--- Begin Message ---Package: debarchiver Version: 0.9.6 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The package description for debarchiver hasn't been updated since it was first released in Woody: # Description: Tool to handle Debian package archives # This tool can create a potato like file structure that dselect, # apt-get and similar tools can use for easier installation. # . # You just have to place the package files into a incoming # directory and the tool does the sorting (if you place the # generated '.changes' file there too). # . # OBSERVE! This package will create a cronjob that does the # actual sorting. Expecting readers to recognise the name of Debian 2.2 "Potato" might have made sense at the turn of the century, but for present-day users "a potato like file structure" sounds like word salad. It needs to say roughly what kind of layout it's talking about; fortunately there is some text in the man page that I can adapt. There are also a few non-nativisms ("a incoming") and stylistic problems ("OBSERVE!") in the text which I might as well fix with a rewrite. I would suggest: | Description: tool to handle Debian package archives | This tool can sort packages into a directory structure that apt-get | and similar tools can use as an installation source (arranged in an | old-style simple repository layout without package pools).
