All activation scripts run in serial upon boot and nixos-rebuild switch
etc., in contrast to preStart which run before a service starts, and can
run in parallel with other services.
The munin(-node) activation script is particularly slow. Change it to a
preStart script so that it can run in parallel with other services and
not slow down boot (or nixos-rebuild switch).
This reduces (repeated) "nixos-rebuild test" time from ~16 seconds to ~8
on my (old) laptop.
We now track copied files in /etc/.clean. This is important, because
otherwise files that are removed from environment.etc will not
actually be removed from the file system. In particular, changing
users.extraUsers.<user>.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys to an empty list
would not cause /etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<user> to be removed, which
was a security issue.
gcc42 was removed in commit 5add082ab8
("gcc-4.2: Remove") but there are still some references to it. Remove
those references to fix Hydra tarball job.
kalibrate-rtl calculates the local oscillator frequency offset in
RTL-SDR devices.
kalibrate-rtl has no tags/releases, so I'm using the latest commit from
git master (dated 2013-12-14). I made an upstream issue about making a
release back in May[1], but I've gotten no response yet.

Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?
A: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2
[Bjørn Forsman:
* wrap some long lines
* tweak meta attrs (don't repeat package name, s/meta.maintainer/meta.maintainers/)
* provide a version number (v2.0) for 'evemu' (for nix-env)

The one-liner gcc buildPhase doesn't work anymore, so I'm using upstream
Makefile instead. The Makefile needs a tiny patch to work (not nixpkgs
specific).
Also fixup path to 'sox' and espeak-data/ (runtime deps) by providing
full paths.
TODO:
Uhm, seems like espeakedit still wants espeak-data/ in $HOME, even
thought I've told it to use $espeak/share/espeak-data. Have to contact
upstream to get this fixed.
Workaround:
cp -r $(nix-build -A espeak)/share/espeak-data ~
chmod +w ~/espeak-data
