Bug#304325: linda: Please provide a more informative long description
Package: linda
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
as the recent thread on -devel [0] pointed out, there is a bit of
confusion about linda and lintian.
IMHO it would be a good idea to provide an improved description for
linda; I CCed -devel to hear also other opinions.
Here it is my proposal:
Linda is a Debian package checker that runs some rudimentary checks over
source and binary packages to see if they comply to Policy.
.
It is much like lintian, but it is faster and internationalized (l10n
strings for most errors, in German only at the moment). Linda is
developed in Python.
.
Since Linda and Lintian implement a different set of tests, you may
find useful to run both of them on your packages.
Please be patient with my english. :)
Thanks for your time.
ciao,
ema
