Hi all, welcome to the IMC - irregular metdata.xml check, issue 1. As can be seen from the statistcis below, the herd tags have been fixed. Thanks to those who have helped with the cleanup.
Whats next? ========== The current policy in the devmanual demands a maintainer tag - nevertheless half the tree is without it. The policy should perhaps be changed to reflect the reality. Also, many ebuilds put the herds email address as an additional <maintainer>. This is simply redundant and unless complaints are raised, all herd <maintainer> tags will be removed and replaced by the appropriate <herd> tag instead. Work on this will start over the weekend. Statistics ================================= Total number of packages: 11701 metadata.xml missing 0 <herd> missing 0 <herd> empty 0 <herd> unknown 0 <herd>=no-herd 1880 <maintainer> missing 6616 <maintainer> retired 0 <maintainer> is a herd 1306 <maintainer> unknown 193 <maintainer>=maintainer-needed 438 Proxy maintainer without gentoo association 11 Unmaintained packages 596 The full metadata-check.log is available from: http://dev.gentoo.org/~bangert/metadata-check.log The script used to generate the log can be found here: http://overlays.gentoo.org/dev/bangert/browser/scripts/check-metadata.rb Feedback welcome. Kind regards Thilo
