What does x11-drivers/ do that applies here? x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev >From his example: sys-firmware/video-ati ... he's obviously referring to the middle "sub-category", -video- -input- etc. But your point about putting that in the category instead, thus having firmware-video, firmware-tv, firmware-sound, etc, instead of putting them all in sys-firmware, DOES make sense. For firmware-* categories that would otherwise just have a single package or two, there could be a firmware-misc, if category-proliferation is seen to be a big issue. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
