Platform support: x86_64-linux and x86_64-darwin since release
|
|
time (the latter isn't NixOS, really). Binaries for
|
|
aarch64-linux are available, but no channel exists yet, as

it's waiting for some test fixes, etc.

The propagation logic has been changed. The new logic, along
|
|
with new types of dependencies that go with, is thoroughly
|
|
documented in the "Specifying dependencies" section
|
|
of the "Standard Environment" chapter of the nixpkgs
|
|
manual. The old logic isn't but is easy to describe:
|
|
dependencies were propagated as the same type of dependency no
|
|
matter what. In practice, that means that many
|
|
<literal>propagatedNativeBuildInputs</literal> should instead
|
|
be <literal>propagatedBuildInputs</literal>. Thankfully, that
|
|
was and is the least used type of dependency. Also, it means
|
|
that some <literal>propagatedBuildInputs</literal> should
|
|
instead be <literal>depsTargetTargetPropagated</literal>.
|
|
Other types dependencies should be unaffected.
