Re: [gentoo-dev] Help with category for Authenticator
Thank you, guys I actually like Andrew's suggestion for sys-auth. I am still relatively new to gentoo, so when I was skipping through all the categories it just didn't sound like even a possible match to me. But its description definitely sounds very close to Authenticator. I guess I was scared off by the sys- prefix :) Alex.

Also, if somebody wants to > suggest yet another category, speak up! I suggest the system-auth category. Why? It is always good to look where similar applications belong. Authenticator is basicall 2FA/OATH GUI, and oath-toolkit is in system-auth, most yubikey stuff is there as well. And now look in sys-auth/metadata.xml: The sys-auth category contains applications and libraries to support authentication and authorization facilities. Here belongs PAM modules, NSS modules and login apps. Authenticator fits here perfectly as an application to support authentication and authorization facilities.

gnome-extra is for things maintained by gnome, right?
app-crypt is more accurate than net-${anything}

[gentoo-dev] Help with category for Authenticator
Hello, guys! I tried asking this question in #gentoo-proxy-maint IRC and I was told I should venture for gentoo-dev mailing list. So I introduced a new package into Gentoo, Authenticator (https://github.com/bilelmoussaoui/Authenticator). I placed it under gnome-extra. However, shortly after the commit, gnome-extra guy said it does not belong there and I am supposed it to move somewhere else. There is a bug that touches this subject https://bugs.gentoo.org/663820. I currently consider to move it to app-crypt. Some folks also suggested net-misc as a reasonable destination. I wonder if I could contact "maintainers" so to say of those categories to make sure they are willing to accept authenticator within their category. What's the best way to handle this situation? Also, if somebody wants to suggest yet another category, speak up! Thank you! Alex.
