(Get the code!)
The short description of many packages is too long to fit in the small window of the update manager. As an example I attached a screenshot from today. As you can see there, some "Free implementation of the...." is updated multiple times. The difference is just:
- Ope
- EGL
- EGL-A
- GL-A
and the rest is truncated. I hardly believe that any user (casual, heavy) think that these description stubs are more informative, than just the package names. The description stubs are more like a riddle what gets updated.
Please display again the package names! Than you can get at least a glimpse what gets updated. For more information the technical description can be used.
