To make updating large attribute sets faster, the update scripts
are now run in parallel.
Please note the following changes in semantics:
- The string passed to updateScript needs to be a path to an executable file.
- The updateScript can also be a list: the tail elements will then be passed
to the head as command line arguments.
This update bumps the package to the latest stable version containing a
few security fixes:
- CVE-2018-12386: Type confusion in JavaScript
A vulnerability in register allocation in JavaScript can lead to type
confusion, allowing for an arbitrary read and write. This leads to
remote code execution inside the sandboxed content process when
triggered.
- CVE-2018-12387
A vulnerability where the JavaScript JIT compiler inlines
Array.prototype.push with multiple arguments that results in the stack
pointer being off by 8 bytes after a bailout. This leaks a memory
address to the calling function which can be used as part of an
exploit inside the sandboxed content process.

The patchPhase wasn't being applied at all.
This patch re-enables that and also re-thinks the setting that we want
to have. Turning off the auto-update is more accurate and doesn't lose
information like it did before.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
