Peter Simons 29fed6f834 cabal2nix: update to version 20150807 
This update greatly enhances the accuracy with which dependencies are expressed
in the generated Nix files. Previous versions distinguished dependencies for
building ("buildDepends") and testing ("testDepends"). This distinction didn't
apply to system packages or build tools, however: the fields "extraLibs" and
"buildTools" applied to the entire build. This meant that dependencies required
only for testing would be pulled in regardless of whether the test were
actually being run, etc.

These days, we distinguish dependencies for libraries, executables, and tests,
and for each of those types we distinguish dependencies on Haskell libraries,
system libraries, pkgconfig libraries, and build tools. This gives us a
whopping 12 new attributes

    xxxHaskellDepends
    xxxSystemDepends
    xxxPkgconfigDepends
    xxxToolDepends

where "xxx" is any of "library", "executable", or "test".

The old dependency attributes are no longer generated by cabal2nix. The generic
builder in Nixpkgs still accepts them, though, for the sake of backwards
compatibility. This means that you don't have to re-generate all your build
expressions with the new version, but you *should*.

Build Status Issue Stats Issue Stats

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-14.12 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
