I never suggested that we work around laziness, people should absolutely configure their system properly (I personally think violators should be punished with regular kernel panics, but I don't think Linus will accept my patch). I'm just trying to give default values that conform to what a user expects to see: if they added a real name on account creation then it should show up wherever a real name is needed, if they set the EMAIL environment variable then software should assume that's the user's email and use it. Those are both recommended by the wiki too. And if they set PACKAGER it leaks into makepkg just the same, but better? On Wed, Feb 1, 2017, 12:47 AM Allan McRae, <allan@archlinux.org> wrote:

The system usually has enough information in various places to guess the name and email of the person running the makepkg script. Use these instead of defaulting to "Unknown Packager" to minimize configuration necessary by the user. This particular implemenation should provide relatively good guess that's compatible with other programs (i.e. git).

This returns a pile of shit on my system.... We are not going to work around laziness.
