Hello subscribers,
imo its hard to decide which category to use for some packages.
E.g. a browser: Should it be categorized as "network" or "x11"?
Is there a exact definition of these categorys somewhere? If not, one should be written.
Regards, PyroPeter
AFAIK not. The categories aare for better searching in AUR only, they have no technical reason in pacman. therefore the issue seems not important enough for someone writing an exact definitions document.
Regards Stefan
Even if it isn't important, I tend to put my packages under a category that is closest to the categories available. If an application is used for the internet, I put it under Network.
