We are patching g-ir-scanner to produce absolute paths in the GIR files. When an application uses an internal library placed in a non-standard path (e.g. $out/lib/gnome-shell), the scanner needs to be informed. For autotools-based apps, the full path was obtained from libtool-wrapped files; with Meson, this is no longer possible – we need to pass the path information some way. This commit channels the --fallback-library-path option added to g-ir-scanner in aforementioned patch.
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
