Ha, ironically, eadler@ dropped that line from archivers/nwreckdum/pkg-descr. Eitan, I believe that goes a bit beyond removing "maintainer tags". While I was always supporting to removing this old-school attribution (popular in those days when community was small and those names of people who submitted the port/package or simply made it useful made some sense -- but those days are gone, FBoFW), removing original author name is probably wrong. ./danfe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
