* From: Narvi <narvi@haldjas.folklore.ee> * Why devel? It is one of the big categories, it is one of the "useful" * categories, it is one of the categories that can (IMHO) be rationaly * broken up into parts. What do people think about this one, BTW? * ----- ------ * * The proposal: * * corba -> CORBA ORBs. * debug -> tools and libraries which are meant for debuging programs * devel-libs -> general purpose development libraries, wrappers for other * languages. * devel-cross -> crossplatform development tools * devel-build -> makes, ides, bulders and friends. * devel -> all other general development tools, etc. This is good, except I don't particularly like "devel-libs". If we are going to break it up by "what you can do with them", we should be consistent and don't mix a "what it is", that will cause a lot of overlapping. (I know you put a "general purpose" in there to make this a difference set, but that's not easily inferrable from the name.) * Beside these: By the way, you don't want to use tabs in multicolumn lists you send in mail. :> (I untabified it before quoting.) * corba/ * * ORBacus mico mico-latest omniORB There is now ORBit in here. This category will grow quickly, so I think it's fine even if it's initially small. * debug/ * * ElectricFence nana ups-debug * ddd p5-Data-Dumper xxgdb * gdb p5-Devel-Symdump * gdbtk p5-TraceFuncs Looks good. * devel/ * * SWIG f77flow m4 p5-Devel-DProf prcs * cccc fpp makedepend p5-Devel-Peek re2c * cflow ftncheck mprof p5-Include tclcheck * cs gindent noweb p5-Penguin tkcvs * cutils id-utils p5-B p5-Penguin-Easy tkref * cweb lclint p5-C-Scan pccts * cxref libtool p5-Data-Flow portlint * * devel-build/ * * SpecTcl dmake gmake qtez xwpe * autoconf gide jam vtcl * automake glade mkmf xmake makedepend should be in devel-build. m4 probably doesn't belong in devel at all, how about moving it to textproc? Also, some people might think call graph generation (cflow, cxref, etc.) closely related of debugging. (Well I do, but maybe it's just me. :) * devel-cross/ * * a2dev gcc11 * asl linux_devel * crossgo32 linux_kdump * crossgo32-djgpp2 m68kgdb * crossgo32-djgpp2-pdcurses nasm * crossm68k prc-tools * crosssco scogdb Ok.
