First congrats for all the improvements. This leads me to two questions:
- It appears the "out of date" date is set to the same value for all packages marked out of date. I assume this is the intended behavior as the info was not stored anywhere, right?
Correct. All packages that were flagged during the upgrade have a timestamp of "Mon, 21 Feb 2011 09:23:39 +0000" (that's the moment I ran the database upgrade script).
- What about the "submitter"? Was this info always known or is there some default in some cases? The thing is I have one package [1] I maintain where the submitter (Allan) is not credited. Should I consider this info as accurate and add the submitter to the contributor entries?
The submitter is the person who initially uploaded a package to the AUR. That should be the first maintainer/contributor in most cases, but might also be some Arch dev/TU who moved a package from [core], [extra] or [community] to the AUR during some cleanup or whatever.
