Bug #4339
openbuild system needs to provide more information on modules
0%
Description
The build system has a 'describe' task that will svn cat the description.txt file of any module. This is a good start, but only the ppod module has a description.txt file. Furthermore, the description.txt file is located in the root of the module instead of in the module-info directory where such metadata should probably reside.
To close this bug:
-The description.txt file needs to be redesigned to include the following fields (whoever works on this should evaluate and probably use the kepler documentation format for this):
1) Title
2) Description
3) Author*
4) Related Modules*
-The description.txt file should be located in module-info
-All modules should have a valid description file and all core modules must have a description.txt file
-Modify the list-modules task to print the description, name, etc of every module in the system.

Not critical to the user experience in kepler, so moving to post 2.0
