Bug#775523: homebank: misleading long package description ("differs from gnucash...")

2017-07-09 Thread Francesco Namuri

hello,
thank you very much for the report, really sorry about the delay in the 
reply.


The idea behind the previous description was about the choice between 
one package
or the other one. GnuCash is, maybe, the most known Open Source software 
related to
personal finance, so the idea was somehow related to help the users in 
the choice.


And, yes, homebank is an alternative to gnucash for someone that's 
looking for
something simple and for someone that doesn't care about double 
accounting or

for some doesn't care about "small companies features".

Ciao,
Francesco

Long package description contains the following sentence:

It differs from gnucash for the better look and feel, and for the
greatest start-up speed.

which creates incorrect impression that Homebank is some sort of 
alternative
to GnuCash however Homebank is no match to GnuCash due to lack of 
support for
double entry accounting and small business features. Besides "gnucash" 
should
be written as "GnuCash". Also I reckon startup speed comparison if 
off-topic

in package description.

I recommend to remove problematic sentence entirely -- it is better not 
to

mention GnuCash at all.
