This allows to have a description that fits with what upstream would have wanted for the package description which is, in my opinion, a desirable option to leave, even though it means having some kind of advirtising. So in my opinion it should only be """ The description should not be exceed round about ten lines of text and contain useful data about what the packaged software does """ This should rule out the obscure acronyms, since they are need to be explained to have 'useful data about what the packaged software does', but leave to the packager room for optional items like advertisement and author names. -- Pat -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
