Hi all
I'm going to add eid-viewer, which is software to view the contents of a
Belgian eID card (such as the person's picture, address details or
certificte information), to the Portage tree.
I think the most proper category is "app-misc", but considering this is
already a quite "full" category I'm open to suggestions what a better one
would be (if any).
There is a related package, called app-crypt/eid-mw, already in the tree
under the app-crypt category as it is middleware for interacting with the
card. However, unlike the middleware, the viewer doesn't seem to perform
anything cryptographic-related.
So - is app-misc ok?
Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen

app-misc is not full, it only has 313 as of Feb. 26, 2014
Unlike dev-python, 1000+, dev-perl 1200+
So, sounds good to me.
