Package: dns2tcp
Version: 0.5.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
While the content of the package description is good, the English
would benefit from some minor fixes.
> Description: TCP over DNS tunnel client and server
X-over-Y should probably be hyphenated (if only for consistency with
the case below). I would also suggest mentioning server and client in
that order.
> dns2tcp is a set of tools allowing to encapsulate a TCP session in DNS
^^^^^^^^^^^
"Allowing to" (without an object) is ungrammatical. But it's a set of
tools for encapsulating things, not allowing things, so just say that.
> packets. This type of encapsulation generates smaller packets compeared to
^
Typo: "compared to". But say "than".
> ip-over-DNS tools, thus allows a better throughput. The client does not need
"IP" has got just as much right to uppercase as TCP and DNS!
"Thus allows" is ungrammatical in a different way, and again it's not
a matter of granting permission, so just say "improving throughput".
> root priledges.
^ ^
A rare variant of the usual "priviledge" typo.
I recommend:
| Description: TCP-over-DNS tunnel server and client
| dns2tcp is a set of tools to encapsulate a TCP session in DNS packets.
| This type of encapsulation generates smaller packets than IP-over-DNS,
| improving throughput. The client does not need root privileges.
