From c9baba9212feb6e39151118647d45b34b029a6df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjørn Forsman Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2014 16:21:08 +0200 Subject: 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. --- pkgs/tools/security/tboot/default.nix | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'pkgs/tools/security/tboot') diff --git a/pkgs/tools/security/tboot/default.nix b/pkgs/tools/security/tboot/default.nix index 1c9967edc4778..854f67f2aeec2 100644 --- a/pkgs/tools/security/tboot/default.nix +++ b/pkgs/tools/security/tboot/default.nix @@ -21,9 +21,7 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation rec { installFlags = "DESTDIR=$(out)"; meta = with stdenv.lib; { - description = ''Trusted Boot (tboot) is an open source, pre-kernel/VMM module that uses - Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) to perform a measured - and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM.''; + description = "A pre-kernel/VMM module that uses Intel(R) TXT to perform a measured and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM"; homepage = http://sourceforge.net/projects/tboot/; license = licenses.bsd3; maintainers = [ maintainers.ak ]; -- cgit 1.4.1
