Well, from what I understand, DESCRIPTION should generally stay the same |
| 8 |
between different versions of the same package. While two versions of |
| 9 |
the same package may have some slight differences, the general purpose |
| 10 |
of the package should remain the same, and DESCRIPTION is after all just |
| 11 |
a short general description. I don't see any/enough exceptions to |
| 12 |
warrant all the duplication and unnecessary complexity. |
