[beports] Re: Ports not in Gentoo Portage

Hello Brecht,

Have you thought about what to do in the rare case that a port is not
in Gentoo Portage? WebKit is one such case. My suggestion would be to
create custom categories and to prefix such categories with x- like
IANA does; I checked this doesn't conflict with X, that's x11-.


No I haven't thought about that yet. I simply copied the Portage tree
layout as a convenience. I have wondered whether Portage has some sort
of naming convention, but I haven't been able to find anything on that. 
Personally, I would just add WebKit to the appropriate category
(net-libs?). This would keep the BePorts tree somewhat intuitive.
I've looked around some more and decided to follow your suggestion of net-libs. 

Thanks,

Andreas
