Description Grzegorz Artur Daszuta 2005-01-14 03:10:43 UTC
Daily comics strips are important portion of life. There's one of essential steps in daily wake-up sequence 
"log in->make coffee->go to toilet->read comic stips->delete spam->..." 
Using web browser is slow and lowers one's productivity. We have professional comics' strip grabbing software in portage, ie:
app-misc/dailystrips
app-misc/webcomics-collector
kde-misc/komics
net-misc/netcomics-cvs
x11-misc/uf-view
There's also grabcartoons messing somewhere around the bugs.gentoo.org, methinks, it will be reasonable to put it in one category, to make easier finding and instaling it, increasing productivity of nearly each office worker.

The loose rule for Gentoo is there should be about 15 item sto make up a new category.  We can revisit this once there are more comic fetching packages in portage.
Comment 2 Grzegorz Artur Daszuta 2005-01-14 05:15:05 UTC
At a push, we can count about seven comics'-related applications in portage. So to create category like {games,app,media}-comics finding/writing another eight will be enough? :-)
Comment 3 Grzegorz Artur Daszuta 2005-01-14 05:20:34 UTC
by-the-way, it looks like this rule isn't very stiff at all:
crefff@binah /usr/portage $ for a in *-*;do A=`ls -l $a|wc -l`;[ $A -le 14 ] && echo $a;done
app-antivirus
app-gnustep
dev-scheme
games-engines
games-kids
games-sports
gnustep-base
gnustep-libs
media-radio
rox-base
rox-extra
sci-astronomy
sci-geosciences
www-apache
www-client
www-misc
x11-base

You did notice I used the word "loose", didn't you?
Comment 5 Grzegorz Artur Daszuta 2005-01-14 07:18:07 UTC
If rule is loose, it's rather custom than rule. ;-) I guess that far more people uses comics' summarizing utilities than geoscience apps.
