[Installit-dev] Package categories

[Jannis Pohlmann]

Morning,

ok, this is my new suggestion for the package list format.

<packages>
  <categories>
    <category title="Xfce Libraries" name="xfce-libs"/>
    <category title="File Management" name="file-management"/>
    <category title="Package Management" name="pkg-management"/>
    ...
  </categories

  <package name="thunar" version="1.0" category="file-management"/>
  <package name="libexo" version="0.9" category="xfce-libs"/>
  <package name="libexo" version="1.0" category="xfce-libs"/>
  <package name="xfce4utils" version="4.3" category="xfce-libs"/>
  <package name="installit" version="0.9" category="pkg-management"/>
  ...

  <group title="Thunar 1.0">
    <member name="thunar" version="1.0"/>
    <member name="libexo" version="1.0"/>
  </group>

  <group title="Xfce 4.3">
    <member name="xfce4utils" version="4.3"/>
    ...
  </group>
</packages>

NOTES:

1. Removed the version attribute from group. This should be put into
   the title.

2. Renamed the name attribute to title for consistency reasons.

3. The type attribute for packages and groups is optional. If a group
   has a type attribute the type of its members is supposed to be the
   same.

4. Packages can only be member of *one* category. Anything else would
   force the user to be confused, hehe.

Please tell me what you think of it.

Regards,
Jannis
