* 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";

* Kernel: accept a list of kernel patches through the kernelPatches
argument. The names of the patches are added to the description
attribute (e.g., "The Linux kernel (with patches:
skas-2.6.18-v9-pre9)").
* Generic builder (forked in setup-new.sh): support patches that are
compressed using gzip or bzip2.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=6913
* To prevent this kind of thing, check that all tools are statically
linked.
* Use findutils 4.2.27, 4.2.28 doesn't build with dietlibc.

This has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
expressions. For instance, rather than write a builder like this:
source $stdenv/setup
postInstall=postInstall
postInstall() {
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
}
genericBuild
(the gzip builder), you can just add this attribute to the
derivation:
postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";
and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary. This should
allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.
* Allow configure and make arguments to contain whitespace.
Previously, you could say, for instance
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"
but not
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"
since the `-g' would be interpreted as a separate argument to
configure. Now you can say
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")
or similarly
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")
which does the right thing. Idem for makeFlags, installFlags,
checkFlags and distFlags.
Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the environment,
so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression, e.g.,
configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];
since it would just be flattened to a since string. However, you
can use the inline hooks described above:
preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";

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.

x86_64. Glibc doens't build yet, though (it needs libgcc_eh, which

* The statically linked bootstrap tools are now automatically
reproducable, just do:
$ nix-build ./make-bootstrap-tools.nix
The resulting binaries in result/in-nixpkgs go to
stdenv/linux/bootstrap/<platform>/, and the tarballs in
result/on-server go to
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/tarballs/trunk/stdenv-linux/<platform>/<revision>/.
These are checked out on nix.cs.uu.nl under http://.../dist/tarballs.
* The statically linked libraries all use dietlibc now (except
patchelf and glibc), so they are much smaller. This is especially
nice for the tools in the Nixpkgs tree, since it makes Nixpkgs
tarballs smaller.
* Use Binutils 2.17 and GCC 4.1.1 for the bootstrap.
* The stdenv is now based on Glibc 2.5. I hope it works ;-)

they're not inputs). Useful to pass through extra attributes that
are not inputs, but should be made available to Nix expressions
using the derivation (e.g., in assertions).

- clone of fetchurl that invokes a given chmod to workaround problems
with inappropriate file permissions (executable files are not allowed
by Nix)
- cygpath tool to determine the full windows path of a cygwin
tool. This tool is used to give fetchurl the windows path to chmod.
- native curl.exe
- gcc-wrapper no longer used
- all-packages.nix: allows stdenv to specify fetchurl.

is useful for experimenting with changes to the setup script in
specific packages without triggering a rebuild of everything.
* stdenv/generic/setup-latest.sh is a branch of setup.sh containing
pending changes that will be merged into setup.sh eventually.
* setup-latest.sh: don't use tar's "z" and "j" flags. Rather, call
gzip and bunzip2 directly.
