Use the new allowedRequisites feature in stdenvLinux.
This way we properly check that the end-result stdenv of the quite
complicated multi-stage stdenvLinux building procedure is sane, and only
depends on the stuff that we know about.
Alternative would be to just disallowRequisites bootstrapTools, which is
the most common offender, but we have had other offenders in the past.
For these checks to actually fire, you currently have to use nixUnstable,
as the necessary feature will be released in Nix 1.8.
Now gcc is just another build input, making it possible in the future
to have a stdenv that doesn't depend on a C compiler. This is very
useful on NixOS, since it would allow trivial builders like
writeTextFile to work without pulling in the C compiler.
Commit 262c21ed46 purported to enable
ignoreNulls, but it was bogus because it set the flag on the wrong
derivation (i.e. stdenv rather than the result of mkDerivation).
Stdenv adapters are kinda weird and un-idiomatic (especially when they
don't actually change stdenv). It's more idiomatic to say
buildInputs = [ makeCoverageAnalysisReport ];
This removes the need for hacks like stdenv.regenerate. It also
ensures that overrideGCC is now stackable (so ‘stdenv = useGoldLinker
clangStdenv’ works).
The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field. If not, it
throws an exception:
$ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’
These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output. This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.
Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).
meta.license is can be a string or a list of strings. But there is one
unhandled case where "unfree" (or "unfree-redistributable") is a part of
a list. It will currently not be detected as an "unfree" package and
Hydra will attempt to build it. This should fix it.

Conflict in kerberos, which was updated both in master and in
stdenv-updates. Kept the stdenv-updates version, except pulled in the
enableParallelBuilding change from master.

Before this, the passthru attributes were only merged in with the
derivation attribute set, and there was no way to distinguish after the
fact which attributes were part of the derivation and which came from
passthru. Now passthru can be looked at separately as well.

Commit 1764ea2b0a introduced changes to libxslt
in an awkward way to avoid re-builds on Linux. This patch has been simplified
during this merge.
With multiple outputs, adding attributes to a derivation without
changing the {drv,out}Path is no longer as trivial as simply using the
`//' operator, as we usually want to add the attribute to _each_ output,
and even if we only care about one that one output can be reached via
multiple paths.
For stdenv.mkDerivation, we already had code in place to add passthru
and meta attributes to derivations. This commit simply factors part of
that code out into a lib function addPassthru, which takes a derivation
and an attribute set and appends the attribute set to each output of the
derivation.
