Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
welcome to the IMC - irregular metdata.xml check, issue 1. |
| 4 |
As can be seen from the statistcis below, the herd tags have been fixed. |
| 5 |
Thanks to those who have helped with the cleanup. |

Whats next? |
| 8 |
========== |
| 9 |
The current policy in the devmanual demands a maintainer tag - |
| 10 |
nevertheless half the tree is without it. |
| 11 |
The policy should perhaps be changed to reflect the reality. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Also, many ebuilds put the herds email address as an additional |
| 14 |
<maintainer>. This is simply redundant and unless complaints are raised, |
| 15 |
all herd <maintainer> tags will be removed and replaced by the |
| 16 |
appropriate <herd> tag instead. Work on this will start over the weekend. |
