(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.
Changelog:
- Configurable status line via -F option, see manpage for a listing of
format specifier.
- Improve display of device name in status line.
- Script: Binary transmission feature via "!<"
- Bugfixes
This also fixes the annoying issue that minicom doesn't work out of the
box:
$ minicom
minicom: there is no global configuration file /etc/minirc.dfl
Ask your sysadmin to create one (with minicom -s).
$ sudo minicom -s
minicom: there is no global configuration file /etc/minirc.dfl
Ask your sysadmin to create one (with minicom -s).
minicom 2.4 basically refuses to enter setup unless /etc/minirc.dfl
already exists. sudo touch /etc/minirc.dfl is enough to fix that though,
but with this commit "sudo minicom -s" will work out of the box.
`selectVersion ./foo "bar"' instead of `import ./foo/bar.nix'.
* Replaced `with args' with formal function arguments in several
packages.
* Renamed several files to `default.nix'. As a general rule, version
numbers should only be included in the filename when there is a
reason to keep multiple versions of a package in Nixpkgs.
Otherwise, it just makes it harder to update the package.
