I understand that some directories under the proposed scheme may be large, such as /p/p5, /p/py, /g/gn but it seems that this would not be any real change from the current situation for the perl, python, devel, and other directories that exist now.
I don't understand what this scheme buys us (other than port maintainers not having to choose a place to put a port).
But that should be easier to find where a port is located (and the primary category could be changed more easily if need be). Moreover, if this is implemented, I think that prefixes should be optional, so that those who use a local source with a few ports only could choose to avoid prefixes. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
