Parsing those files is not workable. As said before, this is too much of a burden on me to keep on adding 'magic' to somehow parse random text into gnome userids (theoretically: other sysadmins). Due to various objections raised in the thread I've come to the conclusion that what would be ideal (IMO) from an infrastructure standpoint is not possible in practice without ignoring too many maintainers. As a result, I will not implement my proposal, nor anything related to the information which would be in doap, including what I've been doing manually. This includes e.g. svn-commits-list reply-to updates and damned-lies&&MAINTAINERS->Mango userid 'sync'. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
