This test fails on MacOS X. The failure has something to do with
the tests expecting filesystems to accept/store filenames as
bytes. On the HFS+ filesystem, however, filenames are Unicode
characters (Normalisation Form D).
This wget ticket appears to be relevant
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?27541
The maintainer does not seem to think that this test
failure represents a problem in practice:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.general/8988
But this patch should be revisited/removed if this aspect of wget is
ever addressed in the future.
NB: I'm also a bit concerned/confused that none of the tests mentioned
in that message seem to fail, so I'm not 100% sure if this is the
relevant issue.
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
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.
Rename NetworkManager-dispatcher.service to
dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service so it is found by systemd (NixOS
doesn't handle the Alias directive in the unit file)
Change PATH=$PATH:deps to PATH=deps:$PATH in the wicd wrappers, because
the latter is more deterministic; it prevents possibly wrong versions of
dependencies to sneak in from the environment.
Do the same for PYTHONPATH.
OfflineIMAP is primarily a program/tool, not a python module (although
it installs a python module too, for those who want to poke at its
internals).
Now we can install it with "nix-env -i offlineimap" instead of
"nix-env -i python2.7-offlineimap".
