* Speaking of language specific ports, I've been thinking that adding * two letter country code defined in ISO3166 to PKGNAME isn't right. As * the name suggests, these codes are representing name of countries, not * languages. Since we are making *language specific* categories, I * think using language code is more appropriate. So, instead of using * ISO3166 codes, I suggest we change our convention to use code defined * by RFC1766. You are of course right, but the reason why I started adding "jp-" in front of Japanese packages is that pretty much all software out there designed for Japanese users use the prefix/suffix "jp" (if it's not just "j") to designate the language capability. However, I guess it's more "correct" to call them "ja-". If that's the majority opinion, I don't have a problem changing them. Satoshi
