Bug#425963: libglazedlists-java-doc has inadequate package description
Package: libglazedlists-java-doc Version: 1.7.0.dfsg-1 This package contains the documentation for libglazedlists-java. is an inadequate description. it's also redundant - the package name alone tells the user that it is documentation for a java library. what the desc should provide is a brief description of what libglazedlists is/does. btw, don't assume that someone reading the description for a -doc package has already read the desc for the lib package, or vice-versa, or that they have encountered the software on the previously. the description for all related packages should assume that the reader has no prior knowledge of what the package is, so should provide a brief description/summary. this bug probably applies to the other libglazedlists packages. dunno, haven't checked. craig -- craig sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Agreed. I've fixed the description in svn, my sponsor will probably upload the new revision in a few days after his vacancy. Thank for bringing this issue up!

Thank for bringing this issue up! thanks for fixing it so quickly. desc bugs like these aren't urgent...they can wait until the next upload (for packages with a reasonably rapid dev cycle, anyway). craig -- craig sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
