From c9baba9212feb6e39151118647d45b34b029a6df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjørn Forsman Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:21:08 +0200 Subject: Fix many package descriptions (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. --- pkgs/tools/networking/cntlm/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/connman/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/flvstreamer/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/host/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/inetutils/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/jnettop/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/lsh/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/mailutils/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/minidlna/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/tcpdump/default.nix | 2 +- pkgs/tools/networking/wget/default.nix | 2 +- 11 files changed, 11 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'pkgs/tools/networking') diff --git a/pkgs/tools/networking/cntlm/default.nix b/pkgs/tools/networking/cntlm/default.nix index cd3ae12a11b..f890bdddb69 100644 --- a/pkgs/tools/networking/cntlm/default.nix +++ b/pkgs/tools/networking/cntlm/default.nix @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation { '';
