The only requirement with regard to categories that I am aware of is that a port be in a category in the dports tree so that PortIndex can find it. While it makes sense that portlint should issue warnings about categories that don't exist (was the category a typo?), portlint in this case should not drive behavior (unless, of course, the category was a typo like (for example: gnmoe instead of gnome).
port lint should probably just check the primary category... (at least that's the only ones that are in the list it knows)
Maybe port lint should just check that the first category listed matches the directory the portfile is actually in? So, for example, it would warn about the php5 port, whose port directory lives in the www directory, but the portfile defines the categories as "lang php www". Presumably that should instead be "www php lang".
Or what did you mean by "primary category"?
I meant the category that the port lives in. Randall Wood rhwood@mac.com http://shyramblings.blogspot.com "The rules are simple: The ball is round. The game lasts 90 minutes. All the rest is just philosophy."
