Dear portfile maintainers,There was a recent discussion on the list in which it was decided that we should support obscuring the email addresses in the maintainer line of our portfiles. If your email address is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then the obscured address entered into the portfile would be "foo.example.com:bob". If your email address ends with @macports.org, then your obscured address is simply the username before the @ sign. A future version of MacPorts will automatically un- obscure the email addresses again for commands like "port info".
Some maintainers have already started obscuring their email addresses in their ports. If you would like to obscure your email address in the ports you maintain, you can use the attached script to do so. Assuming you have a Subversion working copy of the ports tree, change to that directory and run the script in that directory with your current maintainer email address as the only argument. The script will obscure the address and swap it out in all your portfiles. You can then examine the output of "svn diff" to ensure the change is correct (and that you have no other unrelated changes in your working copy) and then you can "svn commit" it.
# Change to ports tree $ cd /path/to/dports # Make sure there are no other uncommitted changes $ svn status # Make sure we're up to date $ svn update # Obscure maintainer email addresses $ ~/Desktop/portfile-email-fix.sh [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Check the changes $ svn diff # Commit it $ svn commit -m "Obscuring my email address in the ports I maintain."Caveat: The script will not find any ports of yours where your email address is not on the line that begins with the command "maintainers", for example if the maintainers are split across multiple lines. However, I think there are only four ports to which this applies, and in all four of them, only "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is on the second line.
