Hello!

Anthoine and I are working on some new ebuilds related to a 3D mouse at
the moment.  For two of these I wonder what package category makes a
good fit.  While I would save your time on such a simple thing, I would
like to avoid moving around things later, too.  I have inspected the
related metadata.xml files already.

Which categories do you advise for?

  spacenavd
    driver daemon (with optional X support)
      --> sys-apps/spacenavd ?
      --> app-misc/spacenavd ?
      --> .. ?

  libspnav
    library accessing before-mentioned daemon
      --> dev-libs/libspnav ?
      --> media-libs/libspnav ?
      --> sys-libs/libspnav ?
      --> .. ?

  spnavcfg
    X11/GTK GUI tool for configuration
      --> x11-misc/spnavcfg seems right

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Sebastian

I would suggest either sys-apps or x11-drivers.

dev-libs seems reasonable.

sys-libs definitely feels wrong, libspnav would look out of place in
that exclusive company of core system libraries.

Take a look at g15daemon (useful for some logitech keyboards).

There you have:

app-misc/g15daemon
dev-libs/libg15
