- It now uses JavaScript for configuration (only),
so I had to "convert" config for NetworkManager.
- I tested suspend/restart/(un)mount on KDE/Xfce,
Phreedom tested NetworkManager config conversion.
The default setting for extraLibs used to be the set of modules that come with
python by default but aren't usually enabled in our standard python derivation
because they require additional libraries. This meant that users who want to
*add* libraries to that set had to use a fairly complicated override, to add
more entries without loosing the ones set by default.
After this patch, the "standard libraries" such as "curses' are listed in
stdLibs while the extraLibs argument remains empty by default. This allows
users to override extraLibs without overriding the standard libraries.
Furthermore, the wrapper environment can be messed around with in an
additional 'postBuild' step. One nice application of this build step is
to patch scripts and binaries to use the wrapped python interpreter
instead of the pristine one, thereby enabling them to pick up all
modules that have been configured. The following example shows how this
is done for the 'pylint' utility:
pkgs.python27Full.override {
extraLibs = [pkgs.pylint];
postBuild = ''
cd ${pkgs.pylint}/bin
for i in *; do
rm $out/bin/$i
sed -r -e "s|^exec |exec $out/bin/python -- |" <$i >$out/bin/$i
chmod +x $out/bin/$i
done;
'';
};
* 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.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
The new wrapper creates an environment that contains all files from
Python and the extra libraries that have been specified. All files are
found at run-time by means of the $PYTHONHOME variable; the wrapper no
longer uses $PYTHONPATH.
The bash scripts of elixir contain some references to `erl'. This
patch wraps the scripts and extends PATH so `erl' is available.
