This is something we cannot change. Right, some of those are false positives, but "Contacts addressbook" could quite easily become "Easy to use address book" -- I guess it's mainly preference. > More examples of false positives: > * asylum SDL port of the game Asylum, originally for the What's so important about SDL?

"A program that ejects removable media" -- but I agree the others are false positives. > I'm not criticizing your script, I just want to point out that it's > not as many packages as you might think and for others there is > nothing we can do about it. You've every right to complain about my script, it is a cheap hack, and the first (and probably last time) I'll try to contact package maintainers directly. Before I sent the emails, I followed all the giudelines people gave me. For reference, nobody told me before in any of the 200+ posts to include the FAS username, and I was told to email pkname-owner rather than the fas owner email address. If I spammed people; I apologise. As a point of interest, _tons_ of people have modified spec files in the last 24 hours, so I consider the activity worthwhile, even if some people are pretty pissed off at me.
