So, one would probably look for "DVD > backup tool" under multimedia/dvd<something> (`sysutils' looks > less intuitive to me as well). Hmmmm... We can read the following in the porter's handbook : "Ports that install files under PYTHON_SITELIBDIR should use the pyXY- package name prefix, so their package name embeds the version of Python they are installed into." [1] For consistency, I've just named the port directory the same way. But you're right, this may be overkill (I originally named it python-dvdvideo before I changed my mind). Do you think it should be changed to, e.g. sysutils/dvdvideo (but, of course, keeping the pyXY- prefix for package name) ? Others, any comment on that ?
