Yeah, can we get back to Abhishek's topic please?
I think I agree with his thinking:
- Make the maintainer a proper singular bash variable string
- Make the contributors a praper bash array
- Let the web interface hold onto its own metadata (I don't think
anyone wants the web interface editing PKGBUILDs)
- Possibly rename maintainer to owner and keep contributors contributors
- Or if more clear, rename maintainer to current_maintainer and
contributors to past_maintainers
That should clear everything up and prevent further discussion.
I am very much against adding _unnecessary_ fields to PKGBUILDs... If
these are not needed by makepkg or pacman, they should only be
comments. It is going to take a lot of convincing for me to think
otherwise.
