dev-scm can be easily confused with dev-scheme, so I would prefer
the name dev-vcs or dev-vc for the new category.

You might want to ask Seemant (?) why he didn't do the move several
years back. There were plans to do it, but it never happened for some
reason -- not sure whether it was just a time issue or whether there
was something in particular that made it impossible.

[gentoo-dev] Move SCMs to their own category?

2008-02-01 Thread Caleb Tennis 
Hi,

It seems like all source control/revision control programs live in dev-util, but
they might be better served in something like dev-scm or something like that.  
I'm
thinking things like darcs, git, cvs, svn, mercurial, bzr.  Then the slew of
packages that depend on them: gitosis, bzrtools.

Any objections to this potential move, or comments on a better category name?

No objections. Just wondering about tools like gitweb, will they stay in 
web-apps?

IIRC it was because you argued that cvs didn't qualify
as a VCS (as the proposed category name back then was app-vcs)

I dont see why cvs is not a vcs like the others but ok.

But I'm all in for a dev-scm (or similar) category.
