The following line in the RFP says:
Vite is a frontend build tool, including development server and build
command bundling code with Rollup, pre-configured to output optimized
static assets for production.
That is the long description. I have to view the details for a package
to access the long description, and it still does not tell me anything
about the package that would help me make a decision whether I want to
install it.
The most information is contained in the package name, which suggests
that this belongs to the NodeJS ecosystem, and this is obvious to me
only because I know that ecosystem exists and uses this naming
convention within Debian.
I have no idea how it fits into that system, and which specific problems
it solves, so even if I were a NodeJS user, I still could not use this
to decide whether I want to install it.
The target audience for descriptions is "users who do not know the
software yet."
