Problem
People feel the need to create new categories, because the current list is too limited Blue chip casino .
Another problem is that some categories aren't very descriptive. What applications go in to tools, support or accessories Bodog casino ?
Maemo Packaging Policy
The current Maemo Packaging Policy lists casino del sol
the following sections:
- accessories
- communication
- games
- multimedia
- office
- other
- programming
- support
- themes
- tools
- casino royale las vegas
New list for Diablo

| user/education | Education | Flashcard apps |
| user/games | Games | Doom, Duke Nukem 3D |
| user/graphics | Graphics | Photo apps, GIMP, Inkscape, fonts |

It seems H-A-M supports (will support?) the section "user/hidden" in the future (commit log). This section will not be shown in the "Download" view, but will be shown in the "Update" and "Uninstall" views commerce casino .
Debtags
Debian Package Tags: Faceted Classification
As stated on the debtags website:
Drawing a bit freely from the literature of Faceted Classification, a facet is a group of tags which describe the same quality of a package. Package Tags are organized in Facets, that represent different points of view from which to look at the package archive. For example, you could have a "Usage" facet with tags about what a program is intended to be used for, or you could have a "Media" facet with tags about what kind of information a program is able to process, a "Technology" facet about the technology a package uses, and so on DES PLAINES CASINO . With this approach, every tag is situated in a specific context, and has a clear meaning. Also, tags from different facets shed light on packages from different points of view, giving "depth" to its categorization. Take something tagged with "Use::Chatting", "Technology::IRC", "Role::Server": it has a remarkable level of detail, and tells almost everything we need to know about what the package does.
Application-specific subcategories
Within each of the top-level categories, projects may want to group a number of packages together. For this, sub-sections can be used. For example, Canola may have:
| Package | Section |
|---|---|
| canola2 | user/multimedia/Canola |
| canola2-theme-flatblack | user/multimedia/Canola/themes |
| canola2-youtube-plugin | user/multimedia/Canola/plugins |
| canola-tuning | user/multimedia/Canola/settings |
The rule is simple:
- If the portion of the section path starts with a capital letter, it is shown as-is
- Otherwise the portion of the section path must be one of the above sections or, additionally:
- themes
- plugins
- translations
