More documentation papercuts:

  • The pname attribute (in mkDerivation) is not documented anywhere, in particular how it differs from name. Apparently the difference is that name is automagically composed of pname + version.
  • The makeDesktopItem utility function, used for creating menu entries and such, does not seem to be documented anywhere either.
