Ok, continuing my attempt to get myself off the base-system alias (and |
| 2 |
hence getting a significat reduction in my daily spam and uninterested |
| 3 |
bug emails quota), and following on from foser's suggestion on an |
| 4 |
earlier thread... How about a shell-tools herd? This won't cover shells |
| 5 |
themselves, but rather tools that're used from within a shell |
| 6 |
environment that don't particularly fit in anywhere else. A not even |
| 7 |
slightly complete list of possible packages which are candidates (most |
| 8 |
of these are no-herd, some are base-system): |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
app-misc/bfr |
| 11 |
app-misc/color |
| 12 |
app-misc/hilite |
| 13 |
app-misc/mtail |
| 14 |
app-misc/screen |
| 15 |
app-shells/bash-completion |
| 16 |
app-text/glark |
| 17 |
dev-util/txt2regex |
| 18 |
dev-util/visual-regexp |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
There's a load of other stuff in app-misc, app-text and dev-util as |
| 21 |
well that would probably belong. You get the idea :) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Maintainer-wise, myself, Ka0ttic, kloeri, slarti`, swegener and taviso |
| 24 |
have already expressed an interest, and I'm also kinda thinking about |
| 25 |
recruiting someone who I know knows a lot about this area... |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
(If anyone on base-system thinks I'm trying to steal too much from them, |
| 28 |
please scream.) |
