(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.
This adds the vcprompt utility, a little C program that prints a short string
with barebones information about the current working directory for various
version control systems.
Since version 2.0, tig can use readline for history/completion support,
so add readline as a build input.
Increases closure size from 53 MiB to 54 MiB.
This reverts commit 88b5578a57 because of the
following issues:
1) If $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE is set in the current shell environment, then
its value will overwrite any settings the user may have configured in
http.sslCAInfo via git-config(1). If you are unaware of the wrapper, then
this behavior is totally unexpected as $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE is not
supposed to have an effect on Git.
2) The patch makes it impossible for Git users to use the $GIT_SSL_CAINFO
environment variable as documented in git-config(1), because anything set
there will be overwritten with the value of $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE (which
might be empty).
3) The patch breaks other builds of packages that depend on Git, i.e.
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/11995872/nixlog/1/raw>.
