(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.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular
|
|
GPS receivers and mapping programs. It also has powerful
|
|
manipulation tools for such data.
|
|
|
|
By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various
|
|
programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it
|
|
returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data
|
|
between the programs and hardware we choose to use.
|
|
|
|
It contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a
|
|
convenient for server-side processing or as the backend for
|
|
other tools.
|
|
|
|
It does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. We
|
|
process data that may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as
|
|
waypoints, tracks, and routes.
