New GNOME meta-ports [summary]

[Joe Marcus Clarke]

After reviewing everyone's comments, I have decided to move forward with
the following.  This is mainly to get something in the tree, and avoid a
long Bikeshed of Death.  However, if what I say here sounds completely
whack, let me know quickly.

x11/gnome2 and x11/gnome2-lite will remain the same as they are now. 
x11/gnome2 will remain in sync with the GNOME Desktop as defined by
Gnome.org.  x11/gnome2-lite will be a subset of x11/gnome2, and will
change at the request of re at .

x11/gnome2-fifth-toe will change to include the following:

graphics/gthumb2
news/pan2
net/gnomeicu2
x11-toolkits/gnome-themes-extras
graphics/gimp-devel
www/bluefish-devel
net/tsclient
graphics/sodipodi
graphics/inkscape
security/seahorse
ftp/gftp
net/gossip
audio/rhythmbox
net/straw
net/lifearea
multimedia/totem
irc/xchat2
net/gaim
www/galeon2
audio/jamboree

x11/gnome2-(power-tools) (as Adam suggested, we may need a better name)
will contain the following:

devel/gnomevfs-extras
sysutils/gnome-pkgview
misc/quick-lounge-applet
x11/gswitchit
editors/dasher
net/netspeed_applet
editors/gedit-plugins
deskutils/gdesklets
sysutils/gkrellm2
[www/epiphany-extensions] (only available for GNOME 2.5)
net/gnomenetwork
net/gnomenetstatus

devel/gnome2-hacker-tools will consist of the following:

editors/mlview
devel/gnomecommon
devel/glade2
editors/ghex2
devel/regexxer
editors/conglomerate
devel/anjuta-devel
texproc/meld

And finally, editors/gnome2-office (editors/ to follow koffice) will
consist of the following:

math/gnumeric2
deskutils/mrproject (to be renamed planner when cvs@ does the repo copy)
graphics/dia
deskutils/glabels
mail/evolution
editors/AbiWord2
databases/mergeant

Here is my thinking behind each meta-port.  The Fifth Toe should consist
of relatively stable applications that virtually every user would expect
to see as part of a desktop.  When thinking about applications for this
meta-port, consider what MacOS X and Windows offer in their default
desktops.  

Power Tools (or whatever we decide to call it) should be more utilities
that power users or advanced users would want.  Applications in this
category would be found under System Tools in Windows or
Applications/Utilities in MacOS X.  This category could also contain
enhancements to core Desktop or Fifth Toe components (compliments, if
you will).

Hacker Tools are programmer tools.  This meta-port should contain IDEs,
interface builders, hacker editors, and other tools to build and
maintain code.

Office should provide applications that are comparable to those included
in Microsoft Office.  That is, they should provide the user with word
processing, spreadsheet, presentation, database access, groupware, and
project management applications.

Any final thoughts on these before I commit these to the tree?  I'll
hold off on Power Tools until we come to a naming consensus. Thanks.

Joe
