Hi there,

with an amount of 8.500 ports and 60 categories, it

flat structure.

	math
	sience

country/national
	chinese
	french
	german
	hebrew
	japanese
	korean
	russian
	ukrainian
	vietnamese

development
	devel
		gawk
		gmake
	lang
		basic
		c
		cobol
		cpp
		forth
		fortran
		java
		lisp
		logo
		modula
		oberon
		ocam
		pascal
		perl
		php
		python
		ruby
		tcl
		tk

multimedia

	deskutils
	games
	graphics
	video
	x11
		x11-clocks
		x11-fm
		x11-fonts
		x11-servers
		x11-toolkits
		x11-wm
