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.

extra/breeze 5.9.5-1 (plasma)
    Artwork, styles and assets for the Breeze visual style for the Plasma Desktop

Description:

extra/bogofilter 1.2.4-2.hyperbola2
    A fast Bayesian spam filtering tool, without noncommercial files

That shall be clarified better in description.

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

Please don’t use “commercial” as a synonym for “nonfree.” That confuses two entirely different issues.

This package contains vague terminology “Commercial”:

extra/bogofilter 1.2.4-2.hyperbola2
    A fast Bayesian spam filtering tool, without noncommercial files

According to:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Commercial”, please see here:

This package contains vague terminology “Open Source”:

community/beignet 1.3.1-2
    An open source OpenCL implementation for Intel IvyBridge+ iGPUs

According to:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Open Source”, please see here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Open

It would be good example to set to have proper description of packages without using “Open Source”.

eg.

A free software OpenCL implementation for Intel IvyBridge+ iGPUs

community/backuppc 4.1.2-1
     Enterprise-grade system for backing up Linux, Windows and MacOS PCs

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.

Further words such as Windows and MacOS shall be removed as they steer users towards proprietary software.

Description:

community/avrdude 1:6.3-2
    Download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM contents of AVR microcontrollers

Description is vague because of the word “content”. The word itself is fine in English language, but here it is used out of the proper context. And it is not not necessary at all. When one knows what is the abbreviation of ROM, such as Read-Only Memory, then any mentioning of contents of ROM is needless. It is enough to say: “Download/upload/manipulate the ROM and EEPROM of AVR microcontrollers”

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

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.

This package contains vague terminology “Open Source”:

extra/assimp 3.3.1-1
    Portable Open Source library to import various well-known 3D model formats in an uniform manner

According to:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Open Source”, please see here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Open

It would be good example to set to have proper description of packages without using “Open Source”.

eg.

Portable Free Software library to import various well-known 3D model formats in an uniform manner

extra/asp 1-1
     Arch Linux build source file management tool

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.

I propose to change the name of the package and software itself to be hgsp or hsp instead asp, and that description says “Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre build source file management tool”

Description:
I believe the arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc package to be broken as described here.

Additional info:
* package version(s) - arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc - all versions

Steps to reproduce:
I don’t think “steps to reproduce” to be relevant in this case. My forum topic linked above already contains all the necessary info on the subject :) However, one could try compiling glibc and busybox as described here. Yes, these are instructions for debian-like systems. They have to be adapted accordingly

extra/arch-install-scripts 17-1
     Scripts to aid in installing Arch Linux

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.

The package name shall be changed to hyperbola-install-scripts

and references to operating system such as Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre shall be amended.

     A free MS Word reader for Linux and RISC OS

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.

extra/aiksaurus 1.2.1-5
    A cross-platform, open-source thesaurus

According to:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html

We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Open Source”, please see here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Open

It would be good example to set to have proper description of packages without using “Open Source”.

eg.

A cross-platform, free-software thesaurus
