Achim, I agree with everything you said except for one thing... I think we should keep the sys-categories, but they should be like any other category. There's a definite need for sys-apps, sys-kernel and sys-libs; however, sys-devel can disappear with no problem. sys-apps: "system applications and tools (hardware/network configuration, etc.)" sys-kernel: kernels sys-libs: essential (or nearly essential) libraries. glibc would go here, as would readline, as I don't see another good place for it. -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
