From 28ac782583d6a959940ece313e3842a97e9340c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjørn Forsman Date: Sat, 5 Oct 2013 16:22:46 +0200 Subject: Some description fixes 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. --- pkgs/development/compilers/aldor/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/compilers/clean/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/interpreters/angelscript/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/Xaw3d/default.nix | 4 ++++ pkgs/development/libraries/a52dec/default.nix | 1 + pkgs/development/libraries/aalib/default.nix | 4 ++++ pkgs/development/libraries/agg/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/apache-activemq/default.nix | 4 +--- pkgs/development/libraries/aspell/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/atk/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/attica/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/aubio/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/audiofile/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/avahi/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/bwidget/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/libraries/classads/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/misc/avr-gcc-with-avr-libc/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/analysis/checkstyle/default.nix | 7 ++++++- pkgs/development/tools/build-managers/apache-ant/default.nix | 4 ++++ pkgs/development/tools/build-managers/apache-ant/from-source.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/casperjs/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/astyle/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/autobuild/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/autoconf/2.13.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/autoconf/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/autogen/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/automake/automake-1.10.x.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/automake/automake-1.11.x.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/automake/automake-1.12.x.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/automake/automake-1.13.x.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/avarice/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/development/tools/misc/ccache/default.nix | 2 +- 32 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) (limited to 'pkgs/development') diff --git a/pkgs/development/compilers/aldor/default.nix b/pkgs/development/compilers/aldor/default.nix index fcd0c9fd453..57d1bf74154 100644 --- a/pkgs/development/compilers/aldor/default.nix +++ b/pkgs/development/compilers/aldor/default.nix @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation { meta = { homepage = "http://www.aldor.org/"; - description = "Aldor is a programming language with an expressive type system"; + description = "Programming language with an expressive type system"; license = stdenv.lib.licenses.asl20; longDescription = '' diff --git a/pkgs/development/compilers/clean/default.nix b/pkgs/development/compilers/clean/default.nix index bd051a95699..7f3e679e847 100644 --- a/pkgs/development/compilers/clean/default.nix +++ b/pkgs/development/compilers/clean/default.nix @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation rec { ''; meta = { - description = "Clean is a general purpose, state-of-the-art, pure and lazy functional programming language."; + description = "General purpose, state-of-the-art, pure and lazy functional programming language"; longDescription = '' Clean is a general purpose, state-of-the-art, pure and lazy functional programming language designed for making real-world applications.
