That works for me, and even takes care of the multiple email address merges, though we could still use .mailmap to clean up a couple inconsistently spelled names. (Would be nice to have a global mailmap across all Xorg/xcb repos, but I don't want to figure out the git magic to make that work myself.) <div class="moz-txt-sig"></div> </blockquote> Do you want output sorted by number of commits (which do not appear) or by authors name? The latter would require <big><tt>'git shortlog -s | cut -f2- > AUTHORS</tt></big>'. Sorting by commit numbers will result in a file that is constantly (ok, often) changing. Reading it to find a name is more difficult. Should this be made available to all xorg modules in util/macros? I have prototyped it. The makefile would look like in participating modules (under no obligation): <blockquote><tt>MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog INSTALL AUTHORS</tt><tt> </tt><tt> </tt><tt>.PHONY: ChangeLog INSTALL AUTHORS</tt><tt> </tt><tt> </tt><tt>INSTALL:</tt><tt> </tt><tt> $(INSTALL_CMD)</tt><tt> </tt><tt> </tt><tt>ChangeLog:</tt><tt> </tt><tt> $(CHANGELOG_CMD)</tt><tt> </tt><tt> </tt><tt>AUTHORS:</tt><tt> </tt><tt> $(AUTHORS_CMD)</tt><tt> </tt><tt> </tt><tt>dist-hook: ChangeLog INSTALL AUTHORS</tt><tt> </tt></blockquote> <ol> <li>In any case I need an rb line for COPYING which I believe is correct. </li> <li>If you elect for an AUTHORS file in git, I'll amend patch #4 with your choice of sorting </li> <li>If you elect for a util-macros implementation, I'll drop patch #4 and submit new patches after this series has been dealt with. </li> </ol> Thanks for the review! </body> </html>
