Hello Arch, i'm doing (for fun) a PKGBUILD parser in javascript, and now as i was testing it with random PKGBUILD files from AUR, i noticed that there is more than one way people use to define authors... (/usr/share/PKGBUILD.proto shows only "Contributor") till now i've found: - Contributor - Maintainer - Author so i wonder what others should i parse ? or could you/we make a standard ? cheers .andre
in proto was fixed in the next version of pacman. The standard is Maintainer and Contributor.
Maintainer the current person who's maintaining the packager. Contributor past maintainers or persons who did contribute in a way to the build(if the current maintainer wants to add them)
