When searching for a software to do a given job and when I have no idea of which software can do it, I begin to look for the ebuild descriptions in the portage tree. It goes faster as anything else with mc. And I will never search a genealogy program in theology, so I will just miss it if it is in theology. That said, I agree at it is not a big deal in term of herd placement from a developer point of vue, but it is one, as I already said, in term of consistency and meanings. English is not my first language, and if the portage tree don't have a good consistency regarding to the meaning of the used terms, I vote to replace those terms by numbers. So it will be no consistency problem because it will be no consistency at all. I am joking, the name of the herds are fine. And I prefer to have such a naming policy as something as a/aa/* as on sourceforge. Ciao, Dominique -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
