Hi guys. |

With this one I am calling for discussion. There are multiple packages under |
| 4 |
dev-lang without metadata: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
groug dev-lang # ls -1|wc -l |
| 7 |
64 |
| 8 |
groug dev-lang # find -iname metadata.xml|wc -l |
| 9 |
27 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
looks to me like 37 are not covered :(. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Most of this list is composed of only one or two packages per language, so |
| 14 |
creating specific lang herd for every of them is kind of strange. Also they |
| 15 |
seem to have been committed by different people, so organizing them |
| 16 |
per-developer is also questionable. As I am identifying languages having |
| 17 |
"crytical mass" of submissions and finding interested people, I spin off |
| 18 |
another herd (like I just proposed for prolog). However this process is not |
| 19 |
that quick either. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
What I propose is to form a single herd that should pick up majority of these |
| 22 |
packages (and potentially related stuff from dev-utils or dev-libs). We can |
| 23 |
call it, say, "lang-other" or "lang-unfiled" or give me a better name ;) and |
| 24 |
start adding so far uncategorized languages to it. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Any thoughts, opinions? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If there will be no objection in a few days I'll add this herd to herds.xml |
| 29 |
and will ask people to sign-up, if you feel your package is related (please |
| 30 |
add yourself to the herd and then add metatdata to the appropriate package). |
