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!

to firefox, but there are some differences:
- don't source in $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig (does not exist
it seems)
- different source tarball (different version that is)
- leave out the postinstall phase

default for legal reasons, but you can enabled it by uncommenting it
in `all-packages-generic.nix', attribute `firefoxWrapper'.

* Plugins can specify extra directories to be added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
by the Firefox wrapper. The Flash plugin need this since it's
installed from a binary distribution, and so doesn't set the RPATH
properly.
* Moved the MPlayer plugin to a plugins directory.

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.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=1463
* Tried to upgrade Firefox to 0.9, but it's too broken. It's
basically impossible to build it automatically. Firefox must be
started once as a user with write permission to the Firefox
directory to generate some files, and this can only be done
interactively (apparently). Hopefully 0.10 fixes this. Firefox
also barfs with link errors if the flag `--enable-single-profile' is
not used.

* 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.
