The wrong usage of unfree-redistributable fixed in
ea242619fb0028f830238a0fa1b19277d14508ff can be explaind by unclear
documention, specifically the section in the nixpkgs manual describing
generic licenses it is written to use attributes from `stdenv.lib.licenses`
but in the list the strings form was documented without quotation marks.
This confuses people because the package builds fine locally but failes
the tests on travis-ci.
What I missed when I began using Nix and NixOS was a clear overview of
how packages, channels, Hydra, the master branch and updates to channels
relate to each other.
I've noticed I am not the only one, given the amount of times these
questions pop up.
For now I propose to include this in the Nixpkgs manual, since this
seems to be the best fit. However, I think it would be good to include
this in either a new manual, i.e., a user manual, or an 'official'
tutorial.
It seemed very fine on Hydra before it was cancelled due to glibc rebuild,
in particular the nixpkgs unstable job succeeded except for
bootstrap-tarball tests which should be fine after ee994dfae6e.
Therefore, let's avoid another mass rebuild by merging now when we don't
have binaries for master anyway.
* authorization token is optional
* registry url is taken from X-Docker-Endpoints header
* pull.sh correctly resumes partial layer downloads
* detjson.py does not fail on missing keys
This adds changes to the rebar3 expression that patch rebar3 to force it
to be hermetic. Now, by default, rebar3 literally can't download
anything. A 'rebar3-open' expression was added for those folks whe want
the normal rebar3.
This commit adds some very minimial documentation to the Nix
manual. Hopefully, its enough to get someone started and serve as a
first footstep for future documentation writers
That attribute is completely redundant since it just duplicates information
from "name".
Cc: @7c6f434c who added that section in e39b1f4ec8740e7dd34185c38464db5ac814eed5.
There's no change in content except for amending the title of the
section to mention "frameworks", as e.g. I don't consider Qt a language,
and it's likely there will be more of similar cases in future.
To be certain, I checked diff of the generated HTMLs.

Editing Docbook is no fun, IMHO, so I'd rather store the Haskell
documentation in Markdown format and use Pandoc to convert that into
Docbook as part of the build process.
You can now pass
separateDebugInfo = true;
to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
This seems to have been confusing people, using both xlibs and xorg, etc.
- Avoided renaming local (and different) xlibs binding in gcc*.
- Fixed cases where both xorg and xlibs were used.
Hopefully everything still works as before.
