This is something that we have really regressed on lately. Our =
pkg-descrs are becoming very terse, often simply repeating the COMMENT. =
Someone, I forget who, recently added a bunch of ports without even =
listing WWW. We have many ports broken into sections or variants where =
they all share the same descr, so now I have no idea which one I =
actually want to install.

Folks, the descr is our catalogue; it=E2=80=99s the first place that =
end-users learn about ports and decide which one they=E2=80=99re looking =
for. Take the 2 minutes to write a meaningful description, and for =
crying out loud include a WWW link.
