An aggregate is a trivial build that depends on other builds. This is
intended to provide a declarative replacement of Hydra's "view"
mechanism.
For instance, you can define an aggregate named "critical" that
depends on a selected set of jobs:
critical = releaseTools.aggregate
{ name = "foo-${tarball.version}";
members =
[ tarball
build.x86_64-linux
...
];
meta.description = "Release-critical builds";
};
The "critical" build will only succeed if all its members
(dependencies) succeed.
* Added a function binaryTarball to do a DESTDIR build into
/usr/local. Useful for making statically linked binaries. However,
it may be better to do this in a VM (since if you do it in a Nix
build environment, you can still end up with a lot of Nix
dependencies in your binaries, even if you do static linking).

of Hydra builds more distinct (e.g. "patchelf-build-0.5pre1234"
instead of just "patchelf-build"). If the version isn't known,
append at least the revision.
* Propagate the release name of the source tarball to Nix builds.
Useful to provide sensible package names in channels.

* checkinstall: get rid of the RUNPATH in the LD_PRELOAD library so
that it works with native Glibc (e.g. in VM builds).
* debBuild: use our own checkinstall. In particular this allows us to
build Debs on x86_64.

by Pjotr Prins a while back. This could also be used to generate
RPMs for packages that don't have a spec-file.
* Added checkinstall to Nixpkgs. However we don't use our own build
yet because with it "make install" segfaults in a Debian VM, while
the pre-built binary does work.

(e.g. making source tarballs, doing coverage analysis) to the
Nixpkgs tree. This makes it easier to run build farm jobs locally
since you don't need to check out the "release" tree separately.
Also it means one less input to declare for build farm jobs.
* Removed succeedOnFailure and separate logging of phases. Hydra
doesn't need that.
