you can then build category based directories with symlinks to the main location based on what categories
My ports-mgmt/symports does something like this. It builds a full directory tree of symlinks for the "secondary" categories.
I'm sure that something like this has been mentioned before. But I don't see what else is going to stop the categorization issue popping up all of the time.
If we alphabetized the ports then there would be constant conversation about how whether or not we should categorize them.
-- Eitan Adler
When this change goes in, it may be a good idea to commit a documentation change, as well, that cleans up and adds the new categories here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/makefile-categories.html
I'm against this change. I've never had any problems with the way ports are categorised.
Also, refuse file is arranged in categories, so I can, and often do, remove the whole categories of ports from my /usr/ports, e.g. languages which I don't speak, or java, or whatever. Spending time and energy on rearranging everything in alphabetic order is a waste of time and will not help me a bit.
I was referring to the change of the original idea of this thread regarding the splitting up of www, respectively. This thread has dealt with a plethora of changes.
