In English, phrases don't end with a full stop. As has been argued elsewhere in this thread, using full stops (periods, dots) is unnecessary, redundant, and ugly. It is my professional opinion, as an English teacher, that we should *never* use full stops in DESCRIPTION fields. If we are to use a repoman warning, we should encourage people to NOT use a full stop at the end of their description phrases. Also, the package name should not be repeated as part of the description. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
