I agree with you, but by a pre-existing convention (not carved in stone
anywhere, AFAIK) in FreeBSD, I prefer keeping ports prefixed with
'hs-'.=20
1. Padre, which is an editor hacked in Perl is available from a port named
'p5-Padre'.
2. SpamAssassin, an anti-spam filter is available as 'p5-Mail-SpamAssassin'.
3. Pencil which is a mockup based out-of firefox is available as
'www/xpi-pencil', which even doesn't have anything to do with World Wide
Web except that it runs in a www browser, still has name/category like
that.
4. Conkeror, the web browser is available as 'xpi-conkeror'.
And also having 'hs-' prefix implies their being implemented in Haskell. I'm
sure other users who are aware of the convention of p5-, py-, xpi- will try=
to
search for Haskell related app as 'hs-'.
So, IMHO 'hs-' for all haskell based ports is a nice idea towards
uniformity/symmetry.
