(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
Currently, fish does not depend on python27 which is necessary for many
of the built in commands such as the manpage completion generator and
the web configuration sevice. This patch adds support for python27 as
well as man_db for the manpage completion generator. It also attempts to
replace more shell functions with binaries contained in the nix store.
Add these new attributes (all default to true):
notebookSupport
qtconsoleSupport
pylabSupport
pylabQtSupport
This adds jinja2, matplotlib, pyqt4 and sip as new dependencies of
ipython.
This commit fixes "ipython --pylab" so that it no more errors out with
"ImportError: No module named matplotlib" (which was my initial goal).
IPython 0.13.1: minor bugfix release for 0.13, on October 20, 2012. This
release includes 41 Pull Requests and closing 21 Issues backported from
0.14-dev, including significant fixes for ipcluster and Python 3.3
compatibility.
Parallel building randomly fails because bash's Makefiles at some
point do a recursive make invocation to build a file "version.h":
../version.h: ../config.h ../Makefile Makefile
-( cd ${BUILD_DIR} && ${MAKE} ${MFLAGS} version.h )
As a result, both the parent and the child can end up building
version.h at the same time. This causes the build to fail with
mv: cannot stat `newversion.h': No such file or directory

The new bash-completion support in NixOS doesn't require this patch anymore.
Besides, the patch was insufficient for most purposes anyway: Bash completion
modules are spread out over all user profiles listed in $NIX_PROFILES (plus the
current-system profile), so getting full support for all installed modules
requires support for more than one "bash_completion.d" directory anyway.
Please note that this update changes the directory structure quite a bit. In
particular, the file "/etc/bash_completion" no longer exists, which means that
shell code which relies on that path must be updated. I'll commit appropriate
changes for NixOS in a moment.
Including the bash-completion package in bash itself sounded like a good idea
at the time, but it wasn't. After having actually integrated completion support
into NixOS, it has become obvious that this property isn't required at all.
Keeping bash-completion separate from bash works just fine. Anyone who wants
completion support can just install that package.

Add the command-line completion library to the "interactive" version of
bash. That code is *not* active by default. To enable it, run
| . ${bash}/etc/bash_completion
in your ~/.bashrc. If you prefer to build bashInteractive without that
feature, use the following override in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix to disable it:
| {
| packageOverrides = pkgs:
| {
| bashInteractive = pkgs.bashInteractive.override {
| bashCompletion = null;
| };
| };
| }

linking path), and with this achieved bash being cross-compilable.
I fixed the few expressions involved in bash building, so they have well stated
native and non-native inputs.
I also tried to cross-build guile, and with this I found a problem in the
actual cross-gcc: it calls the binutils ld, instead of the ld wrapper. This
way, the programs/shared_libraries don't get the proper -rpath.

`selectVersion ./foo "bar"' instead of `import ./foo/bar.nix'.
* Replaced `with args' with formal function arguments in several
packages.
* Renamed several files to `default.nix'. As a general rule, version
numbers should only be included in the filename when there is a
reason to keep multiple versions of a package in Nixpkgs.
Otherwise, it just makes it harder to update the package.

This comes from:
svn diff ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.
trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.
