Yes and no. tags would definitely be better than subcategories. But for some packages a new category would probably still make sense like app-scm ( http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg27404.html). > You could play with adding them into metadata.xml and patching some > existing search tools to search for them. Added to my TODO list. Extending existing search tool would only be a first step however. The ability to exclude/include packages from the tree would also be a useful feature (and that doesn't seam to fit the design of the tools I have used). > I'm all for the idea of tags, > and I think it's a better approach than categories. Thinking about it again I would say tags and categories just fulfill different purposes. Tags can not replace categories but might be a useful extension to categories for the tasks I described, not more not less. They are not better or worse, just different:) -- Jonas -- [email protected] mailing list
