(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
- Vte, add gtk3 support, enable introspection, update to 0.35.90
- Spice-gtk, add gtk3 support
- gtk-vnc, add gtk3 support
- Add libvirt-glib (thanks @bjornfor)
- Add usbredir
- qemu, enable usbredir
- spice-gtk, enable usbredir
- virt-manager, update to 1.0.1
[Bjørn:
* Set namePrefix = "" to preserve package name "virt-manager"
(instead of "python2.7-virt-manager")
* Add dconf to GIO_EXTRA_MODULES to get persistent settings in
virt-manager. Without it:
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
* Add ${gtk3}/share to XDG_DATA_DIRS to unbreak "Take Screenshot"
feature (fixes "Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' is not installed")
* gtk-vnc: don't pull "pkgs" attrset for optionalString, use stdenv.lib.optionalString instead.
]
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
It doesn't make sense to build tools/applications with three different
python interpreter versions, so move them out of python modules list.
Also reverts 53ffc6e0ef.
This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
Merge conflicts:
* unzip (almost trivial)
* dvswitch (trivial)
* gmp (copied result of `git merge`)
The last item introduced gmp-5.0.3, thus full rebuild.
+ensureDir->mkdir -p in TeX packages was catched by git but not svn.
