Re: Changes to the packages

After making this short list of packages, I noticed that the problem I was 
pointed by Zackary won't really be a problem.
He told me that by re-categorizing everything I would rebuild everything and 
make all the people download everything again... while that is true, this 
re-categorizing task is so slow, that it might take me a month or two, so, it 
won't generate lots of rebuilds... knowing that, do you think I can do it 
directly to the packages ? what if I do it to some priority packages (those 
that will end un in the category Applications and those that are in the 
category Applications and shouldn't be there... that's my priority, show the 
users a clean list of Applications to install).
Thanks.
