[aur-general] About package description (pkgdesc) size

[Jimmy Latouche]

Hello everybody

I've got a simple question about submitting a package to AUR: the
PKGBUILD I'm working on is a scanner driver for EPSON printers, but it's 
list of supported models is quite long and I wouldn't want to left out 
some models unmentioned since users of those models won't benefit from it.

My original pkgdesc line was as follows (same as on EPSON's site):

pkgdesc="Epson scanner driver (DS-40, DS-50000, DS-510, DS-520, DS-5500, 
DS-560, DS-60000, DS-6500, DS-70000, DS-7500, DS-760, DS-860, EP-10VA 
Series, EP-808A Series, EP-978A3 Series, ET-2500 Series, ET-2550 Series, 
ET-4500 Series, ET-4550 Series, L220 Series, L222 Series, L360 Series, 
L362 Series, L365 Series, L366 Series, L455 Series, L565 Series, L566 
Series, L655 Series, PX-M7050 Series, PX-M7050FP, PX-M7050FX, PX-M840FX, 
PX-M860F, WF-6530 Series, WF-6590 Series, WF-8510 Series, WF-8590 
Series, WF-R8590 Series, XP-220 Series, XP-230 Series, XP-235 Series, 
XP-332 335 Series, XP-430 Series, XP-432 435 Series, XP-530 Series, 
XP-630 Series, XP-830 Series, XP-960 Series)"

Then I tried this other one ("series" and some white spaces removed):

pkgdesc="Epson scanner driver (DS-40, DS-50000, DS-510, DS-520, DS-5500, 
DS-560, DS-60000, DS-6500, DS-70000, DS-7500, DS-760, DS-860, EP-10VA 
,EP-808A , EP-978A3, ET-2500, ET-2550, ET-4500, ET-4550, L220, L222, 
L360, L362, L365, L366, L455, L565, L566, L655, PX-M7050, PX-M7050FP, 
PX-M7050FX, PX-M840FX, PX-M860F, WF-6530, WF-6590, WF-8510, WF-8590, 
WF-R8590, XP-220, XP-230, XP-235, XP-332 335, XP-430, XP-432 435, 
XP-530, XP-630, XP-830, XP-960 )"

When I try to upload this package I get the message "remote: error:
pkgdesc field too long:"

So, I have two questions relating to this issue:

- If  I cannot provide such a long description on the pkgdesc field then 
is there any other way I can indicate the list of supported models?

- What is the limit for this particular string?

Thanks in advance

Jimmy
