@ -38,11 +38,14 @@ Below is a short excerpt of some points in there:
The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234).
* `meta.description` should:
* Be short, just one sentence.
* Be capitalized.
* Not start with the package name.
* Not have a period at the end.
* More generally, it should not refer to the package name.
* Not end with a period (or any punctuation for that matter).
* `meta.license` must be set and fit the upstream license.
* If there is no upstream license, `meta.license` should default to `lib.licenses.unfree`.
* If in doubt, try to contact the upstream developers for clarification.
* `meta.maintainers` must be set.
See the nixpkgs manual for more details on [standard meta-attributes](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-standard-meta-attributes).
