(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.

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit
|
|
easily in more or less any context: In crypto toolkits for
|
|
object-oriented languages (C++, Python, Pike, ...), in
|
|
applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space. In
|
|
most contexts, you need more than the basic cryptographic
|
|
algorithms, you also need some way to keep track of available
|
|
algorithms, their properties and variants. You often have
|
|
some algorithm selection process, often dictated by a protocol
|
|
you want to implement.
|
|
|
|
And as the requirements of applications differ in subtle and
|
|
not so subtle ways, an API that fits one application well can
|
|
be a pain to use in a different context. And that is why
|
|
there are so many different cryptographic libraries around.
|
|
|
|
Nettle tries to avoid this problem by doing one thing, the
|
|
low-level crypto stuff, and providing a simple but general
|
|
interface to it. In particular, Nettle doesn't do algorithm
|
|
selection. It doesn't do memory allocation. It doesn't do any
|
|
I/O.
