I much prefer a new field to include categories/tags as I think it is more use friendly. Besides that people tend to forget things and start writing 'groups=(kde)' where groups=(category:kde) should have been.
Even if we come to the agreement that a new field is better, what Nagy said still holds. Groups and categories are both some kind of tags to packages. A huge part of their implementation will by consequent be the same and should be shared. So in my opinion, the brainstorming should go in that direction, to find out if that is possible and how to do it. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list pacman-dev@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
I suppose we could share a lot of the code with the groups field. I'm willing to look into it and start writing some new patches, but only after we come to an agreement that a new field is better.
