--- Begin Message ---Package: procps Version: 1:3.2.8-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch Every summer I run through the descriptions for high-priority and/or high-popcon packages, looking for the ones that need any work. Last year I had this one down as not worth the effort of a bug report, but this time round it's made it onto my list. # Description: /proc file system utilities # These are utilities to browse the /proc filesystem, which is not a real file # system but a way for the kernel to provide information about the status of # entries in its process table. (e.g. running, stopped or "zombie") # Both command line and full screen utilities are provided. Ncurses is needed # for the full screen utilities. More information can be found at procps # website http://procps.sf.net/ # . # This package includes the following utilities: top, uptime, tload, # free, vmstat, watch, skill, pmap, pgrep, slabtop and pwdx. Wishlist-level gripes: * procfs really is a file system (just not a writing-to-disk FS); * odd punctuation: period, open bracket, lowercase "e"; * the Depends: line takes care of ncurses, no need to explain it; * add a "Harvard comma" in that list (just a matter of taste); * point at the homepage with a Homepage: line; The one that makes this worth submitting as "Severity: minor": * that's a strangely selective contents catalogue - it omits kill, pkill, ps, snice, sysctl, and w! My suggested replacement is: Homepage: http://procps.sf.net/ [...] Description: /proc file system utilities This package provides command line and full screen utilities for browsing procfs, a "pseudo" file system dynamically generated by the kernel to provide information about the status of entries in its process table (such as whether the process is running, stopped, or a "zombie"). . It contains free, kill, pkill, pgrep, pmap, ps, pwdx, skill, slabtop, snice, sysctl, tload, top, uptime, vmstat, w, and watch. Mind you, as with bsdutils (bug #482098), coreutils (#535458), etcetera, I can't help feeling that the only sensible long-term solution for contents-catalogues like this would be to maintain them automatically via some sort of standard debhelper tool... -- JBR Ankh kak!
