My US$0.02: I think removing the 1-line pkg-comment file would be wonderful. We should use instead the first line of pkg-descr. This means, of course, that almost all pkg-descr files would have to be updated. I prefer making it the first line rather than tagged with COMMENT: for a couple of reasons: = Makes it easy to fetch the line: head -n 1 pkg-descr = When you have only one line, it is a shame to waste characters with a tag like COMMENT. I prefer putting the comment in pkg-descr rather than in the Makefile because it makes sense to have one file for the description of the package. One shouldn't have to describe a package in two files.
