(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.

'' The libevent API provides a mechanism to execute a callback function
|
|
when a specific event occurs on a file descriptor or after a timeout
|
|
has been reached. Furthermore, libevent also support callbacks due
|
|
to signals or regular timeouts.
|
|
|
|
libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven
|
|
network servers. An application just needs to call event_dispatch()
|
|
and then add or remove events dynamically without having to change
|
|
the event loop.
