[aur-general] Fwd: New category: Security
Hello. I hoped you would add a new category to AUR called "Security". I thought it would be more suitable for those packages which target computer security. For example, some of my packages which would fit better to Security category are bully https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bully/ or oclhashcat https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oclhashcat/. Kuci

Kuci I agree. Some of mine would fit better in a security category.

Eh, categories are mostly pointless anyway, if anything they might as well just be removed instead.. -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg PGP Key ID: 0x50FB9B273A9D0BB5 https://theos.kyriasis.com/~kyrias/

I propose to remove "category" section completely. For several years of using AUR I personally did not find any use for it.
Categories has been proposed to be dropped several times, but none has done it, so, please drop them or keep them and add security.

In the pre-alpha release, currently up on http://aur-dev.archlinux.org the categories are still there, one has to set it after the first upload of a package. Regards, Marcel
