Well, it definitely belongs there. Probably everybody assumed it was there
already and did not bother to check.

Alex explained in the commit log:

* THANKS: Remove Federico Beffa, Marek Benc, John Darrington, Alex Kost,
  Cyrill Schenkel and Andy Wingo because they are placed in AUTHORS.

I guess that no one is being removed from the list; Alex is only
eliminating the duplication.

It's fine the way it is, that is: i would sort myself as if my family
name was just "Walt", too.

However, i care about that marginally less than i do about incorrect
capitalisation of van/der :).

Thank you,

OK, so just to make sure I understand you right, you prefer the
following variant:

After some investigating, I found that several people who made commits
are not mentioned at all (neither in THANKS, nor in AUTHORS)!

People I added to AUTHORS:

- Arne Babenhauserheide: he added 'mercurial' package.

- Ian Denhardt: he added 'feh' package, 'version-prefix' and
  'version-major+minor' procedures, and some other things.

- Kevin Lemonnier: he added 'zsh' and 'weechat' packages and a patch for
  'lua'.

- Mathieu Lirzin: he added 'markdown', 'xbindkeys' and 'dionysus'
  packages, and moved HACKING to the manual!

- Pierre-Antoine Rault: he added 'python-dbus' package.

- Ben Woodcroft: he added several bioinformatics packages.


People I added to THANKS (or should they be moved to AUTHORS?):

- Konrad Hinsen: he added some documentation.

- Cyprien Nicolas: he added 'guild' check to "configure.ac" and fixed a
  couple of typos.

- Yakkala Yagnesh Raghava: he fixed a typo in Nixpkgs URL.

- Alexander Shendi: he added 'libx11' input to 'mit-scheme' package.


I hope I didn't miss anyone.  The modified patch is attached.

LGTM!

I think we should consider generating ‘AUTHORS’ upon ‘make dist’
eventually, ideally with a list of those who contributed to the last
release, and then the list of all those who contributed at all.  Any
takers?  :-)

I can try.  IIUC it requires:

- adding a script (let's say "generate-authors.scm") into "build-aux"
  directory that will call an appropriate "git log" command and mess
  with its output; something like this:


[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #2: generate-authors.scm --]
[-- Type: text/x-scheme, Size: 460 bytes --]

(use-modules (ice-9 popen)
             (ice-9 rdelim)
             (srfi srfi-1))

(define* (authors #:optional (range "HEAD"))
  "Return a list of authors for commit RANGE."
  (let* ((port (open-pipe* OPEN_READ
                           "git" "log" "--format=%aN <%aE>" range))
         (output (read-string port)))
    (close-port port)
    (let ((authors (string-split output #\newline)))
      (delete-duplicates authors))))

;; (authors "v0.8.2..HEAD")

[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 482 bytes --]


- adding a new target to "Makefile.am" (and to 'dist-hook' there).

Right?

However I see an issue with the autogenerated AUTHORS.  There will be
duplicates since people not always use a single name/e-mail.  For
example, there are:

Joshua S. Grant <youlysses@riseup.net>
Joshua S. Grant <jgrant@parenthetical.io>
Joshua Grant <tadni@riseup.net>
Guy Grant <tadnimi@gmail.com>

or even:

I'm against.  

The measure of contribution of any one individual cannot be determined by
any parametric algorithm.  

Attempting to generate such a list might lead to people makeing trivial or
frivolous contributions in order to get their name in the list.

The proper way to fix this (and this should probably be done with or
without this patch) is to use a .mailmap[1] file in our git repo. This
will allow us to group all commits of an author even if they used
different emails/name spellings.

Well, I don't think that will happen, or that it would be such an issue
:) Still, it feels nice to have your name included in THANKS/AUTHORS
because someone actually thought "damn, this developer does a lot of
work, how is their name not in AUTHORS ?". Having a make target adding
it is a bit "meh", imho.

Nice, didn’t know that.  I guess we should create a .mailmap based on
the current AUTHORS file, which is authoritative.  Alex, are you willing
to do that?

Thanks!

‘THANKS’ definitely has to be maintained manually, for the reason you
give.  There are people who are helping in ways that do not involve Git
commits, and we want to acknowledge that.

‘AUTHORS’ is meant to list people who contributed code, so generating it
is fine IMO.

Wow, great!  I didn't know about this feature, thank you!

Yes, I will do that.  But before sending a patch I have some questions
to people about their "canonical" names/e-mails that should be put in
.mailmap:

- Ricardo: <ricardo.wurmus@mdc-berlin.de> or <rekado@elephly.net>?

- Mark: Mark H Weaver or Mark H. Weaver?

- Amirouche: "amz3 <amirouche@hypermove.net>" or "Amirouche Boubekki
  <amirouche.boubekki@gmail.com>"?  (I suppose these belongs to a single
  person)

- Ben: <b.woodcroft@uq.edu.au> or <donttrustben@gmail.com>?

- Christopher: Christopher Allan Webber or Christopher A. Webber?

- Tomáš: <sleep_walker@suse.cz> or <sleep_walker@gnu.org>?

- Taylan: Taylan Ulrich Bayirli/Kammer or Taylan Ulrich Bayırlı/Kammer?

- David: <dthompson2@worcester.edu> or <dthompson@member.fsf.org>?

- Cyprien Nicolas: Nicolas is a name, right?  So I think the preferable
  form would be "Nicolas Cyprien", no?


P.S.: I Cc-ed all the people, so make sure to remove them all during
answering to prevent spamming them.

[PATCH] Add '.mailmap'.

[Alex Kost]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 242 bytes --]

Thanks to all for answering!  As may be checked with:

  git shortlog --email | grep -e '^[^ ]'

after applying the attached patch there will be a unique entry for each
contributor.  So now "git log" may be used to generate an AUTHORS file.

[PATCH] build: Generate 'AUTHORS'.

[Alex Kost]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 470 bytes --]

I hope the number of commits by each contributor in the generated
AUTHORS file addresses (at least partially) John's concerns about
«the measure of contribution».

The new "build-aux/generate-authors.scm" file may be tested like so:

  guile ~/src/guix/build-aux/generate-authors.scm ~/src/guix /tmp/guix-authors


Not related: I wonder is there a reason to ignore (in .gitignore) the
whole "build-aux" directory?  IIUC this led to commit 8bc35f8, right?

As you have pointed out and to be more explicit about the context, the
commit 8bc35f8 was introduced because of a falsely ignored file from
"build-aux" directory, which should have be bundled with commit 9d3fb6c.

IMO in order to avoid such mistakes, only specific files in "build-aux"
dir should be added to ".gitignore".  I can send a patch to fix this (if
everybody is OK with the change of course).  :)
