(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.
'enableExtraPlugins = true' enables all the extra plugins (filters and
backends) that are available in the expression. This simplifies the
configuration for users who want to have the fullest possible asciidoc
configuration (not needing to enable each individual plugin).
I changed my mind about this, I no longer think that meta.description
should differ depending on the package configuration. A package
configuration can be very fine grained, and I don't think it's
possible/preferable to describe this in meta.description.
This reverts commit 9033821c34.
Added --with-system-icu=no, --with-system-harfbuzz=no (looks like the
omission of --with-system-icu was not sufficient to force the builder
not to look for system ICU libs).
Disable building bibtex-x: complains about missing ICU directory.
Disable building dvisvgm: a test fails (and I can't work out how to
prevent the tests from running just for this).
Disable building devnag: failing tests.
Tested like this:
nix-build -A docbook2odf
./result/bin/docbook2odf --verbose --debug result/share/doc/docbook2odf/examples/book.docbook
swriter book.odt # verify that the document looks ok
