[ferringb]

is there any reason to do this, rather than just saying "don't use the package name in the package description" ?

[mgorny]

Are you asking why the "is" etc. logic or the check in general?

[ferringb]

No, I mean why should the pkgcheck package description ever need to actually use the word 'pkgcheck' in it? pkgcheck is is the english lead in for pkgcheck; is there a reason to try to catch phrases like this, rather than just saying "there's 99% no valid reason to use the package name in the description"?

[mgorny]

Because otherwise there's a lot of false positives when package name reasonably matches what it does.

For example:

[N] dev-python/base58 ((~)2.1.1): Base58 and Base58Check implementation

[ferringb]

Meh, but ack.

[ferringb]

No complaints from me, sans the usual bike shedding.

[ferringb]

I don't hugely care, but this blocks now feels redundant- your more specific error below is clearer than "generic package name", imo.

[mgorny]

I was wondering about that too. But I figured out there's a difference between package description being completely meaningless (i.e. 100% repeat of PN) vs. having redundant prefix.

[ferringb]

Yeah, my core thought here is "generic description" doesn't really mean much.

"this is a package for python". That's generic.

"pkgcheck" for pkgcheck's description is not generic as much as someone needing a wedgie, and calling it generic is accurate, but just feels off to me.

^^^ that's bikeshedding territory, to be clear. Whatever you or others think is best works for me- the check you're adding is the one with higher value imo.
