* Move kernel patches out of all-packages.nix to
os-specific/linux/kernel/patches.nix.
* Make the kernel config available under $out/config (it's also in
$out/lib/modules/$version/build/.config, but that's kind of hard to
find).

`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
configuration file. For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
config for the architecture). This is safer than allmodconfig,
which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
enabling a lot of experimental or debug options. (For this reason,
a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)
Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'. This
allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").

svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18661
- Before this changes, cflags and ldflags for the native and the cross compiler
got mixed. Not all the gcc-wrapper/gcc-cross-wrapper variables are
independant now, but enough, I think.
- Fixed the generic stdenv expression, which did a big mess on buildInputs and
buildNativeInputs. Now it distinguishes when there is a stdenvCross or not.
Maybe we should have a single stdenv and forget about the stdenvCross
adapter - this could end in a stdenv a bit complex, but simpler than the
generic stdenv + adapter.
- Added basic support in pkgconfig for cross-builds: a single PKG_CONFIG_PATH
now works for both the cross and the native compilers, but I think this
should work well for most cases I can think of.
- I tried to fix the guile expression to cross-biuld; guile is built, but not
its manual, so the derivation still fails. Guile requires patching to
cross-build, as far as I understnad.
- Made the glibcCross build to be done through the usage of a
gcc-cross-wrapper over the gcc-cross-stage-static, instead of using it
directly.
- Trying to make physfs (a neverball dependency) cross build.
- Updated the gcc expression to support building a cross compiler without getting
derivation variables mixed with those of the stdenvCross.

`selectVersion ./foo "bar"' instead of `import ./foo/bar.nix'.
* Replaced `with args' with formal function arguments in several
packages.
* Renamed several files to `default.nix'. As a general rule, version
numbers should only be included in the filename when there is a
reason to keep multiple versions of a package in Nixpkgs.
Otherwise, it just makes it harder to update the package.

It still does not work, but I think I already get glibc cross compiled.
Next: gcc and g++, and set some setup script hooks on stdenvCross.
It took quite enough hours for this commit.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18351
My idea is to provide special stdenv expressions that will contain in the path
additional cross compilers. As most expressions for programs accept a stdenv parameter,
we could substitute this parameter with the special stdenv, which will have a
generic builder that attempts the usual "--target=..." and can additionally
have an env variable like "cross" with the target architecture set.
So, finally we could have additional expressions like this:
bashRealArm = makeOverridable (import ../shells/bash) {
inherit fetchurl bison;
stdenv = stdenvCross "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
};
Meanwhile it does not work - I still cannot get the cross-gcc to build.
I think it does not fill the previous expressions with a lot of noise, so I
think it may be a good path to follow.
I only touched some files of the current stdenv: gcc-4.3, kernel headers
2.6.28, glibc 2.9, ...
I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated. Maybe I will
update it, or update the gcc-wrapper expression to make it fit the cross tools,
but meanwhile I even cannot build gcc, so I have not tested the wrapper.
This new idea on cross compiling is not similar to that of the
nixpkgs/branches/cross-compilation, which mostly added bare new expressions for
anything to be cross compiled, if I understood it correctly.
I cared not to break anything of the usual stdenv in all this work.

* Dropped "nolongdouble.patch". The patch no longer applies to Python 2.6, and
apparently isn't required anymore either.
* Added access to native Darwin arch utility. Python tries to run 'arch' in
the configure stage, but that binary reside in /usr/bin. To make it
available to the expression, the small wrapper darwinArchUtility is added as
a buildInput if appropriate.
* Don't pass --enable-shared. The build fails if we try to enable building of
shared libraries, apparently because some required libraries aren't linked,
i.e. the linker call isn't right.
TODO:
* Figure out how to enable shared linking.
* The resulting binary on Darwin seem to lack the binascii module.

WARNING: PolicyKit is disabled. You need to manually edit the hal.conf
file to lock down the service. Failure to do so allows any
caller to make hald do work on their behalf which may be
a huge SECURITY HOLE. I repeat: YOU NEED TO EDIT THE FILE

Note that HAL only builds with the old PolicyKit (it looks for
polkit.pc). Reverted ConsoleKit to the last version that used the
old PolicyKit for this reason.

the host to a TCP port on the guest. This will be useful for
automated testing using QEMU virtual machines. Using TCP ports on
the host is insecure and hard to manage (since you need to pick an
available host port).
For example:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 ... -redir tcp:65535::514
creates a Unix domain socket `./65535.socket' on the host. (There
is no proper syntax yet, so as a hack all host "ports" above 0xff00
are treated in this way.) Connections to that socket are then
forwarded to TCP port 514 on the guest. So the guest can do
$ nc -l -p 514 -e /bin/sh
to execute a shell for incoming connections on port 514, and then
the host can do
$ socat stdio ./65535.socket
to run a shell on the guest.
