(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.
Version 0.11.6 was the latest version that I was able to get building
and running on NixOS. Unfortunately my previous commit for 0.12.5 was
an error and incomplete.
* Bump bumblebee to 3.2.1
* Remove config.patch - options it added can be passed to ./configure now
* Remove the provided xorg.conf
Provided xorg.conf was causing problems for some users,
and Bumblebee provides its own default configuration anyway.
* Make secondary X11 log to /var/log/X.bumblebee.log
* Add a module for bumblebee
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
Wow, this is one of the most dangerous programs I've seen in a while. It not
only tries to probe for a package manager to install dependencies but also
tries to execute a whole bunch of programs in $PATH. That's why I decided to
override the postFixup phase for now in order to get rid of the current $PATH
and meanwhile getting the basics working.
So, I'm still not sure how to do the best implementation here on NixOS without
allowing winswitch to be too invasive and without restricting it too much so
that it's of no use.
But let's figure that out once we trimmed down the radiation level of this
"living" thing ;-)
