Hello Arch,
i'm doing (for fun) a PKGBUILD parser in javascript, and now as i was
testing it with random PKGBUILD files from AUR, i noticed that there
is more than one way people use to define authors...
(/usr/share/PKGBUILD.proto shows only "Contributor")
till now i've found:
- Contributor
- Maintainer
- Author
so i wonder what others should i parse ?
or could you/we make a standard ?
cheers
.andre
in proto was fixed in the next version of pacman. The standard is
Maintainer and Contributor.
Maintainer the current person who's maintaining the packager.
Contributor past maintainers or persons who did contribute in a way
to the build(if the current maintainer wants to add them)
Finally a clear definition!
The main principle I use when deciding on things like this is the phrase
"Who gives a shit?". :P
Seriously... it is a comment so it does nothing. Does either label
make it less informative if it is the only one there?
