Bug#440641: www.debian.org: packages.debian.org should explain "gnuab"
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
I went to look at the new packages.d.o site, and eventually found myself
looking at
http://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/3ddesktop
Now, it says
Package: 3ddesktop (0.2.9-6) [gnuab]
My question was, "what's gnuab"? Is it a typo for something? Well,
eventually found that out fom the d-d-a@lists post, but how is a regular
user, who does not subscribe to d-d-a, going to figure it out?
My suggestion is to have the "gnuab" word (and any other similar word) to be
a link to an explanatory page.
