Hi all, Ever since I peeked at OpenBSD's ports [1] to see how they handle headers, I've noticed something else nice that they do.
Instead of the plain, boring who-the-hell-is-this MAINTAINER line that we have; MAINTAINER=cr...@freebsd.org they have the much more pleasant and personal style; MAINTAINER=Chris Rees <cr...@freebsd.org> How would people feel about supporting that in our ports tree? I have prepared a patch that keeps the old behaviour for "make maintainer", and while I did it I couldn't help but notice that the code for make readmes actually supports such a style. http://www.bayofrum.net/~crees/patches/bsd-port-mk-maintainer-not-just-email.diff As well as being nice to see, it would also mean that addport could use the data in the MAINTAINER line to get real names back into Submitted by: commit logs (currently it only has maintainer email). As a nice extra, it would also on the surface support multiple maintainers.... and make maintainer would still only return the first match.
