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/backup/partclone/default.nix | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'pkgs/tools/backup') diff --git a/pkgs/tools/backup/partclone/default.nix b/pkgs/tools/backup/partclone/default.nix index b446b06f987c..fe2b9e00aaaf 100644 --- a/pkgs/tools/backup/partclone/default.nix +++ b/pkgs/tools/backup/partclone/default.nix @@ -17,7 +17,13 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation { installPhase = ''make INSTPREFIX=$out install''; meta = { - description = "Partclone provides utilities to save and restore used blocks on a partition and is designed for higher compatibility of the file system by using existing libraries, e.g. e2fslibs is used to read and write the ext2 partition"; + description = "Utilities to save and restore used blocks on a partition"; + longDescription = '' + Partclone provides utilities to save and restore used blocks on a + partition and is designed for higher compatibility of the file system by + using existing libraries, e.g. e2fslibs is used to read and write the + ext2 partition. + ''; homepage = http://partclone.org; license = stdenv.lib.licenses.gpl2; maintainers = [stdenv.lib.maintainers.marcweber]; -- cgit 1.4.1
