Description:

$ marble-qt –latlone=0.5,6.5
Ignoring to load the following file since it doesn’t look like a valid Marble plugin: “/usr/lib/marble/plugins/libWlocatePositionProviderPlugin.so” Reason: “Cannot load library /usr/lib/marble/plugins/libWlocatePositionProviderPlugin.so: (libwlocate.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)”

When package libwlocate is installed, it is not showing this error.

Shall that package be dependency?

Description:

community/xwax 1.6-1
     Open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

extra/xorg-xev 1.2.2-1 (xorg-apps xorg)
    Print contents of X events

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not say “X events information”. At least description shall be changed which is very public. For man page I am not sure.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

community/wxcam 1.1-9
     Webcam application for linux

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/wireshark-qt 2.2.6-1
     a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - Qt frontend

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/wireshark-gtk 2.2.6-1
     a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - GTK frontend

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Please remove references to proprietary software.

Description:

community/wireshark-cli 2.2.6-1
     a free network protocol analyzer for Unix/Linux and Windows - CLI version

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

I would remove Unix and Windows from description as those words steer users towards non-free proprietary software.

Description:

extra/webkitgtk 2.4.11-6.hyperbola1
    Legacy Web content engine for GTK+ 3, without geoclue2 support

The description is vague. There is not even need to use “content” here. Web engine should be very clear. “Content” alone does not make sense.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

extra/webkit2gtk 2.16.1-3.hyperbola1 [installed]
    GTK+ Web content engine library, without geoclue2 support

The description is vague as it is using “content” in description. Why not say “elements” or something more descriptive.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

community/webfs 1.21-13
    Simple and instant http server for mostly static content.

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Why not simply say “files” instead and be more specific.

Even empty files without data inside can be served.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Content

Description:

The description of the package need to be changed to accommodate:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

To refer to published works as “assets”, or “digital assets”, is even worse than calling them “content” — it presumes they have no value to society except commercial value.

community/warsow-data 2.1.2-1.hyperbola2
    Free online multiplayer competitive FPS based on the Qfusion engine (data files), without nonfree assets

core/util-linux 2.29.2-2.hyperbola2 (base base-devel) [installed]
     Miscellaneous system utilities for Linux, with eudev and libeudev support

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description is referring to operating system, and not to the kernel itself (Linux). It shall be amended.

Description:

community/ussp-push 0.11-6
     OBEX object pusher for Linux

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/usb_modeswitch 2.5.0-1
     Activating switchable USB devices on Linux.

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

Tuxcards is seemingly published under some GPL license, on the splash screen I did not see which one.

The splash screen claims it is Donationware, which is bringing confusion.

Picture: https://gnu.support/images/issues/2018-06-17-21:35:41.png

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donationware

So either the splash screen shall be removed, as it is donationware, or author contacted, or package removed as it is unclear if it is free software or donationware. Free software can be sold, and if it is sold, then such software shall not ask for donations again in my opinion.

extra/tomboy 1.15.4-1
     Desktop note-taking application for Linux and Unix

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description is referring to operating system, and not to the kernel itself (Linux). It shall be amended.

Description:

community/tinyserial 20090305-2
     Small minicom replacement for accessing serial ports on Linux inspired by FreeBSD 'tip'

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Description:

community/tilda 1.3.3-2
     A Gtk based drop down terminal for Linux and Unix

See:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux

Yet it is unclear the license for the ROM file: /usr/lib/simh/ka655x.bin and if license is not free and/or source of VAX ROM is missing, this package is not free.
