John Wiegley	28b6fb61e6	Change occurrences of gcc to the more general cc ... This is done for the sake of Yosemite, which does not have gcc, and yet this change is also compatible with Linux.	2014-12-26 11:06:21 -06:00
Bjørn Forsman	c9baba9212	Fix many package descriptions ... (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.	2014-08-24 22:31:37 +02:00

Eelco Dolstra	c556a6ea46	* "ensureDir" -> "mkdir -p". "ensureDir" is a rather pointless ... function, so obsolete it. svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=31644	2012-01-18 20:16:00 +00:00
