PackagesAnyFreedom IssueMediumLow [webfs]: vague terminology "Content" in description of  ...Closed
100%
Task Description

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

Task Description

Description:

community/iceweasel-no-resource-uri-leak 1.1.0-1 (iceweasel-addons)
    Deny resource:// access to Web content. Fill the hole to defend against fingerprinting.

Description is vague because of the word “content”. Does it deny to “content” or it denies to files, URLs or to what?

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

PackagesAnyFreedom IssueMediumLow [openstreetmap-map-icons-svn]: using vague "public doma ...Closed
100%
Task Description

Description:

community/openstreetmap-map-icons-svn 31588-1 [installed]
    A set of public domain licensed map icons for general OSM use

It is questionable if it is “Licensed” or dedicated.

See the file:
/usr/share/licenses/openstreetmap-map-icons/svg-twotone/LICENSE.txt

it does not matter if the file is named “LICENSE”, it could be also named anyhow else.

There must be reason why the organization Creative Commons is not using the word “License” in that text, and that is why I propose to simply say in description:

    A set of public domain map icons for general OSM use

100%
Task Description
community/autoconf-archive 1:2017.03.21-1
    A collection of freely re-usable Autoconf macros

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

Don’t use “freely available software” as a synonym for “free software.” The terms are not equivalent. Software is “freely available” if anyone can easily get a copy. “Free software” is defined in terms of the freedom of users that have a copy of it. These are answers to different questions.

Don’t use “freely available software” as a synonym for “free software.” The terms are not equivalent. Software is “freely available” if anyone can easily get a copy. “Free software” is defined in terms of the freedom of users that have a copy of it. These are answers to different questions.

PackagesAnyFreedom IssueMediumLow [linux-atm]: using term "under Linux" in vague sense Closed
100%
Task Description
core/linux-atm 2.5.2-4
     Drivers and tools to support ATM networking under Linux.

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

Let us not make it vague. If it refers to kernel, then let us say “Linux kernel”. If it refers to operating system, let us say so.

In general, packages referring to kernel as Linux which is correct, I am leaving alone and will not report it here. Only those referring to operating system name or when stated in vague manner.

100%
Task Description
core/man-pages 4.11-1 (base)
     Linux man pages

     Arch Linux build source file management tool
