Also the "[http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=database database]" and "[http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=databases databases]" categories should probably be combined with one another. Same thing with the "[http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ml ml]" and "[http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=category&substr=ocaml ocaml]" categories.
The folder name is "databases"; the 8 ports having category "database" are a mistake and it should be fixed; no need to consult maintainers IMO as it's obviously a mistake, and they're all openmaintainer anyway. Any category having only a couple ports in it is probably not needed and should be removed. We have categories for individual pieces of software (perl, python, ruby, php, etc.) when there will be tons of modules for that piece of software; otherwise a category for a specific software program seems to be unnecessary. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37890#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
