We currently provide an eclass and ebuilds arranged by top level categories following upstream categorization. Explicitly gpe.eclass and top level gpe-base gpe-net gpe-pim gpe-games gpe-utils gpe-media gpe-xsession. We know we have a lot of them but upstream finds useful to classify them like that and so do we. With the running discussion at -dev about new top level categorization models and tagging system, maybe a better solution is found. The eclass and some ebuilds were based on bugzie #101393. We started playing with them as big flat gpe-base category which evolved over time by means of consecutive testing on ARMv5 handheld devices and needs. Since we are maintaining this over half a year now, we think that its time to finally starting moving step-by-step the GPE suite into the portage tree - starting with the eclass and toplevel categories. Sincerely, /me in the name of the embedded team. -- Angelo Arrifano Gentoo Linux ARM/OMAP850 Developer at Gentoo Embedded
