Hi, if the short description is intended to be the one of your package, it is far too long. First of all, you do not need to repeat the package name at the beginning of the description. Then, you can replace the long list of operating systems by saying that ChessDB is multi-platform. As a result, you would have something like: Description: multi-platform chess database Then our users would know that they can invite their friends to use the same program on their favorite computer. Also, since the package would be in main, it is obvious that it is free. For the long description, you do not need to re-iterate the short description. How about listing the most important main features instead? Have a nice day, -- Charles Plessy http://charles.plessy.org Wako, Saitama, Japan
