Subject: bug#34829: [PATCH] gnu: usbutils: Make package description different from synopsis.
Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2019 21:24:45 -0400

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 <at> 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
