Well, unless someone comes up with a 'proper' description I don't think we'll get anywhere. Tell me what you want to see. We can't explain the whole field of genetics in one line. Pj. On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 04:08:54PM +0200, Andreas Enge wrote: > On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 01:51:15PM +0200, Pjotr

Package descriptions I follow are the same as those by the software developers. If people care about jargon feel free to fix it. I am happy with the original descriptions from the software authors. Spelling it out won't help any users. Personally I don't see why we have to stop this patch. Pj.
