[gentoo-dev] new category - policies

[Joshua Brindle]

we need a category to keep security policies organized, 
this should be a generic category so that any security 
implementation can use the category to store policies, 
for now it'll be used for selinux and will have 20-30 policies 
for selinux, and at least that many for any other security 
implementation that gets put there. 

category name suggestion is security-policies
any other suggestions (esp shorter ones) are welcome

if there are no problems with this i'll create it early next week,
thanks

I think sec-policy would be a bit more descriptive, yet still short
enough to work easily.  Comments?

Maybe sec-policies.  "sec" is a well-recognized abbreviation for
security, but I don't think "pol" is well-recognized.  Besides,
"sec-policies" is 12 characters, which is 2 characters shorter than the
longest existing category (app-benchmarks).

cd /usr/portage
/bin/ls -1d *-* | perl -ne 'print length($_)-1, "\t$_"' | sort -n | tail -5

12      net-wireless
13      app-emulation
13      media-plugins
14      app-benchmarks
16      current-packages (not a category)
