At the moment I'm thinking PK should just do this: So now you are defining a new gnome-PK only syntax that won't work in yum, rpm, urpmi, apt, synaptic, gnorpm, yumex, anaconda, LSB rpm, etc and will encourage people to produce badly encoded descriptions instead of fixing their text. And you can't even be bothered to get it reviewed at the distro level (let alone upstream rpm or lsb-side) While you are at it, please also integrate a spell and grammar checker so users are not exposed to spelling and grammar mistakes and packagers do not have to worry about grammar or spell problems. Seriously. This stuff is already defined and standardised. You may not like what the currebt official choices are, but workarounding them at your app level instead of fixing them at the right level (upstream, ie in this case in the distro spec files) is not the right thing to do. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
