This one was a bit tricky to find because it only causes a runtime
error, and pulseaudio has shims for most ALSA UCM methods except one.
(I guess nobody ever really tests pulseaudio in combination with
UCM-less ALSA?)
ALSA 1.1.8 had ${alsa-dev}/include/alsa/ in the pkg-config file, which
was considered wrong and fixed in 1.1.9.
However, pulseaudio was relying on being able to include ALSA headers
like <asoundlib.h> and <use-case.h> rather than <alsa/asoundlib.h> and
<alsa/use-case.h>. (For asoundlib.h it only causes a warning, because
the ALSA guys created a shim for that header.)
These two patches change pulseaudio to use the correct include
directives.
He prefers to contribute to his own nixpkgs fork triton.
Since he is still marked as maintainer in many packages
this leaves the wrong impression he still maintains those.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
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.
It was really ugly that `xlibs.xlibs` meant something else than `xlibs`,
especially when using `with xlibs`, such as in wine.
Also, now `xlibs` is the same as `xorg`.
(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.
Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?
