* Fixed the hash in PulseAudio: I updated the name/version, but forgot
to update the hash. So secretly it was still building the old
version. Also, now that we've realised that the PulseAudio server
and library don't need to be the same build, disable some
dependencies by default (avahi and bluez).

(which is obsolete).
* lvm2: updated to 2.02.86. Also install the pkgconfig files and
build liblvm2app.
* Added libatasmart (udisks dependency for querying ATA SMART status).
* Updated sg3_utils to 1.31.

This renaming prepares the landing of several versions of udev which are
required to boot old Linux versions.
The udev expression is mapped to udev166.

Renamed cifs-timeout-2.6.32 patch to cifs-timeout-2.6.29 as this is the
older kernel version this patch applies to.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=27711
Currently suffixed with 2.6.32.
This pre-patch prepares the landing of several versions of this patch to
support other Linux kernel versions.

Moved the hardcoded postBuild hook from the builder to generic.nix:
Some old kernel (such as 2.6.15) did not yet support the unifdef target.
As a result, compiling them with the current Linux builder leads to a
failure.
Fixed by moving this hook as argument of the top-level function of
generic.nix. This allows some kernel nix codes to overrides its default
value.

The chkdupexe utility requires perl. We cannot change the expression, though,
without triggering a re-build of almost all of stdenv, so for the time being
I'm making Perl an optional build input that is disabled by default.

This patch adds a "features.aufs2_1" to the aufs-2.1 patch for Linux
2.6.37 to prevent aufs2_1 and aufs2_1_util from being options for
kernels without an aufs 2.1 patch. There were several Hydra build
failures as a result of attempting to build aufs2.1 against older
kernels.

dependencies that are *not* propagated to the user environment
(as opposed to `propagatedBuildInputs'). For instance, if you
install `iotop', you typically don't want its Python dependencies
polluting the user environment.
* buildPythonPackage: some cleanup (e.g. use function argument
defaults instead of `if attrs ? foo then attrs.foo else []').

* My motivation for this patch is that kernels < 2.6.36 contain an
e1000e that does not support the ethernet card that is part of the
chipset for the second-generation Core-i Intel CPUs, so in order
to have a more useful livecd I needed to get aufs working with a
newer kernel, and 2.6.37 is the latest kernel with an official
aufs release.
* All sources are downloaded with fetchgit. This is because the aufs
upstream doesn't provide release tarballs, they just add a tag to
their git tree for an official release.
* The make target for the aufs2.1 headers uses a Makefile in the
kernel build directory that requires that unifdef be in the
scripts/ subdirectory of the build directory. The way I've dealt
with this here is by adding "make $makeFlags -C scripts unifdef"
to the postBuild in the kernel builder. Since the builder is used
by all kernel versions, this will require rebuilding every kernel
and kernel-dependent package if the patch is accepted, so one
alternative I thought of would be to create a fake kernel build
directory where everything is symlinked to the real build
directory except scripts/, which is first copied and then make
unifdef is run before building aufs2.1. If that more complicated
solution is preferred, or if anyone has ideas for another one, I
can do that and submit a new patch.
* The patch was tested by building a livecd ISO that uses it, then
running the ISO from within virtualbox and installing aufs2.1-util
from within the livecd environment.
* The livecd was built using installation-cd-minimal.nix, with two
changes to the Nixos tree:
1. boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_2_6_37 was added to
profiles/minimal.nix
2. config.boot.kernelPackages.aufs2 was changed to
config.boot.kernelPackages.aufs2_1 in iso-image.nix
I would have preferred to keep all changes within
profiles/minimal.nix, but I couldn't figure out how to override
iso-image.nix's definition of boot.extraModulePackages. Livecds
that use an older kernel can't be built with this iso-image.nix,
since we don't have aufs2.1 for them (just aufs2). If someone can
point me to how I can override things set in iso-image.nix, I'd
appreciate it.
make -C scripts unifdef compiles the unifdef application in the
scripts/ directory, and when Nix copies over the build tree to
$out/lib/modules/$version/build for kernel modules to reference, it
copies over all of scripts/ except the .o files. I can't speak for
other kernel versions, but at the least for 2.6.37.1 unifdef is not
built by default. If you look at the Makefile in scripts, unifdef is
listed under a comment saying that the following programs are only
built on-demand.
