All,
Has there been some talk as to subcategory implementations in
portage? I'm going to assume that it could be done (with speed
sacrifice of course), but it would be well beneficial in an ever
expanding tree. As more and more new ebuilds flow in everyday, sooner
or later categories are split. This would be somewhat of a time saving
effort for the result, but its creation would be a little consuming. I
wouldn't mind trying to look over the creation of such an implementation
(I won't of course be fully active on that until the end of this
semester feh :( ). Here's somewhat of an idea:
media-sound: ok, I'm working on organizing this because it needs to be.
So let's see... wc says!:
chris@secures /usr/local/portage/gentoo-x86/media-sound $ ls -1 | wc
275 275 2349
That's right... 257 nice packages which might actually be installed if
users knew what they were :). Something like this might be a little nicer:
media-sound/editors/audacity
media-sound/players/xmms
now let's say players gets way to huge:
media-sound/players/mp3/
media-sound/players/ogg/
etc. While this may be somewhat of a strange example. I think it
somewhat the organizational need the tree will require at some point.
This is just an idea of a good way to organize this stuff. If there's
something I'm just not seeing, feel free to slap me with a wet trout and
suggest something better. This should be looked at though. Thanks to
everyone's patience in dealing with me as always :).
