Eelco Dolstra a2cbc77e4f Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platforms
The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field.  If not, it
throws an exception:

  $ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
  error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’

These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output.  This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.

Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).

Eelco Dolstra 754704ea18 Allow packages to be marked as "broken" by setting meta.broken
The effect is that they won't show up in "nix-env -qa" anymore.

Eelco Dolstra acba9240cd nixos.org/tarballs -> tarballs.nixos.org
It's currently the same machine, but tarballs.nixos.org should become
an S3/CloudFront site eventually.

Eelco Dolstra 629daa2102 Rewrite the CPAN generator to Perl
Also:

- It's now installable by doing "nix-env -i nix-generate-from-cpan".

- It maps dependencies to the correct attribute (e.g. HTML::HeadParser
  is mapped to HTMLParser).

- It automatically selects buildPerlPackage or buildPerlModule.

- It's documented in the manual.

Peter Simons 1abdc56a12 Synchronized stdenv-updates branch with trunk.
There were conflicting patches of pkgs/os-specific/linux/module-init-tools.
Apparently, the expression was updated independently in both branches. I've
resolved the conflict by preferring the patches from stdenv-updates, because
those patches appeared to be more sophisticated, i.e. they build the manual,
etc.

  /var/cache/fontconfig for the cache to prevent programs run by root
  from writing into the Nix store.
