From 4bba70ccdb98e970d0a5bb2e44c2eabaca552c82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Horn Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 01:15:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Don't recommend setting Keywords in PackageInfo.g This field seems to of at best marginal utility, if it has any. To the best of my knowledge, the only thing it is used for is by the Cite command, to insert it as a `keywords` field into the generated bib data. But is that useful? For what? All in all, I feel we might be better off not advertising this field anymore, and also phasing it out in the GAP documentation. The alternative is to keep it, but then also document all known uses of the field, i.e., in `Cite`, unless someone knows other uses? --- PackageInfo.g | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/PackageInfo.g b/PackageInfo.g index 5a3120c..8b244f9 100644 --- a/PackageInfo.g +++ b/PackageInfo.g @@ -403,11 +403,6 @@ AvailabilityTest := function() ## '?TestPackage', and also '?TestDirectory' for more information.
