1efb6e65d2 doc: document current conventions on package naming 
Mostly: encourage using dashes instead of underscores.

cf4acab567 manual: Document Java support 2014-01-13 13:15:59 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra
5d6259a973 Add a setup hook that automatically sets up $CLASSPATH 
All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH.  Thus, you can say

  buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];

and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.

Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html

The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent.  (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)

a2cbc77e4f Only show/build a package on the platforms listed in meta.platforms 
The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field.  If not, it
throws an exception:

  $ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
  error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’

These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output.  This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.

Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).

754704ea18 Allow packages to be marked as "broken" by setting meta.broken 
The effect is that they won't show up in "nix-env -qa" anymore.

acba9240cd nixos.org/tarballs -> tarballs.nixos.org 
It's currently the same machine, but tarballs.nixos.org should become
an S3/CloudFront site eventually.

629daa2102 Rewrite the CPAN generator to Perl 
Also:

- It's now installable by doing "nix-env -i nix-generate-from-cpan".

- It maps dependencies to the correct attribute (e.g. HTML::HeadParser
  is mapped to HTMLParser).

- It automatically selects buildPerlPackage or buildPerlModule.

- It's documented in the manual.

1abdc56a12 Synchronized stdenv-updates branch with trunk. 
There were conflicting patches of pkgs/os-specific/linux/module-init-tools.
Apparently, the expression was updated independently in both branches. I've
resolved the conflict by preferring the patches from stdenv-updates, because
those patches appeared to be more sophisticated, i.e. they build the manual,
etc.
