-/* usage
-   see pkgs/development/misc/bleeding-edge-repos/default.nix [1]
-   and pkgs/misc/bleeding-edge-fetch-infos.nix
-
-   Either add repository definitions which can be used by sourceByName "foo"
-   to [1] or config.nix. Example:
-
-   bleedingEdgeRepos = {
-     useLocalRepos = true; # prefer local dist file if availible
-
-     repos = {
-        # the attr names are equal to the repo IDs [2]
-        getOptions = { type="darcs"; url="http://repetae.net/john/repos/GetOptions"; };
-        nobug = { type = "git"; url="git://git.pipapo.org/nobug"; };
-        anyterm = { type = "svn"; url="http://svn.anyterm.org/anyterm/tags/releases/1.1/1.1.25/"; };
-        gnash = { type = "cvs"; cvsRoot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/gnash"; module="gnash"; };
-        octave = { type = "hg"; url="http://www.octave.org/hg/octave"; groups="octave_group"; };
-     };
-   };
-
-
-   to fetch / update the repository given by ID [2] use:
-   $ run-nix-repository-manager-with-config [$PATH_TO_NIXPKGS] --update ID
-   This will also calculate the current hash of the dist file which will be
-   saved to $PATH_TO_NIXPKGS/pkgs/misc/bleeding-edge-fetch-infos.nix.
-
-   Distribute the dist file which is stored in ~/managed_repos/dist using
-   $ run-nix-repository-manager-with-config --publish ID
-   this will upload the file to my server. Contact MarcWeber to get login data.
-   It should be easy to add multiple mirror locations instead (?)
-
-   You can add groups="xorg"; as seen above to update / distribute all
-   packages belonging to that group.
