Gentoo Category Select is a Qt interface for browsing portage categories to exclude from rsync writen in Python. It lists the number of installed packages of each category as a warning not to exclude those categories but still assumes you know what you are doing.

The initial release, ver 0.1 is available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/categoryselect/
(sadly no ebuild, only bz2)

Due to copy/paste brokeness introduced in qt code clean up, version 0.2 is now released.
Also includes a small feature (justifying the full minor version instead of a point release).

The Bug:
clicking the baseList clear it instead of the categoryList it was supposed to. Once a base type was selected you couldn't select another. Then there was the mess that the categoryList became...

Version 0.3 released.

GCS no longer assumes you know what you are doing. If
category has installed packages a dialog with tell you it is refusing to exclude the category.

Confirmation Dialog added to change category status if
it doesn't have installed packages. Also informs that no
changes are final until Commit Button pressed.

Other changes listed in Changelog.
