Cleanups are mostly stylistic, like putting src more to the top (to make sure it won't be missed on updates of the version attribute) or using mkdir -p instead of ensureDir. The most significant change here is that we update the package to 1.8.0-jumbo-1, which is the latest tag available and contains community updates which were already in magnumripper/JohnTheRipper@93f061bc41. We're now also using fetchurl to ensure that we don't need to clone the whole repository and keep download times low. And the derivation name is now "john" instead of "JohnTheRipper", because most users would expect "nix-env -i john" to work. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
