updatedb could only be run by providing the --output parameter,
because it would use a path inside the nix store as it's database.
The default for --output is now /var/cache/locatedb (the same
as in the NixOS locate service)
Using the upstream patch directly. It's copied in nixpkgs, because:
- fetchpatch isn't usable at this point in bootstrapping,
- the upstream patch creates collisions in NEWS.
This reverts commit 1daf2e26d221712dfbe72f9f6d2f73ef230cc43c, reversing
changes made to c0c50dfcb70d48e5b79c4ae9f1aa9d339af860b4.
It seems this is what has been causing all the reliability problems
on Hydra. I'm currently unable to find why it happens, so I'm forced
to revert the update for now. Discussion: #22874.
The strftime test fails with:
NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0,M4.1.0/3: expected "1970-01-01 13:00:00 +1300 (NZDT)", got "1970-01-01 12:00:00 +1200 (NZST)"
The source in fact marks this test as "ahistorical", so the result on
Darwin might not be incorrect.

- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
* 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.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=6881
* GCC 3.4.5.
* Updated several other stdenv packages.
* Modified the builders of several packages to use the generic
builder.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=4336
* 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.

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'.
