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.

the package).
* Removed the old ghc-wrapper, which hasn't been used for a long time.
* Renamed the "boot" GHC to "binary", which is more descriptive.
(They *can* be used for other things than bootstrapping a GHC
source build.)
* Updated the GHC 6.10.1 binary to 6.10.2.

required all that space because it was building static/shared,
single-thread/multi-threaded, and debug/production versions of the
libraries - as well as every combination of those. Now we build
only the shared, multi-threaded, production version, which needs
only 8 MB. The headers account for the other 50 MB, so it might be
worthwhile to split them off into a separate package (in order to
reduce the runtime closure of applications that use Boost, such as
KDE).
* Removed some Boost versions that aren't used anymore.

Unfortunately, static builds fail because the package doesn't recognize
that libpthread needs to be linked explicitly. I'll fix that ASAP.

* VLC: updated to 0.9.8a. It now uses Qt for the GUI, which looks a
lot better than the wxWidgets one.
* libdvdread, libdvdnav: updated to 4.1.3.
* ffmpeg: updated to 0.5 (a new release!). Got rid of the SVN
version, which shouldn't be necessary anymore.

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 {} {
...
}

Some of these should be longDescriptions, but most others just
shouldn't contain newlines. E.g. write
description = "Bla";
and not
description = ''
Bla
'';
This pollutes "nix-env -qa --description" output.
