Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2006-06-28 03:58:13 UTC

Please add the "JDM" word to ebuild description so that
esearch -S
can match this ebuild.

JDM is the name of an easy to build electronic board that is well known to be compatible with this Gentoo programm; so, some people may be pleased to start their searchs using the name of the hardware board, and expecting to find names of "compatible softwares" using Gentoo/portage search engine.

trivial enhancement that may make life easier for manu electronic people :)

You may also mention those URL, but you may not have room for those long links:

Thanks.

There are a number of different ways to connect a serial port to a PIC to program it. The JDM board is one of them.

However, the short one-line description string in the ebuild is not the place to list them all. Plus, searching for them is not a job for Portage, but for ${your_preferred_web_search_engine}.

Denis.
