Close #9501, fixes #9480. By default, xrdb uses GCC as the preprocessor at runtime for X resource files. However, gcc is a large dependency, so replace it with mcpp, a much smaller preprocessor (currently under a megabyte on i686). Arch Linux already does this as well, so this should be relatively safe: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/xorg-xrdb
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-14.12 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
