It isn't or shouldn't be; in the future, it would be nice if this type passes by QA / Council before being acked into the Portage tree code. Looking at the commit, the ack / commit has completely bypassed QA; we also were not involved on the related bug, thus we were unaware of it. > I don't recall a policy mandating that descriptions can't end with > '.'.

It has been a common belief to drop '.' among some from what I've seen. --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/J3w2tFiXZ70Hl9lA_djO=4I Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJT6yQVAAoJEPWZc8roOL/QuBYH/156NQsqddOjHAc/4tf1poHr OCcyWe2mu4HxmFKMRS3rUu8gQMJALuMQnUrW2mNv4zdimE4FIuBsvtCprSHza/uD L4timAZjWjRMVnPhAPKmNVNthndNNoMJkonE4ntcHt/YZ3wVO4RLMHMID9yL8cXG Wr+fK8/H8wl8syIBFPkukA9/K2wJS6XGYQHbg6FGa14GyQELTDZx5NG1ltoXXKd8 3vM/Osu7iuWaDsnrTfFwdarcQTjODHOKknrQ2Dd7AYVqpnW1z2GWN3MycB1L4XFv kVwZhTkC7HRd8HCZSDzn6A5ytxgXR7pK8liZEDbSkZ+MtW7tcZ+jKbBSaj9RKdM= =/UXW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/J3w2tFiXZ70Hl9lA_djO=4I--
