This is the master branch of nixpkgs, initially pulled from commit 8debf2f9a63d54ae4f28994290437ba54c681c7b
The intent of this repo is to be merged onto nixpkgs master. This will also be of help for https://git.suyu.dev/BoomMicrophone/suyu-nix-test
which I will need in order for development (it will also be helpful to know what to do for setting up the environment for the master server. Currently I am focusing on this so I can actually see what is still missing)
This repo will be removed once the PR to the nixpkgs github goes through

This has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
expressions. For instance, rather than write a builder like this:
source $stdenv/setup
postInstall=postInstall
postInstall() {
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
}
genericBuild
(the gzip builder), you can just add this attribute to the
derivation:
postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";
and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary. This should
allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.
* Allow configure and make arguments to contain whitespace.
Previously, you could say, for instance
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"
but not
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"
since the `-g' would be interpreted as a separate argument to
configure. Now you can say
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")
or similarly
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")
which does the right thing. Idem for makeFlags, installFlags,
checkFlags and distFlags.
Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the environment,
so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression, e.g.,
configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];
since it would just be flattened to a since string. However, you
can use the inline hooks described above:
preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";
