Here's an alternative idea: * Move the repository information into the overlays themselves. Require overlays to provide a file containing the description, homepage, owner information etc. * After a certain amount of time, switch new versions of layman to use a new file that's generated from these. Any overlay that doesn't contain such a file is clearly unmaintained and should no longer be supported. * Also use this opportunity to clean up the repo_name vs layman name mess: any repository that gets it wrong should not be included in the new layman file. Sounds like a perfect opportunity to make sure that everything in layman's still actively maintained and developed. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/MECOHzhFt_4_NV7KhmN8Arv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkrDbY0ACgkQ96zL6DUtXhFXiQCg5kW/uTDEhv5KYcG8Z77uPJvo 8ToAoM56nEsaGCsDLDglPftSirUTCVXu =GBXt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/MECOHzhFt_4_NV7KhmN8Arv--
