First, thanks for getting this stuff into the tree; I just synced, and it's all very nice.

Or is it just Xfce that seems to be less consistent with other categories. Aside from these recent actions, lxde categories seem like a good idea, same as for all our other desktops. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

But I think with just 14 packages an lxde-base makes the most sense indeed, with upstream probably not having them categorized themselves like GNOME has. -- Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

[gentoo-dev] RFC: Adding lxde-base category
Hi, I would like to add a new category to the tree: lxde-base, to be used for the LXDE desktop [1,2] packages, in correspondence to the categories for the other desktop environments we have (gnome, kde, xfce). With the help of a few users I have been developing ebuilds for these packages in the lxde overlay [3], and I would like to move the ebuilds for the release versions into the official tree now. (The overlay also contains live svn ebuilds.) LXDE currently has 14 packages that would go into this new category, which is comparable to what xfce-base has. It also uses x11-wm/openbox as default WM, and x11-misc/pcmanfm as default filemanager, although these can be easily swapped for others.
