I've raised bug 239395. I'd appreciate if someone tell me I need to
get who's approval to commit this.

Concluding everyone's opinion, starting with virtual category sounds much
easier.  Thanks. I'll create a list of VPN softwares first.

As you know, we already have net-im, net-p2p, net-mgmt categories.
This is one of reasons why I feel net-vpn is more suitable.

Same for portmaster yes, I just wanted to raise the fact that virtual categories
are transparent addition, but almost useless, while physical one have an impact

For poudriere, it is transparent as it parses MOVED, and new physical
categories add entries in there. I think it will tell you something
about it too.

Just to say, having a new "real" category will force people to rework their
entry list for poudriere, reinstall things if they are using portmaster etc.
No problem at all for pkg(8) users as it would be transparent

As for the virtual category it will work, but has the very limited effect of
only allowing things like freshports to list things withing that category,
almost nothing else do use the virtual categories.

Hi Diane,

That's a great approach to it! AFAIK we haven't explicitly used
virtual categories as a staging ground for hard categories, but that
seems like a really pragmatic approach; no matter the outcome, the
ports tree comes out ahead.

It's far easier making a virtual category and easier to count ports.
e.g. https://www.freshports.org/hamradio 

We have 101 hamradio related ports with more coming...
korean has 43,portuguese has 15,russian has 42 although languages are a
special case palm has 15 ports but whatever. ;)

I'd be surprised if there weren't more vpn ports than 101 so why not
go with a virtual ports category to start with?

Creating new categories is absolutely doable! However, we have a
pretty high bar for justifying it. There's no magic number, but our
(portmgr's) precedent is that the new category must, at the time of
creation, be as full as other categories like it.

The most important thing in the new category proposal is a
comprehensive list of ports that will be moved to it. Put that into a
review or a PR and we can move forward. Fair warning though, if it's
only about a dozen ports, it most likely will not be approved.

My approach here is that new categories should be virtual unless the
evidence for hard category is incontrovertible.

Hey if you can convince port managers that a new real category is in
order I'll petition for a real hamradio category. We are currently
split between audio, comms, misc, cad ... ;)

It will be much easier getting a new virtual category than a real category.
I'd agree a real category for both vpn and hamradio would be nice but
it's a PITA and personally I don't feel it matters that much.

I am not sure if it should be vpn or net-vpn. I feel net-vpn is
more suitable.

How about a new "real" category vpn and preserving the current categories
of the ports as their additional categories (assuming that they are in net
vs. security for a reason).

Sounds better! Gentoo has net-vpn category. Just FYI, Gentoo also have
net-dialup category. PPP/PPPoE/L2TP softwares are put under net-dialup
but I feel that classification is too fine. At least creating vpn or
net-vpn souds good.

category for VPN softwares?

Hi, 

some VPN softwares are in security category/directory. OTOH, some VPN
softwares are in net category/directory. Which is correct & preferred?
Incoherent categories are a little bit surprising and confusing for me.

I'd like to sort out categories of VPN softwares. Probably we have
following options. What do you think? I'd appreciate any comments or
suggestions.

1. Incoherent categories are OK and leave it as-is
2. Move all VPN softwares to either of net or security
3. Create a new virtual category "vpn" and leave phys categories as-is
4. Create a new virtual category "vpn" and also sort out phys categories
5. Another option
