In #19309 a separate output for tkinter was added. Several dependencies of Python depend indirectly on Python. We have the following two paths: ``` ‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘libXrender-0.9.10’ - ‘libX11-1.6.4’ - ‘libxcb-1.12’ - ‘libxslt-1.1.29’- ‘libxml2-2.9.4’ - ‘python-2.7.12’ ‘python-2.7.12’ - ‘tk-8.6.6’ - ‘libXft-2.3.2’ - ‘fontconfig-2.12.1’ - ‘dejavu-fonts-2.37’ - ‘fontforge-20160404’ - ‘python-2.7.12’ ``` Because only `tkinter` needs this, I added ``` pythonSmall = python.override {x11Support = false;}; ``` to break the infinite recursion. We also still have the output `tkinter`. However, we might as well build without x11Support by default. Then we build with x11Support as well so we get the tkinter module and put that in a separate package.
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-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
