Does this mean that to clone it we'll have to go "git clone<br>
kde:games/knetwalk" or something along the lines?<br>
<br>
If that's the case I'd much prefer if we didn't do this, at the moment<br>
it's already uncomfortable for me to remember the URL for some of the<br>
repos (e.g. is it sysadmin/ or not?), this will only increase the<br>
problem and I personally don't see the advantage.<br>
<br>
e.g. Is okular graphics or office? Is gwenview plasma or graphics? Is<br>
krita graphics or its own thing?<br>
<br>
I really prefer when I don't have to guess this kind of things when<br>
fetching a repository.<br>
