2013-02-27 13:37:44 Matthew Paul Thomas description For the binary packages libegl-mesa, libegl1-mesa-dbg, libegl1-mesa-dev, libegl1-mesa-drivers, and libegl1-mesa-drivers-dbg: 1. The package titles (Synopses) don't even mention Mesa. They all start with "Free implementation of the EGL API --", which is makes them look identical in a list of software updates. <https://twitter.com/dylanmccall/status/306619770525061120> I suggest that they be changed to "Mesa OpenGL Graphics", "Mesa OpenGL Graphics — debugging symbols", "Mesa OpenGL Graphics — hardware drivers", and so on. 2. The package descriptions all seem to contradict themselves. They all have a first paragraph that begins "This package contains the EGL native platform graphics interface library", but then have a second paragraph that begins "This package contains..." followed by their actual contents. If the packages *together* make up the library, then the first sentence would be better as "...contains part of of...", but better still would be a sentence describing what Mesa actually is.

They all start with "Free implementation of the EGL API --", which is very wordy when they are listed together. <https://twitter.com/dylanmccall/status/306619770525061120> I suggest that they be changed to "Mesa OpenGL Graphics", "Mesa OpenGL Graphics — debugging symbols", "Mesa OpenGL Graphics — hardware drivers", and so on. 2.
