2014-12-26Change occurrences of gcc to the more general ccJohn Wiegley
This is done for the sake of Yosemite, which does not have gcc, and yet this change is also compatible with Linux.

2014-04-02Merge #1901: add preFixupPhases to stdenv; for gsettingsVladimír Čunát
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.

2014-01-13manual: Document Java supportEelco Dolstra
2014-01-06Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATHEelco Dolstra
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.)

2013-11-05Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platformsEelco Dolstra
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).
2013-11-04Allow packages to be marked as "broken" by setting meta.brokenEelco Dolstra
The effect is that they won't show up in "nix-env -qa" anymore.
