Package: mblaze Version: 0.2-1 Severity: minor The mblaze package description looks terrible in aptitude (and probablypackages.d.o) because it doesn't do list formatting correctly.
The correct way to do list formatting is two spaces, then an asterisk
and then a space and then the text.
Examples below:
$ aptitude show mblaze | sed -n -e '/^Description/{ :a; p;' -e 'n; /^ /ba; }; '
Description: UNIX utilities to deal with Maildir
The mblaze message system is a set of Unix utilities to deal with mail kept in
Maildir folders. It is a classic command line MUA and has no features for
receiving or transferring mail; you are expected to fetch your mail using
fdm(1), getmail(1) offlineimap(1), procmail(1), or similar , and send it using
dma(8), msmtp(1), sendmail(8), as provided by OpenSMTPD, Postfix, or similar.
mblaze expects your mail to reside in Maildir folders.
Its design is roughly inspired by MH, the RAND Message Handling System, but it
is a complete implementation from scratch. mblaze operates directly on Maildir
folders and doesn't use its own caches or databases. There is no setup needed
for many uses.
mblaze consists of these Unix tools that each do one job: maddr(1) extract
addresses from mail magrep(1) find mails matching a pattern mcom(1)
compose and send mail mdeliver(1) deliver messages or import mailboxes
mdirs(1) find Maildir folders mexport(1) export Maildir folders as
mailboxes mflag(1) change flags (marks) of mail mflow(1) reflow
format=flowed plain text mails mfwd(1) forward mail mgenmid(1) generate
Message-IDs mhdr(1) extract mail headers minc(1) incorporate new mail
mless(1) conveniently read mail in less(1) mlist(1) list and filter
mail messages mmime(1) create MIME messages mmkdir(1) create new Maildir
mpick(1) advanced mail filter mrep(1) reply to mail mscan(1)
generate one-line summaries of mail msed(1) manipulate mail headers
mseq(1) manipulate mail sequences mshow(1) render mail and extract
attachments msort(1) sort mail mthread(1) arrange mail into discussions
$ aptitude show apt | sed -n -e '/^Description/{ :a; p;' -e 'n; /^ /ba; }; '
Description: commandline package manager
This package provides commandline tools for searching and managing as well as
querying information about packages as a low-level access to all features of
the libapt-pkg library.
These include:
* apt-get for retrieval of packages and information about them from
authenticated sources and for installation, upgrade and removal of packages
together with their dependencies
* apt-cache for querying available information about installed as well as
installable packages
* apt-cdrom to use removable media as a source for packages
* apt-config as an interface to the configuration settings
* apt-key as an interface to manage authentication keys
$ apt-cache show mblaze | sed -n -e '/^Description/{ :a; p;' -e 'n; /^ /ba; }; '
