(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.

|
An "ID database" is a binary file containing a list of file
|
|
names, a list of tokens, and a sparse matrix indicating which
|
|
tokens appear in which files.
|
|
|
|
With this database and some tools to query it, many
|
|
text-searching tasks become simpler and faster. For example,
|
|
you can list all files that reference a particular `\#include'
|
|
file throughout a huge source hierarchy, search for all the
|
|
memos containing references to a project, or automatically
|
|
invoke an editor on all files containing references to some
|
|
function or variable. Anyone with a large software project to
|
|
maintain, or a large set of text files to organize, can benefit
|
|
from the ID utilities.
|
|
|
|
Although the name `ID' is short for `identifier', the ID
|
|
utilities handle more than just identifiers; they also treat
|
|
other kinds of tokens, most notably numeric constants, and the
|
|
contents of certain character strings.
