Peter Simons b59b89d9e3 Revert "Extend Haskell generic builder to use new --ipid flag."
This reverts commit ec8b816154. The change told
the Cabal build system to use the hash-part of $out as the internal identifier
for the library it's building (rather than generating such an ID itself). While
a good idea in theory, this choice had an unfortunate side-effect: When Cabal
links libraries X, Y, and Z into an executable, then the generated binary
contains their respective IDs. Now, Nix finds those strings and treats them as
an indication that there is a *run-time dependency* on the corresponding store
paths. This means that the generated executable will always depend on the store
paths of all the Haskell libraries that went into it, even when linked
statically.

Build Status Code Triagers Badge

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
