I'd been always against the current classification. It's a bit |
| 16 |
confusing to me (it's just my -very subjective- view, of course). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I'd gladly remove the "media-" thing as a whole, and do something like: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
gfx-viewers |
| 21 |
gfx-editors |
| 22 |
gfx-plugins |
| 23 |
gfx-libs |
| 24 |
sound-players (and maybe sound-radio) |
| 25 |
sound-editors |
| 26 |
sound-plugins |
| 27 |
sound-libs |
| 28 |
video-players (and, maybe, only maybe video-tv) |
| 29 |
video-editors |
| 30 |
video-plugins |
| 31 |
video-libs |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Then move fonts elsewhere or just leave them as they are. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
This is just a big picture though. I don't know if the degree of |
| 36 |
granularity that you get with (i.e.) sdl can be achieved with other |
| 37 |
libs, so some libs might fit into all of gfx-libs, sound-libs and |
| 38 |
video-libs. |
| 39 |
|

Just my random thought, as a mere long-time gentoo user. |
