Hi all,
welcome to the IMC - irregular metdata.xml check, issue 1.
As can be seen from the statistcis below, the herd tags have been fixed.
Thanks to those who have helped with the cleanup.
Whats next?
==========
The current policy in the devmanual demands a maintainer tag -
nevertheless half the tree is without it.
The policy should perhaps be changed to reflect the reality.
Also, many ebuilds put the herds email address as an additional
<maintainer>. This is simply redundant and unless complaints are raised,
all herd <maintainer> tags will be removed and replaced by the
appropriate <herd> tag instead. Work on this will start over the weekend.
Statistics

Total number of packages: 11701
