as they become available (as determined by monitoring udev) and
emits Upstart events to inform other jobs that the filesystems are
mounted. This is very useful for NixOS (which currently ignores
filesystems in the job dependency chain - very bad).
Unfortunately, mountall depends on Plymouth (a boot splash
implementation). The patch allows mountall to build without
Plymouth. Since Plymouth is also used to inform users about failing
mounts and get responses, some more changes will be needed.
Probably mountall should emit a "mount-failed" event to trigger a
root shell on the console to allow the user to repair the problem.

useful on x86_64-linux to support i686 binaries: there we need the
NVIDIA OpenGL libraries, but not the kernel module or the
nvidia-settings program (which just cause a lot of unnecessary and
large dependencies).

I had to add the newer PHP because current PHP 5.2.11 doesn't read SOAP
from https urls. Debian's PHP does work - I couldn't find their fix

The Linux 2.6.34 kernel delivers (from [1])
- many open-source GPU driver updates,
- GPU switching support,
- the LogFS file-system,
- faster KVM networking support,
- Btrfs file-system updates,
- the VMware memory ballooning driver,
- and many other changes.
A more exhaustive list of the Linux 2.6.34 kernel changes from
architectures to network drivers is listed on the Wiki at

- support older versions (which are used by other distributions)
- give utilyt scripts nicer names
- pg_db_postgis_enable: support loading comments

I reached a point where it works. Patches welcome - even without asking.
I should add a way to regenerate src.nix automatically too, but the information on what
to dowload is only inside their download script generated after configure.
There are more things that can be added: kde4 support, gstreamer, ...
I did not check that all the buildInputs are needed - most come from the old openoffice expression.

time and space on the new (non-ATerm) Nix expression evaluator. It
turns out that release.nix relied rather heavily on maximal laziness
for efficiency: every job calls `allPackages { inherit system; }'
for each platform. This causes the dependencies of the job to be
reevaluated for every job/platform combination. This is very slow
and (because the evaluator doesn't have a garbage collector yet)
eventually causes the evaluator to run out of memory and be killed.
As a workaround, I've replaced the calls to `allPackages' with a
quasi-memoised `pkgsFor' function. It "caches" the result by going
through a variable such as `pkgs_x86_64_linux', which is evaluated
only once. Evaluation now only takes 4.4s and 545 MiB on my
machine.
A cleaner solution may be to move the `system' argument outwards so
that entire set of jobs is called only once for each value of
`system'.

Gnupg1compat is symlinked gnupg2 with two additional symlinks:
gpg->gpg2 and gpgv->gpgv2.
Move original gnupg 1.x to gnupg1orig.
Set default gnupg1 to gnupg1compat.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=21888
Also add gnupg1-compatibility symlinks to gnupg2.
Most packages should be able to use gnupg2 instead of gnupg1.

Changed 'emacs23' expression to allow for argument overriding instead of
relying on getPkgConfig. While I was at it, I also simplified the actual build
expression a bit.

Previously, the getConfig variable 'brokenRedHatKernel' was used to switch back
to glibc 2.5, which fixes various run-time problems on Red Hat Linux. Now, the
same can be achieved by configuring
{
packageOverrides = pkgs:
{
glibc = pkgs.useFromStdenv "glibc" pkgs.glibc25;
};
}
in $NIXPKGS_CONFIG. Similarly, the argument 'installLocales' can be overridden
by setting:
{
packageOverrides = pkgs:
{
glibc = pkgs.useFromStdenv "glibc" (pkgs.glibc25.override { installLocales = true; });
};
}

The new wmii has some wired behaviour:
- When you move windows the curser location changes.
Until the window manager has changed that location movement of mouse is
ignored.
- window do not always popup in the col which was focused.
- wmiimenu broke
old wmii does not build with newer libixp
Until I know how to fix those issues I'll revert my update
This reverts -r 21683

Here are four patches. Three of them add expressions for games. The
fourth, irssi-perl.patch, adds perl as an input for irssi, so that one
can run perl plugins in irssi. I didn't make the perl input optional,
but maybe it should be to keep the irssi expression light.
