#346: Add a warning for synopsis being a prefix of the description ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Many packages provide useless descriptions, just repeating the synopsis. Three (all from different authors, and only looking at those with "string" as a substring of the name!) include stringtable-atom, bytestring-csv and packedstring. Suggestion: Give a warning when the synposis is a prefix of the description. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/346 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
