Hi Alois,

this description however is arguably not productive. What does "manage" 
mean exactly?

* ext4 lets you manage your files in an effective & productive way
* dpkg lets you manage your files in an effictive & productive way
* vim lets you ...
* and so on

Based solely on that description, how do I, the user, browsing the 
Debian packages decide whether I want to install ext4, dpkg, vim or for 
the matter srcode?

As far as I can see "manage" is about as specific as the word "do": 
srcode lets you do "something" with your codebase. Now what is 
it **exactly** that srcode is offering? Could you please describe that 
both in the long as well as in the short description?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your constructive feedback!

I agree that the description lacks of clarity,
I'll take care of that in the package description &
will update that upstream too.

Thanks.

Cheers,

I can think of a lot of different ways in which I might manage codebases
more effectively, but I expect this doesn't do all of them; for example,
it looks as though it's more about managing multiple repositories rather
than being something like a refactoring tool or a code indexing tool.
Would it be possible to be a bit more specific in the package
description, perhaps with an example or two to give a general idea of
the sort of thing that this tool does?

If I'm correct that this is mainly for managing multiple repositories,
it would also be a good idea to consider the existing "myrepos" package,
and how this differs from it: why might somebody use one or the other?

(I don't know whether I'm in your target audience or not; this just
caught my eye as I was reading -devel.)

Thanks for your feedback. I agree that the description lacks of clarity,
I'll take care of that in the package description & will update that
upstream in the same way.

TBH I'm really struggling to explain what this tool do, I like the
idea of using examples to describe the functionalities, so I'll give
a try, thank you!

I'll take a deeper look at myrepos & see how they differs,
thanks for the pointer.
