As a matter of principle I would agree with you.

You can try not to use this script but to checkout the script
directory via anonymous cvs and make a `cvs update� from time to
time. This merges our changes into your changes.

Maybe this is better for you.

well, this is the problem: there are many good approaches. We, for
example, have adopted the gentoo-way:

app-arch
app-cdr
app-crypt
app-editors
app-misc
app-office
...
dev-db
dev-java
dev-misc
...
games
media-gfx
media-misc
...
net-dialup
net-dns
net-im
net-mail
net-misc
...
sci-misc
sys-apps
sys-driver
sys-os
sys-util

and so on.

But: how do we find the best way? How to agree on a specific way?

Definitely not!

But in my eyes, it would be enough to remove the packages from the
packages-dir into appropriate sub-dirs (like 7-Zip, JRE etc.)
