Bug#661689: Bad formatting of package description, perhaps improvable wording



Package: src:rheolef
Version: 5.93-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org

Dear Science Maintainers,
I found some typos and formatting errors in the package description
boilerplate (1). For your convenience I copied a new version into this mail.


Description: Finite elements for partial differential equations
 Rheolef is a computer environment that serves as a convenient
 laboratory for computations in applied mathematics, involving finite
 element-like methods. It provides a set of unix commands and C++
 algorithms and containers.
 .
 Containers cover first the classic graph data structure for sparse
 matrix formats and finite element meshes.
 .
 An higher level of abstraction is provided by containers related to
 approximate finite element spaces, discrete fields and bilinear forms.
 .
 Current applications cover
 .
  - Poisson problems in 1D 2D and 3D with P1 or P2 elements
  - Stokes problems in 2D and 3D, with P2-P1 or P1 bubble-P1 elements
  - linear elasticity in 2D and 3D, with P1 and P2 elements,
    including the incompressible and nearly incompressible elasticity
  - characteristic method for convection-diffusion, time-dependent
    problems and Navier-Stokes equations.
  - auto-adaptive mesh based for 2D problems
  - axisymmetric problems
  - multi-regions and non-constant coefficients
  - axisymmetric problems
 .
 Input and output in various file format for meshes generators
 and numerical data visualization systems (mayavi, vtk, plotmtv, gnuplot).


In this version there are some issues still not covered:
 - The easiest is the correct spelling of Unix (2).
 - I don't understand "auto-adaptive mesh based for 2D problems". Without
   "based" I would have an idea.
 - Isn't a non-constant coefficient just a variable one?
 - What are multi-regions coefficients?

Cheers,
   Martin
