It is no longer dependent in its + initial bootstrap stages on the system Glibc, GCC, and other tools. + Rather, Nixpkgs contains a statically linked bash and curl, and uses + that to download other statically linked tools. These are then used + to build a Glibc and dynamically linked versions of all other + tools. + + This change also makes the bootstrap process faster. For instance, + GCC is built only once, not thrice. + + (Contributed by Armijn Hemel.) + +* Many packages have been changed and added, but notably: + + - Qt 3 has been added. + + - Mysql has been added. |
