Okay. Thanks Frank.


Brian,

I'd like to only do this once more, so can I ask you to
spell out, what packages you'd like moved to these
three new sub-categories please.

Probably the simplest way to do this is to start from:

http://cr.opensolaris.org/~richb/pkg-5196-v3/raw_files/new/src/gui/data/opensolaris.org

and give me the list of:

package name / new-category

for the ones that need to be moved.

I'll then adjust the equivalent code in my pkg source workspace,
and generate a new webrev and put it out for (hopefully) final
review.


Thanks.
