Actually, I don't mind much. There's a developers or two who keep on adding packages without metadata.xml all the time (won't name anyone, I'm pretty sure they'll find themselves here :P). This will either force them to reclaim their packages via fixing the metadata.xml thing or will leave the ebuilds orphaned to m-needed - and then they shouldn't have been added in the first place. Above, I'm not talking about legacy stuff maintained in an ad-hoc manner for ages, but about fairly recent additions to the tree (~1 year or even less). However, even for legacy stuff, nothing is preventing the people from claiming their ebuilds the right way and adding themselves to metadata.xml - will make assigning bugs much easier for me. ;) --=20 Best regards, Jakub Moc mailto:jakub@gentoo.org GPG signature: http://subkeys.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xCEBA3D9E Primary key fingerprint: D2D7 933C 9BA1 C95B 2C95 B30F 8717 D5FD CEBA 3= D9E ... still no signature ;) --------------enigC97A9F7D0810FCBCC8262577 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFZXXvhxfV/c66PZ4RA993AJ43e2XMpI2THlPyLoHS9dP4+tmp8ACgm18h Vlr+TjyYXyZoROwkse3BYfU= =4ZT3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC97A9F7D0810FCBCC8262577-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
