[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#703950: Unfortunate short description

Package: gerbv
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english at lists.debian.org

Dear Debian Electronics Team,

I would like to suggest another wording for the package description.

The current description is:

Description: Gerber file viewer for PCB design
  gerbv is a utility for viewing Gerber RS-274X files, Excellon drill files,
  and CSV pick-and-place files. Gerber files are used for communicating
  printed circuit board (PCB) designs to PCB manufacturers.

For me the design in the short description is wrong and the CSV 
pick-and-place
files were a riddle for translators. Do you mean input data for placement
machines?

Here is my suggestion:

Description: Gerber file viewer for PCB manufacturing
  gerbv is a utility for viewing Gerber RS-274X files, Excellon drill files,
  and CSV files for placement machines. Gerber files are used for 
communicating
  printed circuit board (PCB) designs to PCB manufacturers.

Perhaps it's a good idea to swap the sentences?


Kind regards,
    Martin
