This requires removing also the Coq 8.3 and Matita 0.5.8 packages. Coq 8.3 was released 8 years ago (2010) and there is no trace left of users of this version (contrary to Coq 8.4, released 2012). It is well over time to remove it. Matita 0.5.8 was released in 2010 and because this version was still used for teaching according to the official website, a legacy release (0.5.9) was released in 5 years later to compile with more recent OCaml libraries. Updating to 0.5.9 (or a more recent version like 0.99.3) should allow getting rid of the dependency on older OCaml but it is hard to test given that the package is already broken before this update.
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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
