We are patching the xmlcatalog calls in the JH_CHECK_XML_CATALOG
macro to use the XML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable instead
of a single central catalog file. Since consumers (libraries or
applications) are expected to copy the m4 files to their source
tree, we need to patch them separately. The files should be
identical, though, so we can reuse the patch for gtk_doc.
This commit makes the patch available in passthru so the consumer
expressions do not need to maintain the long relative path.
In the previous commit, we added a setup hook to docbook dtd and xsl
packages, that adds derivation’s catalog file to an environment variable.
That should, in theory, remove the need for declaring their catalogs manually.
Unfortunately, xmlcatalog utility expects exactly one catalog file, completely
disregarding the environment variable in non-interactive context. In the same
spirit, the design of gtk-doc m4 files only admits a single catalog file,
resulting in another ugly hack.
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
- fix in silencing some moveToOutput messages
- allow removing (developer) documentation even without defining outputs
(note: some paths are auto-removed by default, e.g. gtk-doc and man3)
(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.
