There's a difference between foo : Foo is a ... and foo : Clients and shared libraries for Foo in particular for sub-packages and big package splits. In other words, _starting_ the summary with the program name should be avoided. Especially in Anaconda (but also other lists of packages) where the N-V-R is displayed and cryptic already, it is much more readable to present a summary that starts with what is contained within a package. foo-1.0-4.fc10 Image viewer bar-2.5-7.fc10 Text editor fubar-0.9-0.3.rc3.fc10 Download accellerator -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
