(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.
Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?

The one-liner gcc buildPhase doesn't work anymore, so I'm using upstream
Makefile instead. The Makefile needs a tiny patch to work (not nixpkgs
specific).
Also fixup path to 'sox' and espeak-data/ (runtime deps) by providing
full paths.
TODO:
Uhm, seems like espeakedit still wants espeak-data/ in $HOME, even
thought I've told it to use $espeak/share/espeak-data. Have to contact
upstream to get this fixed.
Workaround:
cp -r $(nix-build -A espeak)/share/espeak-data ~
chmod +w ~/espeak-data
Using setup.py results in the following error message:
Missing file: share/applications/gpodder.desktop
If you want to install, use "make install" instead of using
setup.py directly. See the README file for more information.
