- support older versions (which are used by other distributions)
- give utilyt scripts nicer names
- pg_db_postgis_enable: support loading comments
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=21992
I reached a point where it works. Patches welcome - even without asking.
I should add a way to regenerate src.nix automatically too, but the information on what
to dowload is only inside their download script generated after configure.
There are more things that can be added: kde4 support, gstreamer, ...
I did not check that all the buildInputs are needed - most come from the old openoffice expression.

Gnupg1compat is symlinked gnupg2 with two additional symlinks:
gpg->gpg2 and gpgv->gpgv2.
Move original gnupg 1.x to gnupg1orig.
Set default gnupg1 to gnupg1compat.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=21888
Also add gnupg1-compatibility symlinks to gnupg2.
Most packages should be able to use gnupg2 instead of gnupg1.

Changed 'emacs23' expression to allow for argument overriding instead of
relying on getPkgConfig. While I was at it, I also simplified the actual build
expression a bit.

Changed 'openssh' expression to allow for argument overriding instead of
relying on getPkgConfig. While I was at it, I also simplified the build
expression a bit.

Previously, the getConfig variable 'brokenRedHatKernel' was used to switch back
to glibc 2.5, which fixes various run-time problems on Red Hat Linux. Now, the
same can be achieved by configuring
{
packageOverrides = pkgs:
{
glibc = pkgs.useFromStdenv "glibc" pkgs.glibc25;
};
}
in $NIXPKGS_CONFIG. Similarly, the argument 'installLocales' can be overridden
by setting:
{
packageOverrides = pkgs:
{
glibc = pkgs.useFromStdenv "glibc" (pkgs.glibc25.override { installLocales = true; });
};
}
