disabled by setting 'strictConfigurePhase' to 'false'
This is necessary for some packages, like dns, because cabal warns about
multiple versions of the same dependency being used, but the usage is fine,
actually, so we want the build to succeed. Packages that depend on 'doctest'
also have this issue <https://github.com/sol/doctest-haskell/issues/69>.
Before this commit, if a haskell library X depends on Y, and X was added to
systemPackages, only X would be available in the user environment. Y
would not be avialable, which causes X to be broken. This commit solves
the issue by setting propagatedUserEnvPkgs to all packages X depends
on when X is a library.
The nix-prefect git script was broken when trying to parse certain
groups of submodules. This patch fixes the url detection for submodule
repositories to use the more reliable `git config` commands.
* There now is full support for building Haskell packages as shared libraries
for GHC versions 7.4.2 or later. The Cabal builder recognizes the following
attributes:
- enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries in
addition to static ones. This option requires that all dependencies of
the package have been compiled for use in shared libraries, too.
- enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
linking executables.
The default values for these attributes are arguments to the haskellPackages
expression.
* Haskell builds now run in a LANG="en_US.UTF-8" environment to avoid plenty
of build and test suite errors. Without this setting, GHC seems unable to
deal with the UTF-8 character encoding that's generally considered standard
in the Haskell world.
* The Cabal builder supports a new attribute 'testTarget' to specify the exact
set of tests to be run during the check phase.
* The ghc-wrapper attribute ghcVersion has been removed. Instead, we use the
ghc.version attribute, which exists in unwrapped GHC derivations, too.
The default target (i386-linux) causes flags like "-march i386" to be
added, which breaks on recent Fedora releases (18 and up), resulting
in errors like:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.7.2/../../../../include/c++/4.7.2/ext/atomicity.h:48: undefined reference to `__atomic_fetch_add_4'
So set the target to i686-linux.

Kept the old hacks where they don't break the build in case they things
they fix are still relevant.
I checked that the upgrade doesn't break:
1) Asymptote and EProver builds.
2) My XeLaTeX demo from configurations/ repository.
3) Some of my own files.
The upgrade fixes problems with simultaneous use of 3D and LaTeX labels
in Asymptote.
Please provide a test that worked previously and is broken now if you
need to revert this update or its parts.
Wheezy has been released on June 15th and on all mirrors the SHA256 hash
of Packages.bz2 has changed to reflect the new release, so let's update.
Here is the release announcement from Debian:

It also seems that the versioning scheme has changed in version 7.x, so
they seem to have switched to a two digit versioning scheme. This means,
that the attribute name "debian70..." should really be something like
"debian7...", but I'm keeping the attribute as-is to not break
references.

This is needed in order to prevent services from starting while
populating the image with the contents of the .deb files. The procedure
used here is exactly the same as used in debootstrap.

9p (with caching enabled) is much faster than CIFS and doesn't require
Samba or virtual networking. For instance, building GNU Hello with
CIFS takes ~323s on my laptop, but with 9p it takes 54s.
More measurements will be needed to see if "cache=fscache" is really
faster than "cache=loose" (the former seems to be a little bit
faster).
