* nixpkgs manual: Fix license strings docsFranz Pletz2016-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | The wrong usage of unfree-redistributable fixed in ea242619fb0028f830238a0fa1b19277d14508ff can be explaind by unclear documention, specifically the section in the nixpkgs manual describing generic licenses it is written to use attributes from `stdenv.lib.licenses` but in the list the strings form was documented without quotation marks. This confuses people because the package builds fine locally but failes the tests on travis-ci.
* doc/meta.xml: don't encourage users to add a meta.version attributePeter Simons2016-01-05
| | | | | | | That attribute is completely redundant since it just duplicates information from "name". Cc: @7c6f434c who added that section in e39b1f4ec8740e7dd34185c38464db5ac814eed5.

* 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.
