| | * | | stdenv: Don't move info pages to the 'man' outputTuomas Tynkkynen2017-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because if you were to disable man pages via 'programs.man.enable', the "man" output wouldn't be installed and the info pages would go missing.
| | * | | stdenv: Don't move man or info pages to $docTuomas Tynkkynen2017-08-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because .doc is normally not installed to user environments, these manpages are unaccessible by default otherwise.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main motivation for this is to have something to google for LD=$CC. Eventually, this should probably be moved to another section, but we can deal with that later.

* | Python: add buildPythonPackage.overridePythonPackage method.Frederik Rietdijk2017-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`. In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in the package set. ``` with import <nixpkgs> {}; (let python = let packageOverrides = self: super: { pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec { version = "0.19.1"; name = "pandas-${version}"; src = super.fetchPypi { pname = "pandas"; inherit version; sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295"; }; }); }; in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;}; in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env ```

| |/ |/| | | | | | | 1. 'wrapper' has been renamed to 'wrappedRuby', so use this instead. 2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error. 3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.

| * fzf: add script for finding 'share' folderAlexey Lebedeff2017-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So that helper scripts can be easily sourced in interactive shell configuration. `autojump` package was already present and had the same requirements for findind a `share` folders, so I took an inspiration there. I beleive this is a better alternative to: - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25080 - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27058 Replacing `$out/share/shell` with `$bin/share/fzf` was necessary to prevent dependency loop in produced derivations.

| * | manual: add "declarative package management" sectionMatthew Bauer2017-05-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This section gives some details on how to setup an "environment" without having to go through NixOS (although it could be used there too). I’ve tried to make it straightforward and have a kind of "tutorial" feel. Not sure if that’s appropriate for the manual, so any recommended changes would be helpful.
