Hi, While browsing packages in aptitude, I ran into some packages that, to me, seem to be in the wrong section (or at least it's not obvious why they are in the section they are). Section: python seems to be especially bad, I wonder if the rationale was just "it was written in Python". These all are in the python section and I can't determine from their description why they are there:
------------------------------------------------------------ bzr-gtk - provides graphical interfaces to Bazaar (bzr) version control calendarserver - Apple's Calendar Server clearsilver-dev - headers and static library for clearsilver epylog - New logs analyzer and parser fusil - Fuzzing program to test applications phenny - extensible IRC bot written in Python planet - Flexible feed aggregator planet-venus - aggregate feed generator pootle - Web-based translation and translation management tool pyslide - Tiny but powerful program to make animated presentations synce-kpm - KDE device manager for Windows Mobile devices system-config-printer - graphical interface to configure the printing system trac-bzr - Bazaar version control (bzr) backend for Trac trac-mercurial - Mercurial version control backend for Trac trac-spamfilter - Spam-prevention plugin for Trac wapiti - Web application vulnerability scanner wmi-client - DCOM/WMI client implementation ------------------------------------------------------------ And in Section: perl: ------------------------------------------------------------ jirc - an IRC to Jabber bridge bot mapivi - Photo viewer and organizer with emphasis on IPTC fields openguides - A web application for managing a collaboratively-written city guide simba - next generation mirroring tool svk - A Distributed Version Control System websimba - web interface for simba ------------------------------------------------------------ (NOTE: Am I the only one who thinks descriptions, especially short descriptions as in phenny, usually shouldn't tell what language was used to implement the program? It's just not relevant to the user.) Well, I don't know if you agree with me that "written in Python" is a poor reason to put a package in the python section, I couldn't find anything about it in the New Maintainers' Guide, for example. But if you do, perhaps a note should be added to the NMG, given how common this seems to be. Sami -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
