* Merge #1901: add preFixupPhases to stdenv; for gsettingsVladimír Čunát2014-04-02
| | | | | Without this stdenv change it seems difficult to fix some glib's gsettings issues, as the folders in question may (not) be created in installPhase.

* Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATHEelco Dolstra2014-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are added to $CLASSPATH. Thus, you can say buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ]; and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by tools like javac or ant. Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are architecture-independent. (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)

* Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platformsEelco Dolstra2013-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform type is included in a package's meta.platform field. If not, it throws an exception: $ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’ These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output. This means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764. Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to meta.platforms).
* Allow packages to be marked as "broken" by setting meta.brokenEelco Dolstra2013-11-04
| | | | The effect is that they won't show up in "nix-env -qa" anymore.
