In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
GHCJS uses integer-gmp, but cabal2nix generates a dependency list that
includes integer-simple instead. This tweaks the stage2 generator to
replace any instance of integer-simple with integer-gmp.
Things currently still work without this change (assuming
integer-simple is defined as null), as ghcjs includes integer-gmp in
its stage1 packages - so it's always available.
However, this change makes things a bit more explicit, rather than
leaving things to chance. If at any point the stage1 packages are also
split up into separate derivations, the integer-gmp package will need to
be passed along to the packages that depend on it. This change should
prevent some confusion going forward.
