Bug#702916: Package description: data bank or database?
Package: src:biomaj
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org
Dear Debian Med Maintainers,
are you sure the package descriptions are what you intended to say?
Package: biomaj
Description: biological data-bank updater
BioMAJ downloads remote data banks, checks their status and applies
transformation workflows, with consistent state, to provide
ready-to-use
data for biologists and bioinformaticians. For example, it can
transform
original FASTA files into BLAST indexes. It is very flexible and its
post-processing facilities can be extended very easily.
Package: biomaj-properties
Description: biological data-bank updater - example properties files
This package contains a set of data bank properties files that can be
used as examples for BioMAJ. It contains descriptions for many existing
data banks with or without workflows to transform data. Some files may
require additional programs (such as BLAST) for post-processing.
I wonder what a "data bank" is. Did you intentionally use it instead of
database?
The first sentence of the long description for biomaj-properties also sounds
strange to me.
I would be glad if the suggested patch proves as improvement.
Kind regards,
Martin
