What makes a villager spawn?

Question

I have a village in a desert. I took all the villagers out and rode them to my base via a rail system so their village is deserted. The buildings are in one piece each with a wooden door.

I then updated to 1.2 and now no villagers are spawning. I remember reading somewhere that villagers will spawn if they have a "house" to spawn in. I've read the conditions on the wiki and the village houses meet that criteria but no villagers are spawning.

What needs to be done? Do I need to return the villagers and let them "breed"? Do villagers only spawn if they have houses AND other villagers around?

Answer

You will need to return at least 2 villagers. Then they will start repopulating the village. As of 1.2, villagers will mate and repopulate based on the number of available houses. See this post (especially the "your village died out" section) for more information.
