f1166e0bbb * Through the magic of functional programming, let stdenv export a
function to regenerate itself with a different setup script.  This
  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.

baec8f5b38 * stdenv.mkDerivation now takes an optional attribute "meta" that
contains arbitrary information about a package, like this:

  meta = {
    homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/";
    license = "GPL/LGPL";
    description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x";
  };

  The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation
  operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes
  don't trigger a recompilation.

  Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-)

07bc3fbf00 * Push packages from the final stdenv bootstrapping phase to
all-packages.  That is, an attribute like "bash" in all-packages.nix
  should evaluate to the "bash" used to build stdenv, it shouldn't
  build a new one.

  Hm, this would be a lot cleaner if we had lazy_rec ;-)

5b15f75a13 * mkDerivation: accept an argument `realBuilder' (stupid name) to
override the default builder (i.e., bash).  For example,

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      realBuilder = perl ~ "bin/perl";
      args = [ "-w" ./builder.pl ];
    }

1ab4a9324c * The `patch' command is now part of stdenv, so it no longer needs to
be passed to derivations that need to apply patches.
* GCC 3.4 is now the default compiler (old GCC renamed to `gcc-3.3').
* The temporary GCCs built during the stdenvLinux bootstrap are now
  built without C++ support and without profiling.
* Remove fixincl in GCC 3.4 to prevent a retained dependency on the
  previous GCC.
* Always set $prefix in setup.sh, even when there is no configure
  script.

01a1658c6b * Finally we have a working stdenvLinux again.
On the downside, the build process of stdenvLinux builds gcc 9 times
  (3 x 3 bootstrap stages).  That's a bit excessive.

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.

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'.

0fd59fd7a4 * Re-enabled purity checking: it should work now. First we only
checked whether absolute paths passed to gcc/ld refer to the store,
  which is wrong: they can also refer to the build tree
  (/tmp/nix-...).

* Less static composition in the construction of stdenv-nix-linux:
  gcc-wrapper and generic are now passed in as arguments, rather then
  referenced by relative path.  This makes it easier to hack on a
  specific stage of the bootstrap process (before, a change to, e.g.,
  generic/setup.sh would cause all bootstrap stages to be redone).

ce50734cf0 * Started reorganising stdenv:
- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
    derivation.  This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user
    environment.  (Previously the Nix gcc didn't work because it
    needed a whole bunch of flags to point to glibc.)
    
  - Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
    scripts.  For instance, setup no longer knows about the
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.

  - gcc not longer depends on binutils.  This simplifies the bootstrap
    process.
