metadata.xml (the third)

So Petteri came up with a nifty python script (local), which in return spit out this. Which generated a rather complete list (local), that looks like this:

700:     perl

metadata.xml (the second)

March 14, 2008August 16, 2014 Christian 5 Comments

As I was kinda bored after work today, I had a closer look at what I saw during my fuckup in the morning. Well, Steve said, that when he looked at metadata.xml it’d be “really common” .. still that isn’t making it right ..

There is a reason we do have a herds.xml (exactly for the reason to associate people with packages, and that’s what the <herd> tag is for in metadata.xml) file. So after a preliminary look through the repository, here are the winners:

 700	: perl
 126	: xemacs
 63	: haskell
 47	: sound
 32	: ha-cluster
 31	: crypto

 15	: forensics
 13	: web-apps
 8	: mips
 8	: app-backup
 7	: kde
 6	: tcltk
 6	: net-im
 6	: media-tv
 6	: dev-embedded
 5	: voip
 5	: theology
 5	: samba
 5	: net-p2p
 4	: sparc
 4	: java

Don’t know how accurate that list is, but you can check it for yourself. The commands I’ve used are these:

for i in $( &lt; ../herds.list ); do
    grep --exclude=eclass --exclude=CVS 
    --exclude=profiles --exclude=skel.* -R 
    "$i@gentoo.org" /cvs/gentoo-x86/* ;
 done &gt; redundant-metadata-xml.list

for i in $( < ../herds.list ); do

grep --exclude=eclass --exclude=CVS

--exclude=profiles --exclude=skel.* -R

"$i@gentoo.org" /cvs/gentoo-x86/* ;

done > redundant-metadata-xml.list

for i in $( &lt; herds.list ); do
    echo -e " $( grep "$i@gentoo.org" 
                 ~/public_html/redundant-metadata-xml.list | 
                 wc -l )t: $i"; done | 
     grep -v "^ 0" | 
     sort -nr &gt; public_html/redundant-metadata-xml.overview

for i in $( < herds.list ); do

echo -e " $( grep "$i@gentoo.org"

~/public_html/redundant-metadata-xml.list |

wc -l )t: $i"; done |

grep -v "^ 0" |

sort -nr > public_html/redundant-metadata-xml.overview

While herds.list holds a list (separated by n) with all the herds there are. The raw files are here and here and here. Knock yourself out!

metadata.xml

March 14, 2008March 14, 2008 Christian 2 Comments

So I ended up cleaning out some retired (~20) people from metadata.xml, where I found this interesting piece of metadata.xml:

kernel-misc

  crypto@gentoo.org
  Crypto herd


  masterdriverz@gentoo.org
  Charlie Shephered

kernel-misc

crypto@gentoo.org

Crypto herd

masterdriverz@gentoo.org

Charlie Shephered

And here the hint for all you people again: A DAMN HERD AIN’T NO MAINTAINER. SO IF YOUR HERD IS MAINTAINING A PACKAGE, PUT IT INTO <herd> and not into the <maintainer>. kthnxbye.
