 So the short description can start with a capital letter?

Certainly, since PL is an acronym.

I'd say procedural language for PostgreSQL based on Lua would be a better
short description, though, but consistency with the others is nice to have as
well.

Bug#489824: ITP: pllua -- PL/Lua is an implementation of Lua as a loadable procedural language for PostgreSQL

2008-07-07 Thread Fernando Ike de Oliveira
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Fernando Ike de Oliveira [EMAIL PROTECTED]


* Package name: pllua
  Version : 0.8.1

* URL : http://pllua.projects.postgresql.org/
* License : MIT/X
  Programming Lang: C, Lua
  Description : PL/Lua is an implementation of Lua as a loadable procedural 
language for PostgreSQL

 PL/Lua is an implementation of Lua as a loadable procedural language for
 PostgreSQL: with PL/Lua you can use PostgreSQL functions and triggers
 written in the Lua programming language. 
 .
 It brings the power and simplicity of Lua to PostgreSQL, including: 
 small memory footprint, simple syntax, lexical scoping, functions as 
 first-class values, and coroutines for non-preemptive threading.

The Short Description is way too long.

The similar Ruby deb-src package name is postgresql-plruby.

The package name should match that of other procedural-language
extensions for PostgreSQL:

postgresql-plperl
postgresql-plpython
postgresql-plruby
postgresql-pltcl

 The Short Description is way too long.

It also goes against the recommendations in the Best Packaging
Practices section of the Developer's Reference
URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis.

On that basis, a better synopsis would be:

PL/Lua procedural language for PostgreSQL

which would also match that of existing procedural-language packages.
