- It now uses JavaScript for configuration (only),
so I had to "convert" config for NetworkManager.
- I tested suspend/restart/(un)mount on KDE/Xfce,
Phreedom tested NetworkManager config conversion.
The firmware file needs to be downloaded or extracted from the windows
driver file and configured in nixpkgs.config e.g.:
sane.snapscanFirmware = /firmware/esfw41.bin;
The default setting for extraLibs used to be the set of modules that come with
python by default but aren't usually enabled in our standard python derivation
because they require additional libraries. This meant that users who want to
*add* libraries to that set had to use a fairly complicated override, to add
more entries without loosing the ones set by default.
After this patch, the "standard libraries" such as "curses' are listed in
stdLibs while the extraLibs argument remains empty by default. This allows
users to override extraLibs without overriding the standard libraries.
Furthermore, the wrapper environment can be messed around with in an
additional 'postBuild' step. One nice application of this build step is
to patch scripts and binaries to use the wrapped python interpreter
instead of the pristine one, thereby enabling them to pick up all
modules that have been configured. The following example shows how this
is done for the 'pylint' utility:
pkgs.python27Full.override {
extraLibs = [pkgs.pylint];
postBuild = ''
cd ${pkgs.pylint}/bin
for i in *; do
rm $out/bin/$i
sed -r -e "s|^exec |exec $out/bin/python -- |" <$i >$out/bin/$i
chmod +x $out/bin/$i
done;
'';
};
The ghcWithPackage expression now has an argument 'ignoreCollisions' that
allows users to disable the path collision check like so:
(pkgs.haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [ haskellPlatform ])).override { ignoreCollisions = true; };
See d64917ad17
for a long and detailed discussion of why these path collisions may occur.
The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field. If not, it
throws an exception:
$ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’
These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output. This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.
Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).
There's a zlib version included with milkytracker,
but there's no makefiles for it. I've only included
the header here, but it fails at link-time with
several 'undefined reference' errors, which simply
means it can't find the definitions, e.g. compiled
zlib.
There's bug reports on other package systems although
unfortunately still unresolved.

I actually had this breeding in my nixpkgs overrides for a year and only
recently took the time to fix it and thus revive my video feeds :-)
The package uses a patch which is removing the dependency on gconf and
switches to storage within a shelve in ~/.miro/config instead.

Compiles fine on linux i686 and amd64. Adding myself as maintainer, even
though I'm not using the package by myself, but a friend is using it for
DJing from a NixOS live system I'm maintaining.

This uses a patch from Gentoo to disable Java support for now, as it is
not needed for supporting Mixxx (which is the package I'm preparing).
Hopefully, the patch will be applied upstream so we can safely drop it
here.

To prevent multiple Qt libraries when developing with a custom one, the Qt
support can now be activated by directly supplying the Qt libraries as an
argument (qtLib).
qtSDK and qtFull users/developers now just have to define an override such
as the following one in order to use it inside their development
environment:
vtk.override { qtLib = qt4SDK; };
The previous behavior is still the same for vtk and vtkWithQt4 end-users.

* There now is full support for building Haskell packages as shared libraries
for GHC versions 7.4.2 or later. The Cabal builder recognizes the following
attributes:
- enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries in
addition to static ones. This option requires that all dependencies of
the package have been compiled for use in shared libraries, too.
- enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
linking executables.
The default values for these attributes are arguments to the haskellPackages
expression.
* Haskell builds now run in a LANG="en_US.UTF-8" environment to avoid plenty
of build and test suite errors. Without this setting, GHC seems unable to
deal with the UTF-8 character encoding that's generally considered standard
in the Haskell world.
* The Cabal builder supports a new attribute 'testTarget' to specify the exact
set of tests to be run during the check phase.
* The ghc-wrapper attribute ghcVersion has been removed. Instead, we use the
ghc.version attribute, which exists in unwrapped GHC derivations, too.

I'm using the latest from subversion as xc3sprog doesn't seem to make
proper releases. There are only a few seemingly random snapshots at
sourceforge. And these snapshots are built binary packages, not source
archives.
NOTE: I haven't tested this on any hardware yet.
