Currently the pidgin plugins wrapper is named
"pidgin-VERSION-with-plugins". Fix it so that it becomes
"pidgin-with-plugins-VERSION".
(And add missing newline at the end of file.)
(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.
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
I disabled quite a few protocols and things (NetworkManager, other stuff). If anyon wants to have them enabled, be my guest :-P

with ghc. I will add 'unicode' option next check in (for cygwin).
* pidgin: Got rid of builder.sh, added ncurses to the dependencies, so it builds
finch.
* xorg: Added glproto and mesaHeaders to xf86videosis dependencies. Now it
compiles.
* pwgen: Added.
* device-mapper: Version bump. Added 'static' option for use in initrd.
* lvm2: Version bump. Added 'static' option for use in initrd.

(without this library it will always switch to Away after 5 minutes
and never make you Available again)
Build pidgin for release
Don't build Gaim for release
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=8661
Added gtkspell
Added pidgin, builds but does not run yet:
running pidgin fails to find libX11.so.6. ldd on pidgin reports:
libX11.so.6 => not found
....
libX11.so.6 => /nix/store/brsva6rh1p2ymjvk7054a90is5panrhf-libX11-1.1.1/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7358000)
which looks a bit weird ... Maybe some problem with patchelf? Or just
a build problem and should the library path be set using an
environment variable?
