da3ddd48e4 buildGoPackage: remove Go deps file libs.json
After #16017 there were a lot
of comments saying that `nix` would be better than `JSON`
for Go packages dependency sets.
As said in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/16017#issuecomment-229624046

    > Because of the content-addressable store, if two programs have the
    > same dependency it will already result in the same derivation in
    > the
    > store. Git also has compression in the pack files so it won't make
    > much difference to duplicate the dependencies on disk. And finally
    > most users will just use the binary builds so it won't make any
    > differences to them.

This PR removes `libs.json` file and puts all package dependencies in
theirs `deps.json`.

e71a5cb878 stdenv: introduce baseHash() to replace stripHash()
stripHash uses a global variable to communicate it's computation
results, but it's not necessary. You can just pipe to stdout in a
subshell. A function mostly behaves like just another command.

baseHash() also introduces a suffix-stripping capability since it's
something the users of the function tend to use.

7f7ebe5bf6 nixpkgs manual: Fix license strings docs
The wrong usage of unfree-redistributable fixed in
ea242619fb can be explaind by unclear
documention, specifically the section in the nixpkgs manual describing
generic licenses it is written to use attributes from `stdenv.lib.licenses`
but in the list the strings form was documented without quotation marks.

This confuses people because the package builds fine locally but failes
the tests on travis-ci.

92179785b6 DOC: Overview of Nixpkgs/channels/Hydra/tests (close #11263)
What I missed when I began using Nix and NixOS was a clear overview of
how packages, channels, Hydra, the master branch and updates to channels
relate to each other.

I've noticed I am not the only one, given the amount of times these
questions pop up.

For now I propose to include this in the Nixpkgs manual, since this
seems to be the best fit. However, I think it would be good to include
this in either a new manual, i.e., a user manual, or an 'official'
tutorial.

b8c489e781 Merge branch 'staging'
It seemed very fine on Hydra before it was cancelled due to glibc rebuild,
in particular the nixpkgs unstable job succeeded except for
bootstrap-tarball tests which should be fine after ee994dfae6.

Therefore, let's avoid another mass rebuild by merging now when we don't
have binaries for master anyway.

a7840a9ce8 doc: generate haskell-users-guide.xml from Markdown input via Pandoc
Editing Docbook is no fun, IMHO, so I'd rather store the Haskell
documentation in Markdown format and use Pandoc to convert that into
Docbook as part of the build process.

ec5b66eb4a Enable separate debug info
You can now pass

  separateDebugInfo = true;

to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.

88c9f8b574 xlibs: replace occurrences by xorg
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.

2cd7c1f198 Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
This is primarily to ensure that

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

behave consistently.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

Fixes #7659.

This patch changes the documentation about simple packages. cpio was
listed as simplest possible package, which is not true anymore, gnu
hello is much simpler.
