Description:   Opened: 2004-05-18 04:58 0000
During unrelated development I noticed that some ebuild authors have neglected
to change the DESCRIPTION field from the skeleton file:

$ emerge -S "This is a sample skeleton ebuild file"

My suggestions:

app-admin/reportmagic:
"Report Magic makes usable statistics from your web site log file analysis."

app-sci/gt-itm
"A collection of routines to generate and analyze graphs using a wide variety
of models for internetwork topology."

sys-apps/discover-data
"Discover is a set of libraries and utilities for gathering and reporting
information about a system's hardware."

sys-apps/irqbalance
"Distribute hardware interrupts across processors on a multiprocessor system."

These descriptions have been gathered from the respective websites or from the
included documentation.
I take no responsibility for the validity of these descriptions, but they sure
beat the current ones :-)

Doh!  I must have been in a hurry.  sys-apps/discover-data is obviously the
*data* for sys-apps/discover.  The corrected description should probably be
this:

sys-apps/discover-data
"Data used by sys-apps/discover."

discover-1.x had the right DESCRIPTION ... not sure how i screwed it up for 2.x

------- Comment #3 From Mr. Bones. 2004-05-24 22:10:49 0000 -------
I fixed the last three.  Thanks for the bug report.
