Re: [Chicken-users] A proposal for egg category reassignment
One of my (still being written) eggs, kiksispe'i[1], is in the misc category and is more properly described as being a game. -Alan 1: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/kiksispehi On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 09:42:05AM +0200, Moritz Heidkamp wrote: > Hi Ivan, > > first of all, thanks for your effort! > > Ivan Raikov writes: > > * kalaha -> Miscellaneous > > * ssql -> Databases > > * ssql-postgresql -> Databases > > I have changed or added those eggs' categories accordingly and tagged > new releases for each so they should show up correctly soon unless I > made a mistake somewhere.

I was going to ask whether the 4.2.0 might be an indication of the rise and fall of a long forgotten empire... In any case these statistics do help for our decisions on backwards compatibility. The patch is fine with me. If anyone else thinks this does improve things, it should be pushed to master. Kind regards, Christian -- Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)?

Hi Ivan, first of all, thanks for your effort! Ivan Raikov writes: > * kalaha -> Miscellaneous > * ssql -> Databases > * ssql-postgresql -> Databases I have changed or added those eggs' categories accordingly and tagged new releases for each so they should show up correctly soon unless I made a mistake somewhere. While we're at it: kalaha is a game, maybe a category "Entertainment" would be a useful addition, too?

I might find myself hacking the build system to record more of this kind of thing, too... We can try running lsb_release during the build process and record its output if found, for a start.
