* 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.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
And name the desktop file "eagle.desktop", not "Eagle.desktop". The user
facing application name is still "Eagle"; it has nothing to do with the
name of the desktop file.
* Ensure that R can link blas, liblapack, and libgfortran at run-time.
* Ensure that R can run the Tcl/Tk interpreter.
* Add Java support.
* Install texinfo and PDF documentation.
Eagle is a schematic capture and PCB layout program from CadSoft. This
is proprietary software; CadSoft provide a self-extracting shell script
with embedded tarball of the prebuilt application.
Add the latest Eagle version, 6.4.0.
I've added a small LD_PRELOAD library that redirects operations on the
license file from <eagle_install_path>/bin/eagle.key to
$HOME/.eagle.key. Without this Eagle will never get past the license
dialog (because you cannot write to the nix store).
Eagle also has issues copying its example projects to other locations;
it seems that it wants to preserve the read-only permissions from the
source over to the destination. Because of this it cannot complete the
copy operation because it cannot write the project files into to the
(read-only) project directory it just created. So wrap chmod by OR'ing
in the write-by-owner bit.
See #490 discussion.
