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/applications/audio/moc/default.nix | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'pkgs/applications/audio/moc') diff --git a/pkgs/applications/audio/moc/default.nix b/pkgs/applications/audio/moc/default.nix index e5264f5c3d2f..5c6a1d6ac54e 100644 --- a/pkgs/applications/audio/moc/default.nix +++ b/pkgs/applications/audio/moc/default.nix @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation rec { ]; meta = { - description = "MOC (music on console) is a console audio player for LINUX/UNIX designed to be powerful and easy to use."; + description = "An ncurses console audio player designed to be powerful and easy to use"; homepage = http://moc.daper.net/; license = stdenv.lib.licenses.gpl2; }; -- cgit 1.4.1
