It stands for who is either "owner" or "active maintainer, the contact for this if you need one" of the code. In this case, ${MAINTAINERS} would be who you would contact for the OpenSSH port, Sumikawa san or myself. I don't really understand what is not to be implicitly understood by the MAINTAINERS variable, since we all understand what the MAINTAINER means and MAINTAINERS is just an extension of that logic. > > -- > Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net > -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
