Every time I run the /trunk/MAINTAINERS and Mango sync script I have to fix 5-10 modules. I am not doing that anymore. It doesn't work. Further, Key-value is similar to XML. It is not that difficult. You just copy+change an existing DOAP file. Just like e.g. autotools. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
