As @oxij points out in [1], this breakage is especially serious because
it changes the contents of built environments without a corresonding
change in their hashes. Also, the revert is easier than I thought.
This reverts commit 3cb745d5a6.

This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
I have no idea why, but apparently the last cmake update caused:
kdepimlibs-4.14.3/akonadi/tests/../pastehelper.cpp:343:27:
fatal error: pastehelper.moc: No such file or directory
Obviously there are more improvements that can be done here,
especially moving headers to .dev, but that's not entirely trivial and
probably not worth it since kde4 is old.
In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow
Upstream changes to the build system required adjusting many packages'
dependencies. On the Nixpkgs side, we no longer propagate the dependency
on cmake (to reduce closure size), so downstream dependencies had to be
adjusted for most packages that depend on kdelibs.
The autoconf build system for poppler does not support building the
wrappers separately, so this slightly enlarges the size of closures. To
compensate, the command-line utilities have been separated into their
own package.
Upstream is releasing bugfixes to kdelibs only through KDE Applications
releases, so this is the correct way to get updates until we discontinue
KDE 4. This also ensures that kdeApps and kde4 are using the same
version of kdelibs; different versions appear to be causing integration issues.
