The reason I went through this whole journey of gathering dependencies
and debugging just in order to get i3 tests working was because I wanted
to supply test cases to a small patch I wrote for the upstream project.
This adds/updates quite a few Perl packages and a X dummy helper, which
are all needed in order to successfully run the test suite.
This is actually a small script which just starts an X server without
any real display. Right now only needed for running the test suite of
the i3 window manager within the Nix chroot, but might be useful for
running other tests needing a DISPLAY.
Usage is just like a regular X server, so in order to start an instance
for display :666, you just run it like this:
xdummy :666

kalibrate-rtl calculates the local oscillator frequency offset in
RTL-SDR devices.
kalibrate-rtl has no tags/releases, so I'm using the latest commit from
git master (dated 2013-12-14). I made an upstream issue about making a
release back in May[1], but I've gotten no response yet.

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?
A: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2
[Bjørn Forsman:
* wrap some long lines
* tweak meta attrs (don't repeat package name, s/meta.maintainer/meta.maintainers/)
* provide a version number (v2.0) for 'evemu' (for nix-env)

"OPC (OLE for Process Control) toolkit designed for use with Python"
This package contains a python module (OpenOPC) and a command line
client (opc). The OpenOPC Gateway Service for Windows is also copied to
$out, for reference.
It only works with python2.7 (not python3.x), so I'm not adding it to
python-packages.nix.
Also add needed dependency, python-pyro3, a distributed object
middleware for Python (IPC/RPC).

'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.
