Description Steve Bonneville 2007-07-26 17:49:01 UTC

Description of problem:

There are typos in the description of the kernel-xen RPM, and 
it could use clarification.

Currently READS:
This package includes a version of the Linux kernel which runs in Xen VM.  It
works for both priviledged and unpriviledged hosts.

Suggest SHOULD READ:
This package includes a Xen hypervisor and a version of the Linux kernel which
can run Xen VMs for privileged hosts and unprivileged paravirtualized hosts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5

Comment 1 Bill Burns 2008-04-30 14:08:14 UTC

Reassigning to the package maintainer.

Comment 2 Don Zickus 2008-04-30 14:34:11 UTC

Fair enough, I'll post this change for 5.3.

Out of curiosity, was this a customer request or something you noticed.  Just
wondering if I should go proof read the other descriptions too for proper English.

Comment 3 Steve Bonneville 2008-04-30 14:58:13 UTC

A customer and I discovered the description problem with the xen package
reported in bug #249719 during a training class, which led us to look at the
kernel-xen description, which led us to this bug.

If we can mess these up, my guess is that there are other descriptions that are
off; up to y'all to figure out how high a priority it is to do an editing
pass/bug hunt.  :)  I wonder if there's a way to run Summary and Description
through a spelling checker in a useful way when we QA?

Comment 4 Don Zickus 2008-04-30 15:17:03 UTC

hmm.  Spell checking is an interesting idea for rpmdiff maybe.  But I am all for
improving the text if it helps people understand the packages easier.

Sometimes it is the little things that makes Red Hat provide a better service. :-)

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2008-06-09 22:01:27 UTC
