Maybe, leaning to No. |

What about packages that have multiple slots, e.g php-4, php-5? one |
| 15 |
slot could be inactive the other not, does that make upstream active? |

Status of what? seeing you have proposed a upstream-status and a |
| 21 |
maintainer status. what else is there left to status :P |
| 22 |

| 24 |
No. As i'm pretty sure that every inactive maintainer won't go around |
| 25 |
updating their packages metadata.xml |

Interesting. what about the situation where upstream documentation sucks |
| 29 |
but there is a "better" resource provided by a third party, could we |
| 30 |
link to that? e.g. http://tldp.org for bash is an excellent resource |
| 31 |
Multiple doc links? |
| 32 |
<docs><official-doc/><official-doc/><doc/><doc/></docs> could provide |
| 33 |
that. Only concern I see is that this could relate to an endorsement of |
| 34 |
thirdparty websites, which may change negatively ( porn on tldp.org ) or |
| 35 |
my just become outdated. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Actually without the multiple official/unofficial doc tags I would have |
| 38 |
to say No. as 99% of the time it would just be "${HOMEPAGE}/doc" or |
| 39 |
there would be a big fat link from the homepage and therefore would be |
| 40 |
of no real benefit. |
