Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 01:17:08 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: <996b2k$rqs$1@kemoauc.mips.inka.de> Originator: naddy@mips.inka.de (Christian Weisgerber) To: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org How about setting (allowing to set) this in ports? MAINTAINER= Full Name Rationale: - It's friendlier. People can contact a person rather than a disembodied e-mail address. - Sendmail etc will still handle ${MAINTAINER}, so there is no immediate technical reason against it. Some time ago the OpenBSD Project introduced full names for MAINTAINER lines. I didn't think much of it at the time, but since then the idea has grown on me. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
