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

the build and execution environment. This is very useful. For example, it allows packages built on a SuSE 8.2 system to run on a SuSE 8.1 system (this is because 8.2 has a newer glibc; packages built against it cannot be dynamically linked against older glibcs). Of course, Fix packages should not directly import glibc since that is very system-specific. Rather, they should import stdenv/stdenv.fix and in their build scripts source in $stdenv/setup, which will setup the right environment variables. The idea is that stdenv.fix provides the basic C/Unix build environment (C compiler, POSIX utilities, etc.). Note that only the ATerm package currently uses this. svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=203 |
