There's a huge difference between a purposefully crafted 72 character summary and a free-for all description field that will have to be chopped to be displayed in the GUI. I originally chose summary as a succinct 72 characters would fit much better in the available UI. Aside: according to the Yocto docs the SUMMARY field should fall back to DESCRIPTION anyway. It's just that right now we do that at the package back-end level for each package back-end. > OK, then HOB has a bug. To use DESCRIPTION instead of SUMMARY.
