Magit has seen plenty of development since version 0.7, but for some reason
there haven't been any new releases. This version bump updates the expression to
build a current version of Magit directly from the Git repository.
This change adds buildInputs 'autoconf' and 'automake'. These tools are required
only because we aren't building from a proper release tarball. Once version 0.8
comes out, these dependencies can be dropped again.

I made it statically build by default
I had to fix the zlib static cross-build, because the native stripping corrupted the target
static library. It is not the first time I see this.
I add drobear to the cross-built packages for hydra.

Made octave link with graphicsmagick to get imread() working.
Nevertheless, imread does not work, because of some problems between octave and latest versions of graphicsmagick: http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2010-February/015295.html
Next to do: add an older version of graphics magick for octave.

I introduce the new nixpkgs parameter "platform", defaulting to "pc",
which was before defined as an attribute of nixpkgs.
I made the crossSystem nixpkgs attribute set parameter contain its own 'platform'.
This allows cross-building a kernel for a given crossSystem.platform in a non-PC
platform.
The actual native platform can be taken from stdenv.platform, and this way we also
avoid the constant passing of 'platform' to packages for platform-dependant builds
(kernel, initrd, ...).
I will update nixos accordingly to these changes, for non-PC platforms to work.
I think we are gaining on flexibility and clearness. I could cross build succesfully
an ultrasparc kernel and a mipsel kernel on PC. But since this change, I should be able
to do this also in non-PC.
Before this change, there was no possibility of distinguishing the "target platform" or
the "native build platform" when cross building, being the single "platform" attribute
always interpreted as target platform.
The platform is a quite relevant attribute set, as it determines the linuxHeaders used
(in the case, by now the only one supported, of linux targets).
The platform attributes are quite linux centric still. Let's hope for more generality to come.

Updating the cross-build expressions, adding some flexibility.
Updated the linux headers used cross building, as 2.6.28 had bugs on endianness in
sparc64.
There were, as usual some bugs in gcc. Maybe not many make a cross compiler to
ultrasparc.
For the record, I could build an ultrasparc kernel with this base nix:
import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/default.nix # The root nixpkgs default.nix
{
crossSystem = {
config = "sparc64-unknown-linux";
bigEndian = true;
arch = "sparc64";
float = "soft";
withTLS = true;
cpu = "ultrasparc";
};
config = pkgs: {
packageOverrides = pkgs : {
platform = {
name = "sparc64";
kernelHeadersBaseConfig = "sparc64_defconfig";
kernelBaseConfig = "sparc64_defconfig";
kernelArch = "sparc";
kernelAutoModules = false;
kernelTarget = "zImage";
uboot = null;
};
};
};
}
Although it did not boot directly in qemu-system-sparc64:
[sparc64] Kernel already loaded
Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000020
PC = 0x0000000000404000 NPC = 0x0000000000404004
