For better DESCRIPTION readability, eix should create the line break on a space. I realize that the current output just spews it out on one line and lets the terminal width dictate where the line break is..However, is there anyway to get the term width then make it look better? I don't know, just throwing it out there...
The description is (as the homepage and any other metadata) by definition just one line. This is also the most useful thing if you redirect the output or resize the terminal - it would not be appropriate if eix would modify the description by inserting space or newlines. (Moreover, it would also technically be very complicated, since eix would have to keep track of the cursor position).
Yea, figured it might be hard to do. No worries.
