Wouldn't it be better classified as numpy is in 'Engineering and Scientific' in comps because it is where it is used for himself. > "Applications/Engineering and Scientific" meant for end-user > applications and not libararies? Oh god I'm so confused. :-| The end user depends on the category being considered. For scientists and engineers libraries that bay be used for themselves (like lapack, numpy and so on) should be in comps. Similarly, 'Development Tools' and development sections are for developpers, so it makes sense to have command line apps in this category. Lastly 'System Tools' and 'Hardware Support', and the servers are primarily for system administrators so it make sense to have command-line apps in it (most servers are command-line apps, indeed...). -- Pat -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
