I just felt like hacking up, and now sharing, a script to gauge where there is overly much advertisement language in the descriptions of openSUSE TW packages.
I feel it would me more helpful to have some easily accessible guidelines with good vs. bad examples for new packages being added...

rpmlint forces people to write or copy BS simply because minimal no-BS descriptions result in length warnings.
rpmlint is practically useless - people complete ignore it, even for trivial things like "summary must not end in dot".
You mean those 51 packages: http://rpmlint.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory/x86_64/standard?rule=summa ry-ended-with-dot Let's clean this up and change rpmlint from a warning to an error :) That will teach people. Cheers Dominique
