Hi all, |
| 2 |
one thing i miss from my previous debian system was the long |
| 3 |
description that one can acces with 'apt-cache show <package>'. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I know that gentoo is a system for connected people (this means broad |
| 6 |
band in my country), this said, if you are online then you can go and |
| 7 |
check the web page of the project or do a search trough the web. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
But i miss the comfortability of checking some long descriptions at |
| 10 |
home, without the need to resort to search the web for every package |
| 11 |
that attracts my attention. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I used this method before to look for new apps in my system that i may |
| 14 |
need and didn't know before. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The questions would be: |
| 17 |
- why gentoo has decided that one line description is enough? |
| 18 |
- it's possible to implement long descriptions? (i mean in the |
| 19 |
political decision to do so, i know is technically viable with some |
| 20 |
LONG_DESCRIPTION item in ebuilds) |
