My US$0.02: I think removing the 1-line pkg-comment file would be
wonderful. We should use instead the first line of pkg-descr. This
means, of course, that almost all pkg-descr files would have to be
updated.
I prefer making it the first line rather than tagged with COMMENT:
for a couple of reasons:
= Makes it easy to fetch the line: head -n 1 pkg-descr
= When you have only one line, it is a shame to waste characters
with a tag like COMMENT.
I prefer putting the comment in pkg-descr rather than in the Makefile
because it makes sense to have one file for the description of the
package. One shouldn't have to describe a package in two files.
Cheers,
