I: nxproxy: extended-description-is-probably-too-short N: N: The extended description (the lines after the first line of the N: "Description:" field) is only one or two lines long. The extended N: description should provide a user with enough information to decide N: whether they want to install this package, what it contains, and how it N: compares to similar packages. One or two lines is normally not enough to N: do this. N: N: Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.1 (General guidelines N: for package descriptions) and Debian Developer's Reference section 6.2.3 N: (The long description) for details. N: N: Severity: minor, Certainty: possible N: I: nxproxy: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man1/nxproxy.1.gz allows to allows one to N: N: Lintian found a spelling error in the manpage. Lintian has a list of N: common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary N: like a spelling checker does. N: N: If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help N: of gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool, N: please fix the error in the translations as well as the English text to N: avoid making the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this N: means you should also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding N: msgids in the *.po files. N: N: Severity: minor, Certainty: possible N: I: nxproxy: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/nxproxy.1.gz:23 N: N: This manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was N: intended. By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by N: groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus N: signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot N: cut and paste options, nor search for them easily. The Debian groff N: package currently forces "-" to be interpreted as a minus sign due to N: the number of manual pages with this problem, but this is a N: Debian-specific modification and hopefully eventually can be removed. N: N: "-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. If you really N: intend a hyphen (normally you don't), write it as "\(hy" to emphasise N: that fact. See groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and N: also the thread starting with N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481.h N: tml N: N: If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format, N: this tag may indicate a bug in the tool. Some tools convert dashes of N: any kind to hyphens. The safe way of converting dashes is to convert N: them to "\-". N: N: Because this error can occur very often, Lintian shows only the first 10 N: occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed N: occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run Lintian with the N: -d/--debug option. N: N: Refer to the groff_char(7) manual page for details. N: N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible N:
