[MacPorts] #15564: MacPorts DB has outdated maintainer information
#15564: MacPorts DB has outdated maintainer information -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@macports.org | Owner: jmpp@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: website | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- The MacPorts DB doesn't seem to be updating ports' maintainers properly. For example, the [http://db.macports.org/port/show/1604 MacPorts DB page for the q port] shows it has no maintainer, but I am its maintainer since r32081. The pages for [http://db.macports.org/port/show/1871 curl] and [http://db.macports.org/port/show/2120 wget] show they're maintained by yeled, but I took them over in r28530. The version information in the Port Packages section of those pages is being updated with new information. But for some reason the maintainer information isn't. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15564> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

We actually maintain separate maintainer information for a "port" from any submitted portpkgs. When a new portpkg is submitted where there was no previous information for a port, we set the maintainer. Otherwise, the port maintainer is never set. This is a policy issue: the general idea behind mpwa is that anybody can submit a portpkg for a port; we don't want to blindly update the port from the latest portpkg submission. Once we have authentication working, we can actually implement support for setting the maintainer of a port, who will then receive special status. We have a gsoc student working on mpwa; hopefully he can get to this issue. I'm assigning this bug to Rick. Thanks for the report. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15564#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
