Sure, that'd be great. This information could be autogenerated from LDAP though. This would result in something like this: <pkgmetadata> <xi:include href="http://www.gentoo.org/metadata/metadata-refs.xml"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/> <!-- ^^ depends on how we decide to implement things --> <maintainer> <herd>foobar</herd> </maintainer> <maintainer primary="true"> <dev>moomooman</dev> </maintainer> <maintainer> <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email> <name>Someone Foobar</name> <description>Proxy maintainer</description> </maintainer> Just in case someone's interested: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dev-zero/metadata/ There is a first metadata.xsd and a couple of metadata.xml files for testing. You can validate using this: 'xmllint --xinclude --schema metadata.xsd --noout $FILE' since xmllint seems to ignore the XSD specification in the XML and tries to validate against a non-existing DTD. The metadata.xsd is a work-in-progress and not finished (yet). Cheers, Tiziano -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
