* stdenv.mkDerivation now takes an optional attribute "meta" that
contains arbitrary information about a package, like this: meta = { homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/"; license = "GPL/LGPL"; description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x"; }; The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes don't trigger a recompilation. Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-) svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/usability/; revision=5024
