Alot of patches have been flowing into the layer. So would you like to leave it as Maintained or change it to Odd Fixes? (Maintained = a maintainer) From the MAINTAINTERS file: Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this. Maintained: Someone actually looks after it. Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do much other than throw the odd patch in. See below.. Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the role as you write your new code]. Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means it has been replaced by a better system and you should be using that. ... If you start doing this, there are a lot more entries that need to be changed... Which of Supported/Maintained/Odd Fixes is written doesn't matter in practice. What matters is that James' email address gets into the entry so that patches and bug reports reach him.
