Uh, end users get consistent and sensible categorising when stuff is properly categorised. It's not exactly consistent to have some foo packages in app-misc and some in app-foo now, is it? | Portage still can't get it right.

A few people having to rebuild a few binary packages now and again (and incidentally, it'd take you even less time to fix fixpackages) is far less of an issue than keeping an already way too huge tree slightly more manageable. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- [email protected] mailing list
