Here's a couple of ways in which these tags could be used: Use case: Enrico is looking for a C library for date manipulation that he can use in his DB-ALLe project. Now: Enrico runs debtags search 'devel::library && devel::lang:c' then he sees if there is some that does what he wants. After the proposal: Enrico runs debtags search 'devel::library && code::c' then he is puzzled at why python2.3-opengl is there. Use case: Enrico didn't quite get how to do GTK programming with Perl and would like to see code examples. Now: Enrico runs debtags search 'uitoolkit::gtk && made-of::lang:perl' then has a look at the source code of some of them. After the proposal: Enrico runs debtags search 'uitoolkit::gtk && code::perl' then wonders why there is no perl gtk code in glade So, I don't want this merge because I think that the two groups of tags serve two distinct uses. > PS: You may have noticed that i did a biggish description cleanup, so if i > broke something please step up. Thanks for the cleanup! It's great to finally have an application that shows tags by description instead of by name. Finally the descriptions make sense into the context into a real interface. It's a big step! Hooray! Ciao, Enrico Note: reading this thread was difficult and unpleasant for me. I beg to keep the discussion short and clear, and if possible focused on precise examples. -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
