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 ;-)

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 ;-)

Now, switching the curl to this version did not trigger a massive rebuild on
my system, which puzzles me. Maybe it is because no checksum is recorded?
Am I doing something wrong?

* Use the system Perl on all non-i686-linux platforms.
* Don't build Python support in libxml2 on most platforms.

$glibc/lib/gconv/ISO-2022-JP.so has an RPATH of `$ORIGIN' so that it
can find glibc/lib/gconv/libJIS.so; `$ORIGIN' should not be filtered
out of the RPATH).

* Combine most of the archives together into one file (static.bz2).
* Don't depend on Subversion directories, but single files only.
Otherwise any Subversion operation may cause a rebuild because
something in .svn changes. It would be nice if .svn directories
were filtered out when copying things to the store.
* Glibc tarball: removed all .so files, /bin and /sbin, etc., and put
linux-headers in the Glibc tarball.

this contains mostly Armijn's pure stdenv-linux.
* After unpacking the statically linked GCC, patch all store paths to
/nix/store/ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. Ugly hack to prevent
undeclared references but it works.
* We don't need Glib's dynamic libraries in the first bootstrap stage;
delete them. Actually the downloaded Glibc binary is only needed
for building Glibc, since GCC needs a C compiler to build some
programs in `configure'. So static linking is fine for that. Maybe
it would be better to patch `configure' so that we don't need a
pre-built Glibc at all.
* Set the svn:executable property on `cp' and `patchelf'.
* In Glibc, revert to LinuxThreads. Maybe NPTL will work, but TLS
support is a problem.
* Delete most Glibc patches; they're no longer needed since the branch
updated it to 20050110.
* Some cleanups.

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.

Use with a bit of care though, because it will need an extra flag to be able to find the right version of cc1, etc.

`$NIX_BUILD_TOP/env-vars' at the beginning of each build phase. In
conjunction with the `-K' Nix flag, this is useful for debugging: to
reproduce the build environment, go to the saved build directory and
source in `env-vars' (e.g., `. env-vars').

substitution feature (which appears to be buggy - there's no way to
wait for an output redirection, and bash sometimes appears to die
due to subtle timing conditions). This also removes the most
egregious dependency on bash.

even if some build phase failed if the variable `$succeedOnFailure'
is set to 1. If that happens, the file `$out/nix-support/failed' is
created to mark the build result as bad. This is useful for release
management systems that might want to publish failed releases.

* A new `distPhase' to build source distributions (enabled when
$doDist = 1).
* A new `checkPhase' to perform `make check' (enabled when $doCheck =
1).
* Allow the prefix to be redirected, either by setting $prefix or by
setting $useTempPrefix to 1. Useful when making distributions.
* Allow the build or install phases to be skipped by setting
$dontBuild $dontInstall to 1.
* Allow the order of phases to be changed by setting $phases.

("/usr/bin/ld: can't use -s with -r (resulting file would not be
relocatable)").
* Since stdenv/generic had to be modified for this, I forked it in
situ. This should be merged later.

On the downside, the build process of stdenvLinux builds gcc 9 times
(3 x 3 bootstrap stages). That's a bit excessive.

* 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.
