Leave as is. Read the metadata.xml for www-proxy: The www-proxy category contains network proxy software. I am aware of that. However, in the event I move socks to this category, the name is misleading. I will not move 'em unless the name is changed. Just because the category is prefixed with 'www' ? That's silly (imo), but hey, it's your choice... I wouldn't search for socks proxy software in a www category either. net-proxy sounds much more appealing. -- (o_ Markus Nigbur //\ Gentoo GNU/Linux Developer [ ]/_ http://www.gentoo.org GPG Fingerprint: 9E31 187A 6C78 210C F248 EDBB F2FB A77F 707D F8C1 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
