Hi all, At the moment these are the opkg categories (as seen on http://opkg.org): Audio Games GPS Graphics Internet Office PIM Settings System Utility Video
Would it be more appropriate to use the relevant Debian/Ubuntu dpkg categories? Because most of the packages also exist and/or originate from .deb packages. They use the following (as seen on http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/intrepid/): Administration Utilities Base Utilities Communication Programs debian-installer udeb packages Development Documentation Editors Electronics Embedded software Games GNOME Graphics Ham Radio Interpreters KDE Library development Libraries Mail Mathematics Miscellaneous Network Newsgroups Old Libraries Other OS's and file systems Perl Python Science Shells Sound TeX Text Processing Translations Utilities Virtual packages Web Software X Window System software I'd like to suggest the following consolidation from opkg package categories to dpkg categories: Administration Utilities <- opkg Settings Base Utilities <- opkg System Editors <- opkg Office Games <- opkg Games Graphics <- opkg Graphics and some GPS Miscellaneous <- opkg GPS Sound <- opkg Audio Text Processing <- opkg Office Utilities <- opkg Utility and some GPS While looking into this, perhaps a new category called GPS needs to be added to the Debian/Ubuntu world. In short wat was the reason for these alternative categories and is this consolidation of categories welcomed?
