Eelco Dolstra aa84bce64d * Get rid of all references to nix.cs.uu.nl.

Eelco Dolstra eebb241519 * Write the list of mirrors to a file that we can reuse between
fetchurl instantiations, instead of passing the mirrors to fetchurl
  instantiations via environment variables.  This makes the resulting
  store derivations (.drv files) much smaller, which in turn makes
  nix-env/nix-instantiate faster (4.8 -> 4.2 seconds on nix-env -qa
  --out-path).

Eelco Dolstra a7c209e474 * Interface to support mirror:// in nix-prefetch-url. The function
resolveMirrorURLs produces a file containing the URLs to which a
  mirror:// URL resolves.

Eelco Dolstra 76a8d120a4 * Allow the user to override the list of mirrors for specific
mirror:// sites through environment variables, e.g.

  NIX_MIRRORS_gnu="ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/"

  or

  NIX_MIRRORS_sourceforge="http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/"

Eelco Dolstra 6c4fd2e3df * Allow the user to override the list of content-addressable mirrors
from the command-line by setting the NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS environment
  variable.

Eelco Dolstra 45a2c87402 * Support for mirror:// URLs a la Gentoo (NIXPKGS-70). Instead of
fetchurl {
      url = http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zapping/zapping-0.9.6.tar.bz2;
      md5 = "8306775c6a11de4d72345b5eee970ea6";
    };

  you can write

    fetchurl {
      url = mirror://sourceforge/zapping/zapping-0.9.6.tar.bz2;
      md5 = "8306775c6a11de4d72345b5eee970ea6";
    };

  which causes fetchurl to try the SourceForge mirrors listed in the
  `sourceforge' attribute in build-support/fetchurl/mirrors.nix.
  (They're currently tried in sequence, and the lists of mirrors are
  not configurable yet.)

  The syntax for mirror URLs is mirror://site/path/to/file, where
  `site' is currently one of `sourceforge', `gnu' (mirrors of
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu) and `kernel' (mirrors of
  http://www.all.kernel.org/pub/).

Eelco Dolstra 50321b735b * Basic transparent mirror support in fetchurl (NIXPKGS-70). When
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.

Eelco Dolstra 12ae5363ea * Remove trivial builders.
* 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.

Eelco Dolstra 5941f66f0e * The stdenv setup script now defines a generic builder that allows
builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,

    . $stdenv/setup
    genericBuild

  The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:

  - Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
    gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
  - Determines the source tree.
  - Applies patches specified by $patches.
  - Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
  - Runs `configure'.
  - Runs `make'.
  - Runs `make install'.
  - Strips debug information from static libraries.
  - Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
    `log2xml').

  There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
  builder.  See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.

* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
  generic builder.

* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.

* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv.  We shouldn't
  encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).

* Updated some packages.

* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).

* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
  processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
  a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
  variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).

* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
  accepted by `log2xml'.  Also, prior to writing the build command,
  Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
  built.  This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
  invocations in many Makefiles.  The actual build commands are marked
  `unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
  `log2html'.
