Any guesswork is removed. Workable for a certain category of packages so long as it's advisory only. Arch teams need to be allowed to override maintainers where appropriate, and in some places (eg toolchain, kernel) the concept of maintainer arch is utterly irrelevant. And "maint" as a name? Yick. "maintainer" or "owner" maybe. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Sun__4_Sep_2005_21_05_35_+0100_qceGmA1iH02bSe1X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDG1OS96zL6DUtXhERAjfcAJ9bNd1iTmzjEzeSxRNRo43noRpFbQCfco74 LluwsWNSjsKjbQZmCI5915U= =c38e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Sun__4_Sep_2005_21_05_35_+0100_qceGmA1iH02bSe1X-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
