[Nix-dev] evopedia.nix

[Joachim Schiele]

dear developers of nix and nixpkgs,

i was redirected here by viric at irc.freenode.net:#nixos as i wanted to 
contribute the evopedia component to your platform: 'nix os'.

evopedia is a offline wikipedia reader which, using it's torrent 
downloader, can download a set of archives from our repositories into 
userspace as '~/' for instance.

see http://evopedia.info

this project is already in use on my nokia n900 device and is mainly 
developed by a friend of mine. (using maemo)

i've tested this component using a 'nix os' virtual instance in my 
virtualbox and i also installed it successfully using my userspace 
installation of nix in ~/nix-root with the nix-store in ~/nix-root/store 
(not using the default /nix location).

i would like to see this package in the nixpkgs set.
it would be nice to get some feedback in case i did redundant things in 
this package like wrong dependencies and such or comments about 
packaging style.

great project & i love it!

regards,
joachim schiele
