improving package descriptions (was: Bug#409367: ITP: iceape-locales -- language packs for Iceape)
[ removing -wnpp and the bug report from the CC list ] * Mike Hommey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [070205 23:34]: Is there any particular reason for iceape-l10n-* being a better name then iceape-locale-*? consistency. end users and dumb people like me like it when they don't have to learn package naming schemes again and again for every group of packages. dreammaybe, we can even have a consistency within all debian packages for lenny (I don't care so much if it is *-i18n-* or *-l10n-*)./dream dreamnot only for names but for short descriptions[1], or even better, long descriptions, too/dream 1. development files for libfoo, libfoo -- development files, Header files and static libraries for libfoo, libfoo (development headers), libfoo (development package), etc. Wasn't there some time ago a project trying to improve package descriptions? Perhaps after the release would be the perfect time to revive it? Yours sincerely, Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is there any particular reason for iceape-l10n-* being a better name then iceape-locale-*? locale usually is meant for a locale, ie the definition of parameters that characterize a langage/country combination l10n is meant for localisation which means the action of translating an internationalised software in a set of languages (as well as make it support other locale-related parameters) i18n is meant for internationalisation which means the actions of making a given software ready for localisation, but not the action of localisation itself. For all these reasons, l10n sounds to be the most appropriate to me. I can guess that KDE packages' i18n is mostly here for historical reasons, but I understand it as slightly incorrect. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
