 so can u guys please come back to the review of the ports for the categorie
 move?

It would still be nice to know, what you think this move will improve.
Because it will fuck over people who have for example the following in
their make.conf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache2*}
WITH_APR_FROM_PORTS=true
WITH_LDAP=true
WITH_AUTHNZ_LDAP=true
.endif

Let alone people who have used the OPTIONS framework and saved their
settings to /var/db/ports/.

So, again, what is gained by that move and how does it offset those
people's inconvenience?

I would have thought that the only structure that won't result in

So something like:

All/o/opera

you can then build category based directories with symlinks to the main

the port reports that it is in, but these directories are really just

I agree with that but wouldn't it be great if there was something in place 
that would be extensible beyond a few thousand ports without having to 
think about what the contents of that directory would be ?


If we stopped imposing upon the names of projects like Perl with p5- or 
python with py- and put them in their respective alphabetic category ?


If you already knew what you were looking for and you knew the structure 
then their is no need to search ( cd /usr/ports/pool/A-Z/portname ).


A few thoughts I had to go along with this the other day when I mentioned 
it in ##freebsd before it was brought up here, but laced out in a tree 
format where I can better visually explain it than put it in words as a 
rough draft.


I envision the tag-files directory below as a community effort of the 
Wikipedia kind that would lift the effort off of the committer's backs and 
promote more of an open involvement as a whole to edit them. This is where 
I seen the use of a DVCS like Mercurial come into play because if you 
divide it up the tree properly into separate repo's then cloning and 
distribution and community involvement of those repo's becomes a benefit. A 
referral access system along with key access, (*).

Just some cents for the mail-bank. It works as it is now, if you are happy 
running through every once in a while and re-categorizing things and 
re-judging whether something is supposed to or should be in a category 
then sobeit, ultimately it doesn't stop the software from working on the 
other end and the work is still very much appreciated either way.

Looks good. I was going to create one, myself, but didn't have time to
investigate if other categories were introduced, or removed that require
adjustment. I took a look though against /usr/ports and compared the
categories, and there is nothing that requires any changes from the category
naming point-of-view. I only looked at actual categories, though, and
didn't compare meta-categories.

1) The system installer installs the package that contains the latest

2) Have a stub program in the base whose only purpose is to download and 
install the latest version of the pkg_* tools.


The benefits of this are that we can introduce new features to the pkg_* 
tools very quickly, rather than with a 3 year (or more) lead time like 
we do now.

Where do you see the dividing line between web apps on one hand and on
the other hand http servers ... everything related to apache?  IOW,
how do I decide if I put a new port into www-webapps or into  
www-servers

for its primary category?



Basically, everything that serves network is server and everything
that generates pages on these servers is webapp.


So: why is p5-Mojolicious in webapp, it serves network (main  
deployment).

And it's a client too...


Not just p5-Mojolicious. Many webapps can be web servers, like Flask.
Even some unrelated packages can be www servers, like python, with
SimpleHTTPServer. And some www-clients can also be www-servers. For
example, opera. It's a client, server, email client, HTML-editor. You
can't just *separate* things into clients, servers, apps, and misc.


I would say that although it is correct to say that something like Opera
is all of those things you should think about the main way in which the
application is perceived.

If I was looking for the Opera port, I'd look in www-clients and if it  
wasn't
in there then the next thing that I would be doing is hand searching the  
INDEX

file, because I'd have no idea where else it might be.

I shouldn't need to know its full in depth feature set just so that I can  
find it

to install it.



And also, during the development of the HTML5, there will be more and
more www-client ports can be used as servers, by using web socket. The
border of clients and servers will become fuzzy. We should not used a
C/S model to sort these ports.

That's why I suggest that to create a www-devel branch - you can
determined what a software is mainly designed for, but you can not
always determined what a software can be used as.

Who said anything about building an INDEX? :)  If you use portsnap to

Will it take care of my INDEX-9 file for FreeBSD 9-CURRENT with the

I'm not sure (no irony, really asking), because portsnap update -I

distributed on the portsnap servers.

 Who said anything about building an INDEX? :)  If you use portsnap to update
 your ports tree it comes along for free. If not, then 'make fetchindex' will
 do the trick for you.

 Will it take care of my INDEX-9 file for FreeBSD 9-CURRENT with the
 following setting I just appended to /etc/portsnap.conf ?
 # tail -n 1 /etc/portsnap.conf
 INDEX INDEX-9 DESCRIBE.9

I've got my answer, now that there's a new snapshot on portsnap servers.
# portsnap fetch update
[...]
Building new INDEX files... DESCRIBE.9 not provided by portsnap
server; INDEX-9 not being generated.

 I'm not sure (no irony, really asking), because portsnap update -I
 does not modify /usr/ports/INDEX-9. Maybe DESCRIBE.9 is not
 distributed on the portsnap servers.

 Basically, everything that serves network is server and everything

 So: why is p5-Mojolicious in webapp, it serves network (main deployment).
 And it's a client too...

Not just p5-Mojolicious. Many webapps can be web servers, like Flask.
Even some unrelated packages can be www servers, like python, with
SimpleHTTPServer. And some www-clients can also be www-servers. For
example, opera. It's a client, server, email client, HTML-editor. You
can't just *separate* things into clients, servers, apps, and misc.

And also, during the development of the HTML5, there will be more and
more www-client ports can be used as servers, by using web socket. The
border of clients and servers will become fuzzy. We should not used a
C/S model to sort these ports.

That's why I suggest that to create a www-devel branch - you can
determined what a software is mainly designed for, but you can not
always determined what a software can be used as.

 Hey,

 as the Ports Collection continue to grow, we have decided to
 do some changes to the category layout. The www category, second
 largest with over 2000 individual ports, will have three subcategories
 spinned out. On the other side, x11-servers category, with only
 10 ports, will be folded into regular x11 category.

 Attached is a proposed list of ports being moved from the www category.
 Please review, discuss and report ommissions and mistakes. The general
 key to the new categories is as follows:

 www-clients - browsers, rss clients, wget-alike, webapi/soap clients,

 www-servers - http servers, proxy servers, everything related to apache
 www-webapps - web apps, frameworks, libraries

My own view is that naming the categories by language (e.g. java)
is not a good idea.  I'd rather divide things up by what they do,
rather than what they're written in.

Is that not partially why we have the virtual categories to provide language
divisions (not to mention port name prefixes)?  I think were devel to be
split 'broad' functionality would be the best and most useful (although
harder to do than language) way of splitting things down.

Shouldn't we move html editors to ports/editors?

IMHO html editors should go into the editors/ category.

While we are on the subject of moving things around I'd like to see
x11/ split out into their appropriate categories. Things like
x11/xeyes should go into games/  and x11/xscreensaver into security/

The general x11/ category could be used for infrastructure and servers
(the libs and the current -servers category)

I tend to agree with Eitan here.

I mean world wide web-webapps sounds kind of redundant.

www-devel may be preferred, since www-webapps contains the web frameworks, libs.
or may be devel-www :)

Good idea or bad idea, it doesn't really matter.  I actually kind of
like it.  More importantly, you'll need to update Mk/bsd.apache.mk
regarding APACHE_PORT.  And every end-user will need to update
/etc/make.conf to reflect this too.

If might be useful to coordinate this with the default switch from 1.3
to 2.2 b/c then supposedly most people who are using 2.2 can simply
remove then line.  And the fewer, still needing 1.3 will need to add one
anyway.


Food to chew on..

How did you generate this list ?
  - Did you set WITH_APACHE and build and INDEX and use that ?
  - grep Makefile(s)
  - Use Default INDEX ?
  - Other ?
