`minitube` is currently broken transitively due to the broken `phonon-backend-qt4`: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/76523277 Although QT4 is fairly old, this package is still built with `qt4` ATM, however QT5 is available as well. After this change, QT5 will be built by default and in case anybody requires legacy QT4 it has to be enabled explicitly like this: ``` with import <nixpkgs> { }; phonon-backend-vlc.override { withQt4 = true; } ``` Now the QT5-only build can be used (which fixes `minitube`) and there are no confusions anymore with the build dependencies. Previously `phonon-backend-vlc` and `libsForQt5.phonon-backend-vlc` used `qt4` by default which was likely responsible for broken `minitube`.
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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
