And so is vim, which is used as editor, by devs. |

My initial reading of the posted line "categories are foo[-]bar" |
| 10 |
reminded me of some discussion with archlinux enthusiasts which find |
| 11 |
them stupid. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
It all boils down to: Do we want categories or not? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Categories are nasty, I always fail on `emerge -av1 screen` which |
| 16 |
resolves to app-misc/screen and app-vim/screen. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Besides the limitation, categorization creates structure, |
| 19 |
Does it belong to gnome or kde? is it an x11 app? is it an application |
| 20 |
or just an library? and so on .. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
We have a fixed number of exact 2 tags (foo and bar), |
| 23 |
This limitation has proven it's usability in the past of Gentoo, but |
| 24 |
there are reasons to break it up (Like making up funny points like regex |
| 25 |
and it has always been this way). foo-bar-baz might be usefull, too. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But it's plain redundacy to in insist on *qt*/qt-*. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Either reject using an appropriate category and place it |
| 30 |
as misc-randoom/qt-* or use a category and strip the "qt-" prefix. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'm fine with qt/core, my preference would be lib-qt/core or lib/qt-core. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But please don't double the qt. |
