Actually, this isn't that simple at the moment. There are packages that directly list me as the maintainer, but I want bugs for them assigned to the herd by default - so that the other folk in the herd can find them quickly. Perhaps this could be alleviated with an explicit assign-to field in package metadata? At the same time, it should have an explicit cc-to field, for cases where the maintainer is not in the herd. My idea would actually be the contrary: that the package is assigned to its maintainer (who could not be in the herd) and the herd(s) are CCed. Uven if the maintainer is in the herd, this procedure should be followed, as it is easier for the maintainer to track down the package. -- Ioannis Aslanidis 0xB9B11F4E -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

A package can belong to more than one herd. So you could create a media-vdr herd, and have two herd tags in the metadata.xml for the vdr packages; media-tv and media-vdr (I suggest the media- prefix as it's not necessarily obvious what vdr means on its own). If you do this, make sure there's a maintainer tag. However (c) seems to be the most sensible approach. > > > What do you think of that? > > Zzam > -- Kevin F.

Actually, this isn't that simple at the moment. There are packages that directly list me as the maintainer, but I want bugs for them assigned to the herd by default - so that the other folk in the herd can find them quickly. Perhaps this could be alleviated with an explicit assign-to field in package metadata? At the same time, it should have an explicit cc-to field, for cases where the maintainer is not in the herd. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 pgpgAFtIKpWNk.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-dev] new herd: vdr - topic reanimated
Hi! As the situation now has changed I would like to discuss this one more. Since one week we (hd_brummy and me) have changed our Gentoo VDR Project (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/video/vdr/index.xml) to an official subproject of desktop/video. Now the situation is as follows: Most packages have historically either a) one of us or b) both as a maintainer and the herd media-tv as fallback. c) The newest ebuilds have herd media-tv and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (projects mail-address) as maintainer. We now think that this should be unified. Our ideal would be having the concept of a sub-herd. The best realizable alternatives we can think of are: c) herd media-tv and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (projects mail-address) as maintainer. d) create an own herd vdr. What do you think of that?
