(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.

GNU gperf is a perfect hash function generator. For a given
|
|
list of strings, it produces a hash function and hash table, in
|
|
form of C or C++ code, for looking up a value depending on the
|
|
input string. The hash function is perfect, which means that
|
|
the hash table has no collisions, and the hash table lookup
|
|
needs a single string comparison only.
|
|
|
|
GNU gperf is highly customizable. There are options for
|
|
generating C or C++ code, for emitting switch statements or
|
|
nested ifs instead of a hash table, and for tuning the algorithm
|
|
employed by gperf.
