That thread is pretty odd. |

|

First, a sentence does not need to have a predicate. I know that for 99% |
29 |
sure in german and the english wikipedia article seems to suggest the |
30 |
same. Correct me if I am wrong. |
31 |
|
32 |
Second, there are valid descriptions that are full ordinary sentences |
33 |
without referencing ${PN}: |
34 |
"Access a working SSH implementation by means of a library". |
35 |
|
36 |
In addition, repoman doesn't check for full sentences that reference |
37 |
${PN}, such as: |
38 |
"Portage is the package management and distribution system for Gentoo". |
39 |
|
40 |
So we have another (useless) repoman warning with false positives. |
