This reverts commit 13fab57d127bf70a338901b422da32e562d16889.
Hopefully fixes the printing tests at
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/14952070/log/raw ; if not, it's probably
gutenprint although I doubt:
client# lp: Unsupported document-format "application/pdf".
(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 newer version breaks printing to non-Postscript printers (e.g. HP
Deskjets). This is because the gstoraster and gstopxl filters were
removed. They are now in a package named "cups-filters" that we don't
have yet.
See #490 discussion.
This reverts commit 1278859d3167b9f84bfab680d9c8c463adf64a60, reversing
changes made to 0c020c98f9d4f49d5c9907db5f4b35aac7df959b.
Conflicts:
pkgs/desktops/xfce/core/xfce4-session.nix (take master)
pkgs/lib/misc.nix (auto)
the previous troubles with a mixture of libpng versions fade away.
I also enable back GPL Ghostscript as the default.
I checked that 'awesome' builds fine (it calls imagemagick for some pictures in
its build script), as a proof that imagemagick does not crash anymore.

We must explicitly give the "--with-install-cups" option at configure time to
get the gstoraster filter installed.

- Merged the builder.sh file into the expression itself.
- Need to force "-lz" flag to fix linker errors. This is probably a bug
in the build system, so further updates may not need that hack.
- Need to force "-rpath=${freetype}/lib" flag to fix run-time errors
because gs can't find the libfreetype.so.6 library. I don't quite
understand why that path isn't hard-coded to begin with.

builders. These are redundant now.
* Inlined some trivial builders.
* Removed a few explicit setup-hook creations. This is done
automatically now if setupHook is set.
* Deleted the initscripts package. NixOS doesn't use it anymore.

In addition, install `libgs.so' and its header files, as well as the
man pages and HTML documentation. Use the GS fonts provided at
ftp.gnu.org under the `ghostscript' directory.
