    Hi,

    Another idea for a new category: dev-build. Proposed description:

    Build systems and related tools.

    dev-util/cmake-fedora
    dev-util/gn
    dev-util/gtk-doc-am
    dev-util/gyp

    sys-devel/autoconf*
    sys-devel/automake*
    sys-devel/bmake
    sys-devel/cons

    Hi,

    Another idea for a new category: dev-build. Proposed description:

    Build systems and related tools.

    Some candidates (there are more):

    [snip]

    sys-devel/gettext (not 100% sure about it)

    I think that's the only one I wouldn't include as gettext seems to fit pretty well in sys-devel/ as it's main purpose is to manipulate .po/pot files and compile them in .mo files.
    (gettext(3) et al being provided either by glibc/musl or by dev-libs/libintl)

    sys-devel/cons
    sys-devel/gettext (not 100% sure about it)

    That's a bit of a toss-up, but I think I lean more towards the side of
    sys-libs or so (since, while it indeed provides build-time tools, it is
    not really a build system component, and it provides a few other libs).

    sys-devel/libtool
    sys-devel/make
    sys-devel/pmake
    sys-devel/qconf
    sys-devel/slibtool

    I like the idea.

    Have a lovely day!

    Have you considered the name 'dev-buildsys'? More straightforward in my opinion, with the cost of a longer length.

    I have but I don't like the idea of half-shortcuts. Also, we are really including some "building" tools like make that aren't really "systems".

    I suggest that ninja, samurai, bmake, pmake and make are all in the
    same category. Currently the first two are in dev-util while the rest
    are in sys-devel while they are all build tools that fill a similar
    need.

    There are at least a few generally language-specific build
    tools/systems that can, if you're into masochism, be used to build
    other languages (Gradle, Maven, etc.), and tools like Ant, which while primarily used in Java projects is really just a Makefile with
    different syntax and core functions in XML. Does making a new category
    for explicitly general-purpose tools like Make and friends ambiguate
    where the language-specific tools belong? Should other
    non-Make-related packages be moved from their current dev-[language] locations?

    Does dev-util/gyp really belong there, or since it is node-specific,
    should there be a dev-js category?


    In all of my RFCs, I've tried to keep moving stuff out of dev-
    <language>/* altogether. In general, I'd leave it to the maintainers to
    decide where a package fits best.
