<title>SECTION variable: Package category</title>
<para>Sections are a means for categorising packages into related groups to
enable users to find packages easier. The <command>SECTION</command>
variable is used to declare which section a package belongs to. The most
common use of the section information is in GUI based package management
applications.</para>
<para>The default values for the section variables are:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><command>SECTION = "base"</command></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command>SECTION_${PN}-doc = "doc"</command></para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><command>SECTION_${PN}-dev = "devel"</command></para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Note that each package generated by a recipe can have it's own section
and that by default documentation and development files are seperated out to
their own sections.</para>
<para>The table of sections show the current usage of section information.
This is a recomendation only, althought it is recomended that any additions
or modifications be discusssed via the open embedded developer mailing list
first.</para>
