contains arbitrary information about a package, like this:
meta = {
homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/";
license = "GPL/LGPL";
description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x";
};
The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation
operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes
don't trigger a recompilation.
Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-)

Even though you could just inherit binutils it is conceptually cleaner (I
think) to make these tools available here.

* added an experimental fetchdarcs function, based on fetchsvn

in /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (which will typically load a driver in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri). This has been tested on a i915
graphics card; it should work with most open source X.org drivers.
For NVidia's proprietary drivers (which we cannot build ourselves
anyway), some more symlinks are necessary; I'll add those later.
So to get hardware-accelerated Quake 3, do:
$ nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/opengl -i xorg-sys-opengl
$ nix-env -i quake3-demo
$ quake3
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=4613
allow the OpenGL implementation to be overriden through the
OPENGL_DRIVER environment variable. If it is not set, we use the
implementation installed in the profile
/nix/var/nix/profiles/opengl, allowing easy late binding by the
user, e.g.,
$ nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/opengl -i nvidia-sys-opengl
might install the NVidia OpenGL implementation.
The code that does this is not specific to Quake 3: it has been
factored out into build-support/opengl/mesa-switch.sh. Presumably
any application that requires hardware-accelerated OpenGL needs it.
* Add the Quake 3 demo to the cache.

the server is being spoofed --- only the cryptographic hash of the
output matters.

right thing. This is necessary to make libtool detect g++
properly. (Fixes the `libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged
configuration' error on FreeBSD when building Berkeley DB 4.4.)

* Use the system Perl on all non-i686-linux platforms.
* Don't build Python support in libxml2 on most platforms.

`*.dll.config' files corresponding to CLR assemblies. I.e., the
full path to native libraries is included in the maps. In effect
this allows us to set the equivalent of an RPATH for assemblies.
* gtk-sharp: use the DLL fixer. It's not perfect yet: I still have to
set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for monodoc to include the gtk-sharp lib
directory itself, so that it can find the `*sharpglue.so' files.
This seems to be gtk-sharp's fault; it doesn't have an entry for
those libraries in its DLL maps.

this contains mostly Armijn's pure stdenv-linux.
* After unpacking the statically linked GCC, patch all store paths to
/nix/store/ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. Ugly hack to prevent
undeclared references but it works.
* We don't need Glib's dynamic libraries in the first bootstrap stage;
delete them. Actually the downloaded Glibc binary is only needed
for building Glibc, since GCC needs a C compiler to build some
programs in `configure'. So static linking is fine for that. Maybe
it would be better to patch `configure' so that we don't need a
pre-built Glibc at all.
* Set the svn:executable property on `cp' and `patchelf'.
* In Glibc, revert to LinuxThreads. Maybe NPTL will work, but TLS
support is a problem.
* Delete most Glibc patches; they're no longer needed since the branch
updated it to 20050110.
* Some cleanups.

substitute inputFile outputFile \

--replace "@gcc@" "$GCC/bin/gcc"
substitute inputFile outputFile --subst-var out

the tree being fetched from a Subversion repository. The revision
number is now optional (and defaults to HEAD).
This makes `fetchsvn' more pure. First, a URL/revision tuple does
not uniquely identify a file resource, since the repository itself
might change. Second, `svn:external' attributes can cause arbitrary
resources to be exported.
A script `nix-prefetch-svn' has been provided to determine the hash
of a URL.

libgcc of the gcc being built, not the gcc building it.
* Only include a directory in the rpath of an executable/library if it
is actually used. Before, the `/lib' directory of every build input
was added to the rpath, causing many unnecessary retained
dependencies. For instance, Perl has a `/lib' directory, but most
applications whose build process uses Perl don't actually link
against Perl. (Also added a test for this.)
* After building glibc, remove glibcbug, to prevent a retained
dependency on gcc.
* Add a newline after `building X' in GNU Make.

On the downside, the build process of stdenvLinux builds gcc 9 times
(3 x 3 bootstrap stages). That's a bit excessive.

* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
`mkDerivation'. These transformations were all done automatically,
so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.
