fetching a file with hash HASH of type TYPE, we first try to
download <base-url>/<type>/<hash>, where <base-url> is one of a list
of mirrors. For instance, given
src = fetchurl {
url = http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.6/source/firefox-2.0.0.6-source.tar.bz2;
sha1 = "eb72f55e4a8bf08e8c6ef227c0ade3d068ba1082";
};
and the mirror list [http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs], we first
try to download
eb72f55e4a
and if that fails, we use the original URL.
The list of mirrors is not yet user-configurable.
* `fetchurl' now also accepts an argument `urls' instead of `url' for
a list of alternative download locations, which fetchurl will try in
sequence.

can be installed in a user environment without conflict. This is
useful if you need gcov (which isn't symlinked in the GCC wrapper).

to the gcc invocation.
If we pass a flag like -Wl, then gcc will call the linker unless it
can figure out that it has to do something else (e.g., because of a
"-c" flag). So if no non-flag arguments are given, don't pass any
linker flags. This catches cases like "gcc" (should just print
"gcc: no input files") and "gcc -v" (should print the version).

* Removed substitute, it's part of the generic builder now.
* stdenv-initial (Linux): use the real generic builder script. This
does require that sed is in the path of the builder of the initial
stdenv.

* If the environment variable buildCommand is set, then eval that
instead of doing the build phases. This is used by the runCommand
function in all-packages.nix to allow one-lines like
foo = runCommand "foo" {} "mkdir $out; echo foo > $out/foo";

`@var@' in the file `src', writing the result to $out, where `var'
is any environment variable starting with a lowercase character.
Example:
genericSubstituter {
src = ./file;
foo = "bla";
shell = bash + "/bin/sh";
};
will replace `@foo@' with `bla' and `@shell@' with
`/nix/store/...-bash-.../bin/sh'.

we use the GCC wrapper in a user environment, the wrong assembler
will be called. This is not usually a problem, but sometimes it is
(e.g., when using G++ 4.1.1 with binutils 2.16 or so).

Glibc. This is useful when building GCC.
* gcc-wrapper: the dynamic linker has a different name on x86_64 and
powerpc.
* gcc-wrapper: "glibc" -> "libc", because someday we might support
different C libraries.
* gcc: don't do a multilib build (e.g., 32-bit support on x86_64),
don't need it.
* gcc: merge in support for static builds.
* gcc: various simplifications in the compiler/linker flags, hope they
work.

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.

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

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.
