Does anyone else feel that having 6100 subdirectories (939 are for py-* stuff)
is a bit excessive?
It is. But py-* stuff has second place only:
$ ls /usr/ports/devel | sed 's/-.*//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
1908 p5
964 py
600 rubygem
280 hs
176 pear
57 R
56 pecl
48 elixir
47 geany
43 erlang
In fact, ports/devel is first but not only category having similar problem with
p5-* stuff:
$ cd /usr/ports
$ find . -type d -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 | while read category; do printf "%15s
" ${category#./}; ls $category | sed 's/-.*//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
-1; done | sort -k 2,2 -rn | head -15
devel 1908 p5
www 807 p5
textproc 617 p5
net 327 p5
databases 259 p5
security 258 p5
math 146 p5
mail 145 p5
graphics 100 p5
editors 98 libreoffice
sysutils 75 rubygem
converters 72 p5
misc 63 p5
net-mgmt 56 p5
x11-toolkits 49 p5
Yeah, I happened to notice the py-* stuff due to some problems I have been
having with synth. I did notice the large number of p5-* subdirs but didn't
count them. :)
Certainly seems to be out of control...
the py and p5 stuff is a symptom of another problem, which is that we
are only second level for those files...
the correct behaviour in my point of view is for our packages/ports
system to delegate to pypi or similar for python and to CPAN for perl.
maybe with the ability to add some patches on the way through.. There
is just too much going on there for us to follow properly.
