* Add tips for resolving https issues in containersPaul Kinsky2017-02-20
| | | | I ran into some issues making HTTPS requests from a container built with buildImage. I've added notes with tips for resolving similar issues.
* ~/.nixpkgs -> ~/.config/nixpkgsEelco Dolstra2017-02-01
| | | | | | The former is still respected as a fallback for config.nix for backwards compatibility (but not for overlays because they're a new feature).
* Add overlays mechanism to Nixpkgs.Nicolas B. Pierron2017-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays". By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`, or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`. If the environment variable does not name a valid directory then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory. If the home directory does not exists it will fallback on an empty list of overlays. The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages. The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links are used in alphabetical order. The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like: ```nix self: super: { } ``` More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query the final result of the fix-point. An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at: https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.

| * mkDerivation: add overrideAttrs functionAneesh Agrawal2016-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is similar to `overrideDerivation`, but overrides the arguments to `mkDerivation` instead of the underlying `derivation` call. Also update `makeOverridable` so that uses of `overrideAttrs` can be followed by `override` and `overrideDerivation`, i.e. they can be mix-and-matched.

| | | | | | | This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc. - Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*. - Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used. Hopefully everything still works as before.
