store, rather than outside (such as /bin/sh).
For instance, the Nix expression for the ATerm library now looks
like this:
{stdenv, fetchurl}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "aterm-2.0.5";
builder = ./builder.sh;
...
}
where `mkDerivation' is a helper function in `stdenv' that massages
the given attribute set into using the bash shell that is part of
the standard environment:
mkDerivation = attrs: derivation (att s // {
builder = pkgs.bash ~ /bin/sh;
args = ["-e" attrs.builder];
stdenv = (...);
system = (...).system;
});
Note that this makes it unnecessary to set the `stdenv' and `system'
attributes, since `mkDerivation' already does that.
