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 ;-)

.mozconfig).
* Optionally build Firefox with official branding (so that it calls
itself "Firefox" instead of "Deer Park"). This should not be turned
on for the channel!

now generated at build time (it turns out to be possible to do that
non-interactively, after all).
* Fixed creation of the bookmarks file (and other stuff) when creating
a new profile. When a new profile is created, it's copied from a
default profile which is part of the Firefox installation. However,
since the default profile directory is in the Nix store, it's
read-only. Firefox keeps the read-only permission when copying the
profile, so creating files in it (such as adding the bookmarks file)
fails. The `writable-copies' patch is a quick hack that adds write
permission when copying files/directories.

build. The find bar now works properly (don't know why).
* Delete developer stuff (header files) after installation.

* 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.
