[Fink-devel] Source-MD5 and Homepage fields

[Patrick N�f]

As part of my redemption for the sin of making negative comments on the list :-) I would like to offer the following penance:

Quite a number of .info files don't have a Homepage or Source-MD5 field. If you people think that it would be worthwile I would make an effort to provide the necessary information. Specifically

- I would make a "fink fetch" for every package missing the md5 sum and then calculate the sum with /sw/bin/md5sum

- for every package missing the Homepage field I would try and locate the URL


Before starting work I would make a final selfupdate-cvs and then put aside the whole 10.2 tree. I would then add the fields to the .info files, make a ball from the files for every maintainer and... do what? Send it to them personally? Put it on the package submission tracker?

Any comments welcome
Patrick
