Hi All,
I have a question on package classifications. I've read through the
Cygwin Package Contributors Guide and found the list of approved categories:
Admin Archive Base Database Devel
Doc Editors Games Graphics Interpreters
Libs Mail Math Net Shells
System Text Utils Web
I'd like to submit couple of packages that I've built under Cygwin, but
I'm at a loss as to a proper category. The package is a 3270 emulator
(Paul Mattes's x3270 program) which contains a 3270 emulator for X as
well as a curses-based version (and a few other variants). It's
basically a Telnet app which handles 3270 protocol. So, what category
would this fit in? Really, none of the above categories are a proper
match. Would it be possible to lobby for a new category? Say
"Applications"? or "Emulators"? If someone can suggest one of the
existing categories that would be fitting, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
