Yeah, I spotted it while doing a vanity check :P Example output is probably going to be the easiest way to explain the problem. The following output is from herdstat v1.1.91 using libherdstat-0.2.0: $ herdstat -pd jnrowe Developer: jnrowe Email: jnrowe@gentoo.org Packages(2): app-text/diction www-client/surfraw or possibly: $ herdstat -pd jnrowe@ukfsn Developer: jnrowe@ukfsn Email: jnrowe@ukfsn Packages(2): app-text/diction www-client/surfraw which is approaching correct, or even: $ herdstat -pd jnrowe@bughunter Developer: jnrowe@bughunter Email: jnrowe@bughunter Packages(2): app-text/diction www-client/surfraw Whilst looking in to patching this myself I failed to see why the code works as it does, so I've opted it to leave it to someone who understands it. However I noticed while looking that it allows for other incorrect output because of the handling of @ symbols in the input: $ herdstat -pd ka0ttic@hopefully_bug_fixer Developer: Aaron Walker (ka0ttic@hopefully_bug_fixer) Email: ka0ttic@gentoo.org Packages(98): app-admin/chroot_safe app-admin/metalog ... Although perhaps I'm missing something and this is desired behaviour for something. Thanks for your time James jnrowe@gmail.com 2006-06-04 08:45:01 0000 The situation is possibly better than with the x86 keyworded 1.1.7_p7 in the original case: $ herdstat -pd jnrowe Failed to find any packages maintained by 'jnrowe'. and: $ herdstat -pd jnrowe@ukfsn.org Developer: jnrowe@ukfsn.org Email: jnrowe@ukfsn.org@gentoo.org Packages(2): app-text/diction www-client/surfraw halcy0n@gentoo.org 2008-01-20 02:03:50 0000 Punted this version from the tree.
