This is one of my first patches to Guix. Feedback is appreciated. This patch provides a description for usbutils. Previously the description was just a copy of the synopsis.
After looking at the usbutils readme I understand why the description was a copy of the synopsis. There is not a lot of information on the usbutils readme. So looking for additional information I ran `locate usbutils` which listed these binaries: lsusb usb-devices usbhid-dump I have taking into account the descriptions from their man pages as well as the usbutils readme and attempted a new description for usbutils. There is a linting warning which is independent of this patch. `guix lint usbutils` usbutils@010: URI http://www.linux-usb.org/ returned suspiciously small file (369 bytes) These build commands are successful: guix build --rounds=4 usbutils guix build --system=armhf-linux --rounds=4 usbutils guix build --system=aarch64-linux --rounds=4 usbutils -------- >From 00a6add2736d3695b16f0c40177751852fbc6a67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mikadoZero <mikadoz...@yandex.com> Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2019 20:49:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gnu: usbutils: Make package description different from synopsis. * gnu/packages/linux.scm (usbutils): Change package description. --- gnu/packages/linux.scm | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gnu/packages/linux.scm b/gnu/packages/linux.scm index bc2219b1fa..9554ca4bfa 100644 --- a/gnu/packages/linux.scm +++ b/gnu/packages/linux.scm @@ -33,6 +33,7 @@ ;;; Copyright © 2018 Pierre Langlois <pierre.langl...@gmx.com> ;;; Copyright © 2018 Vasile Dumitrascu <va5...@yahoo.com> ;;; Copyright © 2019 Tim Gesthuizen <tim.gesthui...@yahoo.de> +;;; Copyright © 2019 mikadoZero <mikadoz...@yandex.com> ;;; ;;; This file is part of GNU Guix. ;;; @@ -785,9 +786,10 @@ slabtop, and skill.") `(("pkg-config" ,pkg-config))) (home-page "http://www.linux-usb.org/") (synopsis - "Tools for working with USB devices, such as lsusb") + "Tools for working with USB devices") (description - "Tools for working with USB devices, such as lsusb.") + "Collection of tools to query what type of USB devices are connected to the +system, including lsusb.")
