This moves libsystemd.so and libudev.so into systemd.lib, and gets rid
of libudev (which just contained a copy of libudev.so and the udev
headers). It thus reduces the closure size of all packages that
(indirectly) depend on libsystemd, of which there are quite a few (for
instance, PulseAudio and dbus). For example, it reduces the closure of
Blender from 430.8 to 400.8 MiB.
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
(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.
Spotify doesn't start:
$ ./result/bin/spotify
/nix/store/yx05s6irqil8a24ilyvjvhnjljmm8f15-spotify-0.9.4.183/bin/.spotify-wrapped: error while loading shared libraries: libcef.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
That is fixed with adding $out/spotify-client/Data to RPATH.
Then Spotify errors out trying to open libudev.so.0. We don't have that
in nixpkgs, so I'm making a symlink to libudev.so.1 instead.
Tested on NixOS x86_64-linux.
