
42 dchroot -> sys-misc
43
