<p>tag as one source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{one source |date=March 2024}}<br /> In [[free and open source software]] and [[inner source]] software, a [[Computer software|software]] &#039;&#039;&#039;maintainer&#039;&#039;&#039; or package maintainer is usually one or more people who build [[source code]] into a [[Executable|binary]] [[Software package (installation)|package]] for [[Software deployment|distribution]], commit [[Patch (computing)|patches]], or organize code in a [[Codebase|source repository]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web| url=https://www.linux.com/news/ols-kernel-documentation-and-submitting-kernel-patches/| title=OLS: Kernel documentation, and submitting kernel patches| author=David &quot;cdlu&quot; Graham| publisher=Linux.com| date=2008-07-25| accessdate=2008-08-20 }}&lt;/ref&gt; If the maintainer stops doing their work on the project, then the development of the project stops. If another person not associated with the maintainer releases a new version of the project, it is said that a [[Fork (software development)|fork]] has been created. So for example happened with [[uClibc]].<br /> <br /> Maintainers often [[digital signature|cryptographically sign]] binaries so that people can verify their authenticity.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Software maintenance]]<br /> *[[Software developer]]<br /> *[[Code review]]<br /> *[[List of software package management systems]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Software maintenance]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{software-eng-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[fi:Ylläpitäjä]]</div>
