app -> what if it's library alternatives?
Maybe split to "app-" and "lib-" then? Also, what about "-alt"? So "app-alt" and "lib-alt". On 11/24/22 03:05, Ionen Wolkens wrote:

UlrichSince these packages manage symlinks, make it app-symlink?Mentioned this in another post, but this is limiting what would make sense to be in there further. app -> what if it's library alternatives? symlink -> what if we need to use wrappers or some other solution? Not that we ever really match categories perfectly either way, but may as well stay generic rather than mismatch or create multiple sub-types. Some random ideas I had were 'alternatives', 'meta', 'select' 'select-meta', not that I thought much about it. 'meta' would essentially be like an entirely generic 'virtual' but just without PMS restrictions. While the ones with alternatives or select are more descriptive of what it's for without saying anything about how we're doing it or for what type of package.
