From 59757402f8ce4425efd0fe1bf07f13a01adb5b22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Sokolovsky Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 13:41:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Botbrew Basil: Elaborate summary and description. Summary of "Alternative package management" doesn't say anything at all. It's all about Debian package management (with batteries included), and cannot be simplified beyond that. Start description with giving user a context what Botbrew Basil is, and only then switch to diffs from previous version and extra details (which are extended based on my hacking with it). Spray in wiki links generously. --- metadata/com.botbrew.basil.txt | 20 ++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/metadata/com.botbrew.basil.txt b/metadata/com.botbrew.basil.txt index 47ceeb6e42..515b926fa0 100644 --- a/metadata/com.botbrew.basil.txt +++ b/metadata/com.botbrew.basil.txt @@ -4,13 +4,21 @@ Web Site:http://botbrew.com Source Code:https://github.com/jyio/botbrew-gui Issue Tracker:https://github.com/jyio/botbrew-gui/issues -Summary:Alternative package management +Summary:Debian package management Description: -This is Botbrew Basil and uses dpkg, compared to Botbrew Anise which uses -opkg.
