2206d7afe2 texlive manual: adds import of nixpkgs in nix-repl 
I wanted to list the different texlive collections using the nix-repl, as per the [manual](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#idm140737316065984). 

It didn't work, since the nixpkgs were not loaded. Doing `:l <nixpkgs>` first resolved the problem.

This change adds the nixpkgs loading step to the manual so that the next inexperienced person don't have to figure out why it didn't work.

I tested this on NixOS unstable (16.09pre90254.6b20d5b) with nix-repl 1.11.3.

107c035bf0 Python: remove pythonSmall 
In #19309 a separate output for tkinter was added.

Several dependencies of Python depend indirectly on Python. We have the
following two paths:
```
‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘libXrender-0.9.10’ -
‘libX11-1.6.4’ - ‘libxcb-1.12’ - ‘libxslt-1.1.29’- ‘libxml2-2.9.4’ -
‘python-2.7.12’

‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘fontconfig-2.12.1’ -
‘dejavu-fonts-2.37’ - ‘fontforge-20160404’ - ‘python-2.7.12’
```
Because only `tkinter` needs this, I added
```
pythonSmall = python.override {x11Support = false;};
```
to break the infinite recursion. We also still have the output
`tkinter`.

However, we might as well build without x11Support by default. Then we build with x11Support as well so we get the tkinter module and put that in a separate package.

stdenv/stripHash: print to stdout, not to variable 
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.

Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.

39b64b52ed mkDerivation: add overrideAttrs function 
This is similar to `overrideDerivation`, but overrides the arguments to
`mkDerivation` instead of the underlying `derivation` call.

Also update `makeOverridable` so that uses of `overrideAttrs` can be
followed by `override` and `overrideDerivation`, i.e. they can be
mix-and-matched.

This one was already merged into release-16.09, so let's not have the
stable branch is ahead of master and confuse things. In addition to
that, currently we have an odd situation that master has less things
actually finished building than in staging.

da421bc75f Fix #4210: Remove builderDefs 
This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.

This also:

- removes texLive (old), fixes #14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
  separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive

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.

- since March our Hydra publishes binaries immediately,

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.

ec5b66eb4a Enable separate debug info 
You can now pass

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.

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.

Eelco Dolstra
5d6259a973 Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATH 
All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH.  Thus, you can say

  buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];

and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.

Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html

The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent.  (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)

a2cbc77e4f Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platforms 
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).
