Ok. I just didn't want to make it too long, but I see a number of packages have lengths > 80. Corinna, please use the following, or your wording, or adjust however you want: sdesc: "Print a random, hopefully interesting, adage; may contain offsensive material" category: Games requires: cygwin libiconv2 > That said, is there a reason your setup.hint doesn't have an ldesc? I couldn't think of what to say? Almost 10% of packages don't have one.
