* From: Anders Nordby <anders@fix.no> * But programs like downloader, wget, lftp and pavuk downloads through http * as well as ftp. Some of them are not DESCRibed as ftp programs either. How * about a filetransfer category instead, or net-transfer? If we were to sort * out all programs in their own categories by protocol, we'd have a lot of * them. Though if we sort them out by their basis functionality it'd be * easier. Easier for who? I think clear-cut categories are easier for users to find stuff than general "let's put this and this here so we'll have more numbers" type categories. (Same goes for irc/icq vs. chat.) Not that I'm saying "filetransfer" is too generic, but "ftp" is too nice to pass up. We can always add "www" as a secondary category for those who speak both. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
