Two notes here: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- same name as herd requirement doesn't work for stuff like |
| 13 |
cron/mysql/postgresql/apache... i.e., system accounts. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- needs to be done tree-wide (for packages that have metadata.xml at |
| 16 |
least :P - ebuilds w/o metadata is topic for another thread). Until it's |
| 17 |
completed, it's not useful - you still cannot rely upon the assumption |
| 18 |
that if herd alias ain't in <maintainer>, they don't maintain the thing. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Otherwise yeah, +1 - and it's already done this way in many ebuilds, |
| 21 |
i.e., the herd alias is in <maintainer> as well. |
