`node-packages.nix` was regenerated after having run `generate-node-packages.sh`
in order to pick up dependencies for `elm-pages`. In addition, we add `elm`,
`elm-review`, and `elm-optimize-level-2` to the `PATH` for `elm-pages` since those
are needed at runtime.
A patch is also included to fix an issue where files are copied from the `nix-store`
as read-only (credit to @bcardiff for that fix). An upstream issue
https://github.com/dillonkearns/elm-pages/issues/305 has been opened to track this.
The configure script has changed and no longer seems to provide a way
to specify the location of the x11 libraries or headers. Therefore
these configure options have been dropped.
Very confusingly, the `isPowerPC` predicate in
`lib/systems/inspect.nix` does *not* match `powerpc64le`!
This is because `isPowerPC` is defined as
isPowerPC = { cpu = cpuTypes.powerpc; };
Where `cpuTypes.powerpc` is:
{ bits = 32; significantByte = bigEndian; family = "power"; };
This means that the `isPowerPC` predicate actually only matches the
subset of machines marketed under this name which happen to be 32-bit
and running in big-endian mode which is equivalent to:
with stdenv.hostPlatform; isPower && isBigEndian && is32bit
This seems like a sharp edge that people could easily cut themselves
on. In fact, that has already happened: in
`linux/kernel/common-config.nix` there is a test which will always
fail:
(stdenv.hostPlatform.isPowerPC && stdenv.hostPlatform.is64bit)
A more subtle case of the strict isPowerPC being used instead of the
moreg general isPower accidentally are the GHC expressions:
Update pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/8.10.7.nix
Update pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/8.8.4.nix
Update pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/9.2.2.nix
Update pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/9.0.2.nix
Update pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/head.nix
Since the remaining legitimate use sites of isPowerPC are so few, remove
the isPowerPC predicate completely. The alternative expression above is
noted in the release notes as an alternative.
