Well, it would be nice and (maybe) easier to find some package if e.g hdbc-sqlite3 would be under 'database' category instead of just 'lib'.

However, the problem is that if you browse categories available on AUR, there is none labelled as 'database' 'cause there 18 categories only including some very general like {gnome,kde,xfce,..}.

Ah, then I understand. And I disagree :-) To me this is an issue of discoverability of packages, I just don't think the ABS repo is the place to solve that issue. We'll need a tool to support our ABS repo, so that users can search for packages the same way they now can search AUR. /M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
