Default v8 was fixed at 3.30.33, so running nix-build nixpkgs -A v8
would give us version 3.30.33, whereas nix-env -i v8 would install
version 4.5.107. Now, both commands build 4.5.107, and there is still an
option to install version 3.30.33
Similar to #14272, but fixes 4.5 build rather than generic.
- Ignores errors due to strict-overflow warnings
- Strips clang-only '-Wno-format-pedantic' flag out since this build
uses gcc
Ignore errors due to strict-overflow warnings; strip clang-only flag on
non-clang builds. Concerning the latter "fix", it's not entirely clear to me why
the -Wno-format-pedantic flag ends up being passed to gcc, the .gyp file appears
to already condition the inclusion of this flag on whether cc=clang.
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
The current version of v8 breaks builds of nodejs, mongodb and
rethinkdb. So let's bring back the old package with annoying _3_14
version suffix so hopefully the corresponding maintainers will get rid
of that dependency :-)

This now uses fetchurl instead of fetchsvn and now invokes gyp directly
instead of copying over the gyp command to the source tree.
Also, we're now using stdenv.is64bit to properly determine the host
architecture.

Merge conflicts:
* unzip (almost trivial)
* dvswitch (trivial)
* gmp (copied result of `git merge`)
The last item introduced gmp-5.0.3, thus full rebuild.
+ensureDir->mkdir -p in TeX packages was catched by git but not svn.
