Nix, the purely functional package manager
1ddabe1a01
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with nix-env. Fixes #6385. Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way to specify the desired outputs explicitly. |

Nix
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the Nix manual for more details.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
