OK, maybe it's useful for developers. And particularly in the case of libraries, my point may not be as relevant. But in the interest of being consistent, it should be the same throughout. But as a user, if I'm looking for a database, I'd look at dev-db. I wouldn't expect it to be sitting in dev-ruby or something because it's written in Ruby. As a user, I don't particularly care what language something is in. For example, darcs is in Haskell. So what? I can still emerge it. I'm just voicing my objection -- if you decide to go ahead anyway and they're your packages, good for you. =) Thanks, Donnie -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCe5lkXVaO67S1rtsRAtDuAKDzeEP3SEUI/utllYTaZMrUj6oE2wCfR9wX 2BvBABFlOYsx8t3dcWW3FjU= =3srW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
