(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
Old means that we have a newer version in Nixpkgs already. If there is a reason
for the old package to still exist, i.e. because some other package is still
referring to it, then Hydra will still build the package as a dependency, but
we won't want to build old packages on their own right.
fetchpatch is fetchurl that determinizes the patch.
Some parts of generated patches change from time to time, e.g. see #1983 and
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/12815
Using fetchpatch should prevent the hash from changing.

All this accomplishes is to make bison depend on flex, which in turn
depends on bison. (So as a result, during the stdenv bootstrap, bison
gets built 6 (!) times.)
* Remove package name
* Start with upper case letter
* Remove trailing period
Also reword some descriptions and move some long descriptions to
longDescription.
I'm not touching generated packages.
This doesn't change the default but makes gold available to packages
that might want to use it.
Required switching to the gzipped tarball for bison, as xz isn't
available in the early bootstrap.

Alex and happy use CPP to generate some internal template files, but the code
is unprepared for the output from CPP 4.8.0, which generates LINE pragmas that
contain more information than they thought it would.
Conflicts:

Commit 1764ea2b0a introduced changes to libxslt
in an awkward way to avoid re-builds on Linux. This patch has been simplified
during this merge.
Conflicts:
pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/chromium/default.nix
pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix
Merge conflicts seemed trivial, but a look from viric and aszlig would be nice.
- DSH: updated to version 0.7.8.1
- alex: updated to versino 3.0.2
- certificate: updated to version 1.2.2
- language-c: updated to version 0.4.2
- xhtml: updated to version 3000.2.1
Also, downgraded GHC 7.4.1 environment to use mtl 2.0 and transformers 2.0 to
avoid lots of build errors, i.e. with monad-par.

By now, it happened twice that a commit broke GHC and thus all Haskell packages
we have in Nixpkgs. On such an occasion, I receive well in excess of 3000
notification e-mails from Hydra, and then I receive another 3000 e-mails after
the bug has been fixed. Under these circumstances, subscribing to these
notifications makes no sense for me.

Merge conflicts:
* unzip (almost trivial)
* dvswitch (trivial)
* gmp (copied result of `git merge`)
The last item introduced gmp-5.0.3, thus full rebuild.
+ensureDir->mkdir -p in TeX packages was catched by git but not svn.

* haskell-mkcabal: updated to version 1.0.0
* haskell-ghc-syb-utils: updated to version 0.2.1.0
* haskell-darcs: updated to version 2.5.2
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=28449
Several changes, some highlights:
* Structure of haskell-packages.nix updated. It's now easier to
select different default versions of packages for different
versions of GHC.
* GHC 7.0.2 is now default.
* Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0 has been added and is now default.
* Several packages have been updated
(gtk2hs, gitit, xmonad, darcs, ...).
* Some old packages have been removed.

the cross compilation functionality.
- I renamed some expected stdenv.mkDerivation parameter attributes so we can
keep this branch properly updated from trunk. We agreed with Nicolas Pierron
doing a massive renaming, so all current buildInputs become hostInputs (input
as build for the host machine, in autotools terminology) , and
then buildInputs would mean "input as for the build machine".
By now, the specific "input as for the build machine" is specified through
buildNativeInputs. We should fix this in the merge to trunk.
- I made the generic stdenv understand the buildNativeInputs, otherwise if
we start changing nixpkgs expressions so they distinguish the current
buildInputs into buildInputs and buildNativeInputs, we could break even more
nixpkgs for other platforms.
- I changed the default result of mkDerivation so it becomes the derivation for
to be run in the build machine. This allows, without any special rewriting,
"fetchurl" derivations to be always results for the build machine to use
them.
- The change above implies that, for anyone wanting to cross-compile, has to
build the hostDrv of the wanted derivation. For example, after this commit,
the usual test of "nix-build -A bison.hostDrv arm.nix" works. I described
the contents of this arm.nix in r18398.

builders. These are redundant now.
* Inlined some trivial builders.
* Removed a few explicit setup-hook creations. This is done
automatically now if setupHook is set.
* Deleted the initscripts package. NixOS doesn't use it anymore.

into haskell-packages.nix, which depends on an instance of GHC.
This allows a consistent set of packages to be built with the same
GHC. For instance,
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc683.xmonad
builds xmonad and all its dependencies with GHC 6.8.3, while
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc6102.xmonad
does the same with GHC 6.10.2. This is the same technique used with
kernelPackages. It also means that we don't need things like
"cabal682" and "cabal683" anymore.
* The setup hook is now in a separate wrapper package so that we don't
have to recompile all of GHC every time we want to make a small
change.
* cinelerra: this package appears to have an accidental dependency on
the "X11" Haskell package.

Most importantly, this change required updating the ANTLR 2.x expression to
install the Python run-time library. While we're at it, we're building the
run-time library for C++ and Java, too. There is still work to be done: the
stringtemplate library doesn't find antlr.py without help yet.

applyAndFun has a bug resulting in the same arg beeing added more than
once when using a concatenating merge function for the attr set.
I've tried giving the function a name "overridableDelayableArgs" which
resembles its usage much more.
important refactoring:
applyAndFun had .fun and .funMerge only when passing the merge
function lib.mergeOrApply
composableDerivation {
initial = {
...
};
}
to
overridableDelayableArgs has always .replace and .merge
composableDerivation {} {
...
}
