| * top-level: Allow nixpkgs to take localSystem directlyJohn Ericson2017-02-08
| | | | | | | | This is instead of both system and platform, which is kind of ugly.

| | * cross stdenv: let build package's build deps resolve to native packagesJohn Ericson2017-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the "sliding window" principle: 0. Run packages: build = native; host = foreign; target = foreign; 1. Build packages: build = native; host = native; target = foreign; 2. Vanilla packages: build = native; host = native; target = native; 3. Vanilla packages: build = native; host = native; target = native; n+3. ... Each stage's build dependencies are resolved against the previous stage, and the "foreigns" are shifted accordingly. Vanilla packages alone are built against themsevles, since there are no more "foreign"s to shift away. Before, build packages' build dependencies were resolved against themselves: 0. Run packages: build = native; host = foreign; target = foreign; 1. Build packages: build = native; host = native; target = foreign; 2. Build packages: build = native; host = native; target = foreign; n+2. ... This is wrong because that principle is violated by the target platform staying foreign. This will change the hashes of many build packages and run packages, but that is OK. This is an unavoidable cost of fixing cross compiling. The cross compilation docs have been updated to reflect this fix.

* / | ghc: support building with integer-simple and provide package sets for itBas van Dijk2017-02-02
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the flag enableIntegerSimple is true GHC will be build with the GPL-free but slower integer-simple library instead of the faster but GPLed integer-gmp library. The attribute `pkgs.haskell.compiler.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"` provides a GHC compiler build with `integer-simple`. Similarly, the attribute `pkgs.haskell.packages.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"` provides a package set supporting `integer-simple`. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/22121. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/5493.

By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`, or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`. If the environment variable does not name a valid directory then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory. If the home directory does not exists it will fallback on an empty list of overlays. The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages. The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links are used in alphabetical order. The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like: ```nix self: super: { } ``` More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query the final result of the fix-point. An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at: https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
