Package: jsvc-dev
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: minor
Hi. I noticed that the jsvc-dev package has recently been added to the
archives, but when I looked at the description I couldn't actually find
out what the package does.
The description begins with a description of a real-world problem,
followed by an explanation of how daemons are handled under windows and
linux. At no point does the description actually explain what the
jsvc-dev package does. Does it solve the problem that is described in
the description? Does it emulate services under windows and/or linux, or
does it do something different? The word "java" is never mentioned at
all.
The libcommons-daemon-java package is slightly better, in that it says
"This is the java library, see jsvc for the application". Here I can
tell that the package contains a java library that does _something_, but
again the long description never says what this library does.
Thanks - Ben.
