This builds elisp to setup an emacs buffer with the packages given
available. See shlevy/nix-buffer for more information.
Currently only modifies $PATH.
gnomepanel was part of Gnome 2 and is currently broken.
There seemed to be no runtime dependency to gnomepanel and building also
seems to work fine without it.
It appears that packageOverrides no longer overrides aliases, so
aliases like
dbus_tools = self.dbus.out;
dbus_daemon = self.dbus.daemon;
now use the old, non-overriden version of dbus. That seems like a
pretty serious regression in general, but for this particular problem,
I've fixed it by replacing dbus_daemon by dbus.daemon and dbus_tools
by dbus.
This removes locales, bash completion and crap like that. This cuts
6.5 MiB from the NixOS system closure (which unfortunately contains
two copies of util-linux, because of the need to break a dependency
cycle with systemd).
The -rc kernels are quite likely to break out-of-tree modules and thus
cause unnecessary Hydra failures.
(Note that linux_testing already has `hydraPlatforms = [];` but that
does not prevent the package from being built since it has reverse
dependencies. Arguably that could be considered undesirable and thus
fixing that could be considered the proper fix, but this should do
for now.)
After splitting the DejaVuSans.ttf file into a multiple output in the
dejavu_fonts Nixpkgs expression it is not possible to install in the
user profile due to the collision. The attached patch makes a new
package without the collision for user environment installing.

Subject: [PATCH] dejavu-fonts : Prepare an environment package without
collision.
The xapianBindings version is now directly tied to the input xapian
version, to ensure that they're in synch.
Also, as of this version, sphinx is required to build documentation
for the python bindings.
