[reposted to debian-devel because the issue is tricky and more people hopefully mean more clues]
Hello, Let's look at the uses of the scope facet: http://debtags.debian.net/reports/facets/scope It would be nice if we could say "if a package has role::program, then it should also have some scope::* tag". However, the current contents of the scope facet are probably not enough to cover all programs in Debian: http://debtags.debian.net/search/bytag?wl=role::program&bl=scope::application,scope::utility http://debtags.debian.net/edit/tags/role::program,-scope::application,-scope::utility Those reports show(especially the second link that is sorted by popularity) quite a bit of programs that are neither apps nor utilities: - essential system management: login, apt, bsdmainutils, passwd, udev, dbus, consolekit, nfs-common, rsyslog, portmap, acpid, ... - system services: openssh-server, exim4-daemon-light, ... - compilers and interpreters: perl, python2.6, ... "scope::infrastructure" is a new tag that would come to mind, although I'm not sure it would really cut it for compilers and interpreters, when seen as development tools, although in a way they are. Ideas? Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>
