Whilst I don't think there is anything specified in PMS/devmanual .. find me another category without X-Y pattern? I'm not sure about portage internals, but there could be some exploiting of the fact this is 'normally' the case ..On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 7:05 PM, M. J. Everitt <m.j.everitt@iee.org> wrote:

Maybe we can shoot for "app-print" .. its not really a system package
any more than a networking one, nor a (multi-)media package per-se (cue
bikeshed on what 'media' means) .. so perhaps just 'app-print' or
'app-printing' .. I dunno ..
There is no requirement for category names to be x-y. Instead of forcing a prefix-suffix pattern that doesn't really fit, just call it "printing".
