Looks like this is the only way to do what 6258728318
was expected to do that doesn't break things and doesn't look like a complete hack.
The problem is that different `fetch`ers generate very different results (from
archive files to plain source trees) and allowing overriding `src` in top-level
derivation when there is a derived python package is no trivial matter.
(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.
gets rid of the dependency on the old gnupg1. and enables decryption
even if the gpg binary is not in the users environment.
warning: i don't know whether the switch from gnupg1 to gnupg
introduces any incompatibilities. this is a works for me patch.
the muted tag is supposed to be inherited by messages of the same
thread, effictely muting a thread. A muted thread will not show up in
your inbox anymore. Current implementation is hackish but functional.
big thank you to amdragon!
