2016-10-20texlive manual: adds import of nixpkgs in nix-replRichard Zetterberg
I wanted to list the different texlive collections using the nix-repl, as per the [manual](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#idm140737316065984). It didn't work, since the nixpkgs were not loaded. Doing `:l <nixpkgs>` first resolved the problem. This change adds the nixpkgs loading step to the manual so that the next inexperienced person don't have to figure out why it didn't work. I tested this on NixOS unstable (16.09pre90254.6b20d5b) with nix-repl 1.11.3.
2016-10-18Python: update docs with change in default interpreter versionFrederik Rietdijk
2016-10-16Python: remove pythonSmallFrederik Rietdijk
In #19309 a separate output for tkinter was added. Several dependencies of Python depend indirectly on Python. We have the following two paths: ``` ‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘libXrender-0.9.10’ - ‘libX11-1.6.4’ - ‘libxcb-1.12’ - ‘libxslt-1.1.29’- ‘libxml2-2.9.4’ - ‘python-2.7.12’ ‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘fontconfig-2.12.1’ - ‘dejavu-fonts-2.37’ - ‘fontforge-20160404’ - ‘python-2.7.12’ ``` Because only `tkinter` needs this, I added ``` pythonSmall = python.override {x11Support = false;}; ``` to break the infinite recursion. We also still have the output `tkinter`. However, we might as well build without x11Support by default. Then we build with x11Support as well so we get the tkinter module and put that in a separate package.

2016-10-11stdenv/stripHash: print to stdout, not to variableProfpatsch
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName` instead. Basically all usages did something like `$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged. Fixed the implementation and all invocations.

2016-10-02mkDerivation: add overrideAttrs functionAneesh Agrawal
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.

2016-09-03Merge commit 'adaee73' from staging into masterTuomas Tynkkynen
This one was already merged into release-16.09, so let's not have the stable branch is ahead of master and confuse things. In addition to that, currently we have an odd situation that master has less things actually finished building than in staging. Conflicts: pkgs/data/documentation/man-pages/default.nix
