How will pkgng handle this? Read it in this way: is it better to have a useless pkg_info COMMENT because it's truncated, or a nicer web page displaying ten additional characters and probably a link to the pkg-descr? IMHO if you are looking for a detailed description you have to look at pkg-descr in any way, 70 chars instead of 60 don't make a difference, but a truncated comment is like a 0-chars comment. This is my opinion of course. -- Alex Dupre
