Package: vavoom
<br>
Version: 1.33-5
<br>
Severity: minor
<br>
<br>
This is a report of several problems with the descriptions, which
currently read:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<div id="pdesc" lang="en">
<h2>Advanced Doom/Heretic/Hexen/Strife engine</h2>
<p>
Vavoom is an engine based on sources of Doom, Heretic, Hexen
and
a little bit from Quake.
Vavoom requires game data to run. Free game data is available
in the
freedoom package. Commercial game data can be packaged using
game-data-packager.
</p>
<p>
Vavoom includes vlaunch: a graphical tool for configuring and
launching
vavoom. </p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
First, there is a pseudo paragraph switch after the extended
description's first sentence. But as you can see with the paste from
packages.debian.org above, the newline is not necessarily rendered.
There should be a real change of paragraph.<br>
<br>
Second, the first sentence is not really clear. What kind of sources
does it refer to? The source code of the engines of these games? If
so, that information probably doesn't need to be in the first
sentence, which should focus on explaining why one would want
vavoom. Clarifying the first sentence will probably suffice to
address the final issue, i.e. that the descriptions do not say what
vavoom is, even though one can infer that it is a game engine, and
those who know Doom or Quake will figure it's a FPS engine. I find
the short description unclear too - what is an "advanced
Doom/Heretic/Hexen/Strife engine"? I don't think the short
description should name other software (unless the software is very
well known, but what is Strife?).<br>
