I agree with Christian: if GPX isn't specific to Garmin devices, then we shouldn't mention Garmin Forerunner at all. It would just be an incomplete list.

As usual, I end up agreeing with Justin. I finally just wonder if we should specific about Garmin devices. After all, pytrainer can be used for about any kind of logging as long as you have GPX files...which is easy with software like gpsbabel. Of course, current Debian maintainers all use Garmin watches..:-)...but still...I think that one can do something with other stuff like Polar (dunno if they have GPS-enabled devices) or an Android phone or even (erk) an iPhone. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So: Description: tool for logging sport activities This package provides a logging tool for runners, cyclists, etc. It uses data from GPS-enabled devices that generate GPX files, such as the Garmin Forerunnner 205/305/405. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bubulle mantra: thou shalt avoid "you" and "your" in thy package descriptions..:-) Let's start a formal review by debian-l10n-english for this package which I intend to get more involved into. here's the current package description: Description: The Free Sport Training Center Pytrainer is a tool to log your sport activities. This software was originally thought for cyclists, but it can also be used for other resistance sports like running, swimming, skiing, and so on. Pytrainer is also able to generate detailed graphs and statistics with data retrieved from GPS-provided fitness devices. Erik's proposal: Description: Tool to log your sport activities Pytrainer is a tool to log all your sport excursion coming from GPS devices, including: * Garmin ForeRunnner 205, 305 and 405. * other devices that generate GPX files. My proposal: Description: sport activities logging software This package provides a tool to log sport activities (such as running, biking, etc.) with data originating from GPS devices, including: * Garmin ForeRunnner 205, 305 and 405; * other devices that generate GPX files. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Package: pytrainer Version: 1.8.0-1 Severity: minor Hello, the package description has the term "resistance sports" while refering to "endurance sports", proabably a wrong translation from Spanish or Portuguese. The short description "The Free Sport Training Center" is not really helping either. I suggest to use a slightly description from the upstream website[1]: "Pytrainer is a tool to log all your sport excursion coming from GPS devices, including: * Garmin ForeRunnner 205, 305 and 405. * other devices that generate GPX files. Pytrainer supports GPS track files and displays it in graphs, maps." and "Tool to log your sport activities" as short description.
