Public bug reported: Lintian says
E: python3-intervals: description-synopsis-is-duplicated N: N: The first line of the extended Description: should not repeat the N: synopsis exactly. This indicates that either the synopsis is badly N: formed or that the extended description has been wrongly copied and N: pasted. N: N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 3.4.2 (The extended description) N: for details. N: N: Severity: error N: N: Check: fields/description N: I: python3-intervals: description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly "Python tools for handling intervals (ranges of comparable objects)." N: N: The package synopsis (also known as the "short" description, ie. the N: first line in the package's "Description:" field) either ends with a N: full stop "." character or starts another sentence. N: N: This is not necessary as the synopsis does not need to be a full N: sentence. It is recommended that a single descriptive phrase is used N: instead. N: N: Note also that the synopsis is not part of the rest of the "long" N: Description: field. N: N: Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.2 (The package N: synopsis, or short description) for details. N: N: Severity: info N: N: Check: fields/description N: I: python3-intervals: extended-description-is-probably-too-short N: N: The extended description (the lines after the first line of the N: "Description:" field) is only one or two lines long. The extended N: description should provide a user with enough information to decide N: whether they want to install this package, what it contains, and how it N: compares to similar packages. One or two lines is normally not enough to N: do this. N: N: Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.1 (General guidelines N: for package descriptions) and Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.3 N: (The long description) for details. N: N: Severity: info N: N: Check: fields/description N: and it's hard to argue with that. :-) The current description is " Description: Python tools for handling intervals (ranges of comparable objects). Python tools for handling intervals (ranges of comparable objects). . This package contains the Python 3 module." please could you improve it for the next upload? https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-descriptions ** Affects: intervals (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890562 Title: Improve package descriprion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intervals/+bug/1890562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
