Package: linuxlogo
Version: 4.05-1

It looks really ugly when linux_logo makes a line over 80 char wide,
thus breaking the logo in half.  This happens often in the CPU
identifier line, eg here is the relevant line (wrapped at 80 chars) on
three of my machines.

The "Compiled #1 SMP Fri Nov 29 02:15:39 MST 2002" could also be
stripped down to its essentials: the "SMP" should be after the linux
version in parens on the prev line; the "#X" could go; the day of the
week could go; the time should be converted and displayed display in
the local timezone; and the day-of-week and fractions-of-minute don't
seem critical.  (Really when you sit down at a machine it is not clear
to me that the exact time of kernel compilation is of particular
interest, but I digress.)

In the case of Debian, it would also be nice to include the version of
Debian, maybe on a line above the kernel version.

Just some suggestions - I love linuxlogo and it is displayed at the
login promp on all my machines!

Hi,

I contacted the upstream, this is the response:

"The format string for the output is fully customizable with config files,"
in new versions.

So the bug is not relevant anymore.
