This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads: Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files. This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at the bottom).

Texinfo is the official documentation format of the GNU project.
|
|
It was invented by Richard Stallman and Bob Chassell many years
|
|
ago, loosely based on Brian Reid's Scribe and other formatting
|
|
languages of the time. It is used by many non-GNU projects as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
Texinfo uses a single source file to produce output in a number
|
|
of formats, both online and printed (dvi, html, info, pdf, xml,
|
|
etc.). This means that instead of writing different documents
|
|
for online information and another for a printed manual, you
|
|
need write only one document. And when the work is revised, you
|
|
need revise only that one document. The Texinfo system is
|
|
well-integrated with GNU Emacs.
