continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
As per reasonable suggestion, instead of extensively patching the
hboetes version of mg to work on MacOS using bits from ibara's mg,
just set upstream to ibara's mg.
This also removes the dependency on libbsd, although I'm not sure
if this is a good or bad thing.
The actual most recent version is 20200215, so update the package version to this.
Furthermore, update the patch accordingly so it still builds. This adds back the
reallocarray.c file.
I am not happy with this at all. It avoids using libbsd at all on
darwin because there are conflicting header files, particularly the
header string.h.
Ideally that would be the thing to fix. But in the meantime, this patch
should do the trick.
It declares a header file apple.h, which files include if target is
darwin (checks for presence of __APPLE__). This header file also
references the three source files futimens.c, reallocarray.c and
strtonum.c. The former and latter are from https://github.com/ibara/mg
which is another portable fork, but building against more platforms.
From the OpenBSD source tree is _null.h and tree.h. There is a check so
that if __APPLE__ is present then it will include them from this source
tree.
Now,the makefile GNUMakefile will not link against libbsd on darwin, by
checking the output of uname in much the same way as it did already for
FreeBSD.
Semi-automatic update. These checks were performed:
- built on NixOS
- found 20171014 in filename of file in /nix/store/wj43g856p6igcns8gw3infsw9a2dd2a5-mg-20171014
(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.
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
