Tools like herdstat use the HERDS environment variable. If other |
| 19 |
parsers/users of herds.xml are modified to use the same HERDS then its a |
| 20 |
consistant win for cvs users. How many tools are there? |
| 21 |
|

Once herds.xml gets added to the $PORTDIR/metadata herdstat (and other |
| 23 |
programs) will be a lot easier to use for non-devs and budding devs. |

I'd be really happy to see it added. Since there really no objection who |
| 30 |
controls the staging server enough to implement this? I'm happy to write up a |
| 31 |
bug report but I'm not sure who to assign it to. |
