(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.
Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?
A: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2
dependency. This is important to prevent these dependencies from
propagating to all PulseAudio clients. The PulseAudio server in
NixOS can enable X11 support (if desired) by setting
hardware.pulseaudio.package = pkgs.pulseaudio.override {
x11Support = true;
};

* Fixed the hash in PulseAudio: I updated the name/version, but forgot
to update the hash. So secretly it was still building the old
version. Also, now that we've realised that the PulseAudio server
and library don't need to be the same build, disable some
dependencies by default (avahi and bluez).

not clear what they're good for, and we don't want other packages
depending on GTK+ or Gnome if it's not necessary. Also, updated to
0.9.23.
