- This unbreaks lttng linux kernel modules[1]
- lttng-tools has grown a dependency on libxml2
[1]: Build tested (for default NixOS Linux kernel) and run tested with
lttng-sessiond (it successfully loads kernel modules).
There's a Make rule to generate .cpp from .asm but the .cpp is included
in the source. Presumably the timestamps of these two files in the tmp
dir are different when Hydra is building, but not on my system. This
causes Make to try to rebuild .cpp, but the tools needed for that are missing.
GDB 7.8 adds Guile scripting support. This is now enabled by default as
well. Checking for guile also adds a pkg-config dependency.
It seems Python is explicitly excluded from cross building. I'm not
sure if Guile should also be excluded.
BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers. The motivation behind
BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software. BOSSA is an acronym
for Basic Open Source SAM-BA Application to reflect that goal.
(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.
