5 $ echo "New net-firewall/shorewall all-in-one package" | wc -c

8 The glep says the title must be 44 chars, max. You're over by a couple
9 chars.
10
11 Abbreviating "package" to "pkg" would do it... but to my eye/ear seems a
12 bit less formal than desired.
13
14 What about:
15
16 net-firewall/shorewall now a single package
17
18
19 wc -c says 44. =:^)
20
21 But I'm not wedded to either idea; they're just what I came up with off
22 the top of my head. If someone has a better idea...
23
24
25 (FWIW I had a /terrible/ time finding that glep on the new website to
26 double-check, and it's good I did as I thought it was 42, but that's a
27 gripe for a new thread...)
