[Slackbuilds-users] slackbuilds.org/templates & Angband: current/historical maintainers information formatting/variants/updating?

[dchmelik at gmail.com]

I noticed http://slackbuilds.org/templates omits '<email>' at least in 
autotools-template.SlackBuild but many maintainers/staff also put that, 
and some don't put '<where you live>': should variants be clarified in 
templates?
     Earlier this year I passed angband.SlackBuild to my friend/mentor 
Ben Collver and mentioned updating maintainer information at 
angband.SlackBuild top, but he's been somewhat busy so hasn't got to 
that.  Some years ago (because I didn't want people seeing original 
maintainer first and bothering him) I removed 'Written by Marshall Scott 
[email]' but then read that's against policy so returned his line/name 
with style I saw  SlackBuilds.org (SBo) staff use, noting originally 
copyright by him (copyright is automatic).  Ben may be uncomfortable 
having copyright, so I emailed Marshall asking about formatting & 
potential change to WTFPL ( http://www.wtfpl.net/txt/copying , which is 
copyright not always said when linking WTFPL, because makes it 
equivalent to public domain except wherever organizations restrict/abuse 
public domain). Is a variant of format below suggested, and/or can staff 
perhaps advise Ben how to update right (I forgot if he's on this 
listserv/newsgroup or not)?  I'd like my line to be updated to the below 
or whatever format (without my location/email) SBo staff say. I don't 
need it still copyright me but waiting to hear from Marshall.
