If you want us to review and test, feel free to ping when it is ready. |

+1 as this naming is consistent with other desktop environments. |

Consider if you really want all these packages there; some desktop |
| 21 |
environments get some packages in other categories, this is especially |
| 22 |
the case when these packages can be used on other desktop environments |
| 23 |
than the desktop environment itself. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This logically categorizing these packages according to their |
| 26 |
functionality (eg. a dev-util); which limits the desktop environment |
| 27 |
base effectively to the base of the desktop environment. |
| 28 |
|

For example, you can check out what GNOME and MATE do for instance: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
grep -rl --include=*.ebuild HOMEPAGE.*gnome.org /usr/portage/ | \ |
| 32 |
sed 's:/usr/portage/\(.*\)/.*.ebuild:\1:' | sort -u |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
grep -rl --include=*.ebuild HOMEPAGE.*mate-desktop /usr/portage/ | \ |
| 35 |
sed 's:/usr/portage/\(.*\)/.*.ebuild:\1:' | sort -u |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Another example, using metadata.xml; is to check out what KDE does: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
grep -rl --include=metadata.xml herd.*kde /usr/portage/ | \ |
| 40 |
sed 's:/usr/portage/\(.*\)/metadata.xml:\1:' | sort -u |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Also, here is XFCE; a bit less, but still some packages here and there: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
grep -rl --include=*.ebuild HOMEPAGE.*xfce /usr/portage/ | \ |
| 45 |
sed 's:/usr/portage/\(.*\)/.*.ebuild:\1:' | sort -u |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I'm not sure about other desktop environment; but I think that the |
| 48 |
general idea is to consider to use other categories when that would be |
| 49 |
more appropriate for a package in question, so, please consider it. |

Make sure to read the following two devmanual documentation pages: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/profiles/categories/ |
| 57 |
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/#category-metadata |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
In summary; first add the category alphabetically to profiles/categories |
| 60 |
and commit, then create the directory including a metadata.xml that is |
| 61 |
XML and GLEP 31 validated and commit, then add your packages to it. |
