Tuomas Tynkkynen a17216af4c treewide: Shuffle outputs

Eelco Dolstra b4bf432709 nghttp2: 1.8.0 -> 1.9.2, unify with libnghttp2, and use multiple outputs
Note: I ignored the C++ libraries, but it appears we're not currently
using them. Once we do, we'll probably want to put them in a separate
output as well (to prevent non-C++ users from depending on Boost).

Vladimír Čunát ee994dfae6 bootstrap tools: have curl without http2 support
I assume there's not much use for it during bootstrapping.
This fixes them as well, as curl was compiled against libnghttp2 but the

Tony White 98ffc61e2f curl: Change default src url (close #12851)
- Changes the default src url away from http://curl.haxx.se

bootstrap curl doesn't have https support.

Thomas Tuegel 02157ab123 libcurl: honor $SSL_CERT_FILE (fixed)
The previous attempt to patch libcurl used

getenv("CURL_CA_BUNDLE") || getenv("SSL_CERT_FILE")

to get the second environment variable if the first is unset.
Unfortunately, this broke libcurl because the (||) operator is C returns
only 0 or 1, so it is inappropriate for pointer comparisons! Now we use

getenv("CURL_CA_BUNDLE") ? getenv("CURL_CA_BUNDLE") : getenv("SSL_CERT_FILE")

instead. This has one downside: it always calls getenv twice! But,
that's a small price to pay for actually being correct.

aszlig fd2cff9479 curl: Update to version 7.29.0.
This version contains a security fix for CVE-2013-0249, for details please have
a look at:

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20130206.html

Thanks to @roconnor for pointing this out.

I'm pushing this to stdenv-updates because I'm not quite sure if it will break
other things because 7.29.0 is now non-blocking by default. Plus the security
vulnerability only affects IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocol support.

Eelco Dolstra e21b6b6ee5 * curl: build with OpenSSL (https) support by default.
* Some fetchurl-related refactoring.  The `realCurl' attribute is
  gone, `curl' is the real thing.  To prevent an infinite recursion in
  `fetchurl' (because it depends on curl and building curl needs
  fetchurl), curl and its dependencies (openssl, zlib, perl) use
  `fetchurlBoot', which is the fetchurl used by the previous bootstrap
  phase (e.g. the statically linked version of curl for
  stdenv-linux).  So as a result you can use https:// urls almost
  everywhere.

  There's also some hackery to prevent a different curl from being
  built in every stdenv-linux bootstrap phase (namely the
  stdenv.fetchurl attribute which allows fetchurl to be overriden
  everywhere).

Eelco Dolstra 501ceef268 * A function `useDietLibC' that returns a modified stdenv that uses
dietlibc to produce small, statically linked binaries.  This stdenv
  also passes `-Os' to GCC automatically to optimise for size.  It
  also tries to prevent builders from linking against dynamic
  libraries (which dietlibc doesn't support).

* A function `addAttrsToDerivation' that returns a modified stdenv
  that always adds the specified attributes to the derivations that it
  produces.  Example (from curl):

    curlDiet =  import ../tools/networking/curl {
      inherit fetchurl zlib;
      stdenv = addAttrsToDerivation {
        CFLAGS = "-DHAVE_INET_NTOA_R_2_ARGS=1";
      } (useDietLibC stdenv);
    };

  (This is needed to get curl to build with dietlibc.  Also note the
  stacking of stdenv-modifying functions.)

* curl-diet: no longer necessary.

Eelco Dolstra 04c272508c * Fix brokenness due to automatic transformations.

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 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'.
