It also goes against the recommendations in the Best Packaging Practices section of the Developer's Reference 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. -- \ “No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.” | `\ —Turkish proverb | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

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. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Of course. PL/Perl, PL/Python and PL/TCL are with short description "PL/*** procedural language for PostgreSQL 8.X. I beliave that describe wrote per Steinar is better and more clean.

Sure, if it would make sense for it to be capitalised that way in an
appositive clause. PL is an acronym used within the PostgreSQL project
for "procedural language (that can be dynamically loaded)".
The test to apply is: does the synopsis make sense if it is put into
the following template:
