This is to bring the julia version information into accordance with
section 7.3.2 of the nixpkgs manual:
The version in the filename should leave out unnecessary detail.
For instance, if we keep the latest Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x
versions in Nixpkgs, they should be named firefox/2.0.nix and
firefox/3.5.nix, respectively (which, at a given point, might
contain versions 2.0.0.20 and 3.5.4).
Julia uses semantic versioning (http://semver.org), so the third
digit (the patch level) represents backwards-compatible bug fixes
only.
It was mentioned in PR #5842 that Julia's testsuite fails under nixpkgs.
This PR enables the testsuite for Julia 0.3.X to demonstrate that it
works.
Since Julia is numerical software, I think it is a great idea to
merge this current PR so that Julia will always be tested in the
future.
I was unable to get the tests to pass on the 0.2.X branch. However,
this branch is dead (its latest commit was Aug 8) and will receive
no more releases.
* 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.
Update julia and some of its dependencies
Split PCRE because a lot of packages depend on it and I am not sure we
want to test them in a hurry (and Julia specifies exact version).
