I am using this package on my Yosemite install of OS X and it works great. It also pretty closely follows the Homebrew recipe that most OS X users use, so I think we can open it up to other OS X users.
(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.
- Update to 20140306
- Fixed libXt dependency. The compiler could not find X11/IntrinsicP.h, even though it is available through the nix store. I think there must be some issue with the 9c compiler being used and not obeying the CFLAGS that nix is supposed to pass. There are probably other dependencies I'm missing, but 9c found in my /usr/include.
[Bjørn Forsman:
* wrap some long lines
* tweak meta attrs (don't repeat package name, s/meta.maintainer/meta.maintainers/)
* provide a version number (v2.0) for 'evemu' (for nix-env)

These are plugins that are internal to collectd; they are bundled in the
source archive. Without this, many of the collectd plugins advertised on
their homepage don't actually work, so I think we should add this.
This change increases the closure size from 129 MiB to 621 MiB. The size
of the collectd store path itself goes from 2 MiB to 2.9 MiB.
Users wanting a smaller closure size can set some (or all) of the
optional inputs to "null" using ".override".
