I don't know what changed, but apparently something did. We're using
fetchzip and the 0.14 tag doesn't seem to have moved (AFAICS).
Build and run-tested.
For reference, the (current) annotated tag '0.14' is dated
"Wed Dec 17 23:32:11 2014 +0100" and points to commit
f342621dff8065b29aeda238ccce5ac92d04f5b6 ("Preparing release").
Without this one cannot mount the backup repository:
$ attic mount /backups/backup.attic mnt
attic: the "llfuse" module is required to use this feature
attic: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
fetchzip calculates the hash of the extracted archive, so that
(irrelevant) changes done to the dynamically generated archive doesn't
cause our hash to be outdated.
(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.
