The most commonly used files in <filename>nix-support</filename> are now split between the two wrappers. Some commonly used ones, like <filename>nix-support/dynamic-linker</filename>, are duplicated for backwards compatability, even though they rightly belong only in <literal>bintools-wrapper</literal>. Other more obscure ones are just moved.

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.
|
|
<!-- That's <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-attributes"> were we to merge the manuals. -->
|
|
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 <function>propagatedNativeBuildInputs</function> should instead be <function>propagatedBuildInputs</function>. Thankfully, that was and is the least used type of dependency. Also, it means that some <function>propagatedBuildInputs</function> should instead be <function>depsTargetTargetPropagated</function>. Other types dependencies should be unaffected.

The merging of config options for <varname>services.postfix.config</varname> was buggy. Previously, if other options in the Postfix module like <varname>services.postfix.useSrs</varname> were set and the user set config options that were also set by such options, the resulting config wouldn't include all options that were needed. They are now merged correctly. If config options need to be overridden, <literal>lib.mkForce</literal> or <literal>lib.mkOverride</literal> can be used.
