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*.
For example, this allows writing
nix.package = /nix/store/786mlvhd17xvcp2r4jmmay6jj4wj6b7f-nix-1.10pre4206_896428c;
Also, document types.package in the manual.
This reverts commit 37ff33196fe245d0c12cb1b84389e88d40bbb717.
This can't be it. `lcms` and `lcms2` are two entirely different packages.
Furthermore, the dependency is propagated through colord and should be
fixed there, if needed.
Fixes errors when attempting to decrypt an encrypted message.
I'm not sure that `crypto.c` needs to be patched after this, since this setting
should propagate there, but let's play it safe.
This reverts commit 5960a652f1502260348ad7375ace20959b80abe4.
Build is broken since the beginning at configure phase @wkennington ,
I wonder how you were able to build this.
