Description Brent Fox 2002-05-27 15:30:12 UTC
When running 'rpm -qi mew-common', I see the following:

[root@aspen bfox]# rpm -qi mew
package mew is not installed
[root@aspen bfox]# rpm -qi mew-common
Name        : mew-common                   Relocations: (not relocateable)

Summary     : Mew - Common files of Messagin in the Emacs World
Description :
Messaging in the Emacs World. It provides a very easy user interface
to email, MIME, and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) on Emacsen.


Look at the Summary field: "Messagin" is missing a trailing "g"

Also, in the Description field:  Is "Emacsen" proper terminology?

Comment 1 Tammy Fox 2002-05-28 03:16:02 UTC
I fixed the misspelled words in specspo/dist/C.po for mew-common and mew-xemacs.
It should be fixed in the spec file also if the error is duplicated.

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2002-05-28 04:17:25 UTC
I think 'Emacsen' is proper. 'Emacsen' means all emacs series. it's used popularly.
Search it with any search engines.

Misspelling issue:
the .spec file this package has is no problem. so I reassign it to specspo.


Comment 3 Brent Fox 2002-05-28 13:23:08 UTC
'Emacsen' may be popular, but it's certainly not the proper English way to refer
all Emacs series.  Why not just say 'all versions of Emacs'?

For example, 'boxen' is a popular way to refer to lots of machines, but you
certainly won't see "You can use kickstart to script the install on many boxen"
in the Red Hat documentation.  'Emacsen' is slang, and we don't use slang (not
even hacker slang) in our docs; we shouldn't do it in spec files either.

Reassigning back to mew.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2002-06-24 14:41:05 UTC
the description was fixed on 2.2-5.
