New issue 486 by computer... at ...626...: Debian packages have wrong
description and title
http://code.google.com/p/gambas/issues/detail?id=486
1) The title becomes the description in the package due to a packaging
format error (see below).
2) Version information
Version: Gambas 3.5.1
Operating system: Linux
Distribution: Mint 16 Xfce x86_64
3) Explain clearly how to reproduce the bug or the crash.
Create a DEB-package for Ubuntu or Debian (doesn't matter)
Open it with GDebi -> title-field is filled with description instead of
title
To fix the bug, you need to add a new line, beginning with 1 space and
after that the description. On the line above that, you need to set the
title of the Gambas project.
This is in the control file of the DEB package (if you open the .deb file
as Archive with File Roller, it's in /DEBIAN/control)
Example:
Description: PROGRAMNAME
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM
Currently, the description of the program is where PROGRAMNAME should be.
This is wrong and causes this bug. (above example is the correct way)
