hosts Nixpkgs (catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl). This reduces the risk of
packages being unbuildable due to moved or deleted files on various
servers.
- Qt 3 has been added.
* There now is a generic mechanism for building Perl modules. See the
various Perl modules defined in pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix.
* Notable new packages:
