Yeah, can we get back to Abhishek's topic please?
I think I agree with his thinking: - Make the maintainer a proper singular bash variable string - Make the contributors a praper bash array - Let the web interface hold onto its own metadata (I don't think anyone wants the web interface editing PKGBUILDs) - Possibly rename maintainer to owner and keep contributors contributors - Or if more clear, rename maintainer to current_maintainer and contributors to past_maintainers
That should clear everything up and prevent further discussion.
I am very much against adding _unnecessary_ fields to PKGBUILDs... If these are not needed by makepkg or pacman, they should only be comments. It is going to take a lot of convincing for me to think otherwise. Allan
