Before this patch, building talloc on darwin (OS X 10.8.5) results in:
gcc -dynamiclib -Wl,-search_paths_first -undefined error -o libtalloc.dylib.2.0.1 ./talloc.o ./libreplace/replace.o ./libreplace/snprintf.o ./libreplace/getpass.o ./libreplace/strptime.o -install_namelibtalloc.dylib.2
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-install_namelibtalloc.dylib.2'
make: *** [libtalloc.dylib.2.0.1] Error 1
Setting SONAMEFLAG to either "-install_name " (note trailing space), or
"-Wl,-install_name," results in a successful build. The latter seems
more clear.
(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.
