: # I don't follow. Are you saying you treated MAINTAINER lines in the
: # Makefile's as the official list, or /usr/src/MAINTAINERS as the official
: # list?
:
: Official: /usr/src/MAINTAINERS
: Inofficial: Makefiles with MAINTAINER=
:
: But the official file has at its bottom a list of inofficial Makefile
: references. I'm trying to get down that list to zero entries, by telling
: those folks to please make an official entry, removing their MAINTAINER=
: line in foo/Makefile, and deleting their unofficial line in the official
: file. This is exactly what dougb's text in /usr/src/MAINTAINERS says,
:
: Following are the entries from the Makefiles, and a few other sources.
: Please remove stale entries from both their origin, and this file.
:
: Please also consider removing the lines from the files listed below and
: stating your preferences here instead.
:
: Does that answer your question? The intent is to have one and only one
: place to look for maintainership, (the top) of /usr/src/MAINTAINERS.
: Ideally, there'd be no distinction bewteen top and bottom of
: /usr/src/MAINTAINERS. I'm just trying to make happen what dougb added to
: /usr/src/MAINTAINERS on 04-Jun-03.
:
: It appears though, just grepping Makefiles was too narrow a search, as
: MAINTAINER= seems to also appear in c source and some other files. I'll
: verify if I have removed someone unintentionally.
Please do not make further commits of this nature to MAINTAINERS. I'd
planned on *REMOVING* the lines that people didn't care enough to
move :-(. This has made it harder.
