[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#979414: zfs-zed: please improve package long description

[Andrei POPESCU]

Package: zfs-zed
Version: 0.8.6-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

In addition to the common description for all ZFS packages the 
description only mentions:

    This package provides the OpenZFS Event Daemon (zed).


For people that are unfamiliar with ZFS it is unclear what this Event 
Daemon does and why a ZFS user would want this installed.

The package is also recommended by zfsutils-linux, so it should be 
installed in all by unusual configurations.

As far as I understand from zed(8), the description could be improved by 
adding something like:


    [...] which can be used to monitor events from ZFS (zevents) and 
    trigger various actions (ZEDLETs) in response.


Some info on why most ZFS users should have this installed would also be 
very good (or it should be demoted to a Suggests of zfsutils-linux 
instead).

Kind regards,
Andrei
