Hi all,

I have a question regarding the authors in our new man pages.

Would it be ok if we just merge them all together in one list and then xinclude this file in every man page or should they stay separated/different?

The only thing which would change is that every man page contains then all authors of all man pages: ...

please keep them separate -- I haven't participated in writing e.g. the port(1) man page and it wouldn't be nice to claim I would have. Regards, -Markus -- Dipl. Inf. (FH) Markus W. Weissmann http://www.macports.org/ http://www.mweissmann.de/

Separate, absolutely!

The only thing which would change is that every man page contains then all authors of all man pages:

- Boey Maun Suang <boeyms@macports.org> - Chris Ridd <cjr@opendarwin.org> - Felix Kroniage <fkr@opendarwin.org> - Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@macports.org> - Juan Manuel Palacios <jmpp@macports.org> - Kevin Ballard <eridius@macports.org> - Kevin Van Vechten <kevin@opendarwin.org> - Landon Fuller <landonf@macports.org> - Mark Duling <markd@macports.org> - Markus W. Weissmann <mww@macports.org> - Paul Guyot <pguyot@kallisys.net> - Yves de Champlain <yves@macports.org>

I wrote a lot of what today is in port.1, macports.conf.5 and maybe even a bit of portfile.7, so if the contents are kept I should probably be kept in (even if it is to toss a dictionary at me ;-) Regards,... -jmpp
