Re: Bug#220289: general: make a new section: gis, for Geographic Information System packages

2003-11-12 Thread Simon Richter
Hi,

  Debian needs a new Packages section, named gis, or perhaps geography or
  cartography, to prevent the mapping related packages from being
  scattered in sections graphics and science, and misc, etc.? as at present.

 I'd consider this section much too special.
 Why not sort out which category (science IMHO)
 is the right one and migrate there?

How about science/geography?

   Simon

Hi!

Establishing subsections?
Or as a section name?
Either way, we should use science/math, science/pysics,
science/biology, science/whatever... as well then.
I think geographyco neatly fits into the current science section.

Ciao,
Eike
