Tests broke on Hydra as the `checkPhase` wasn't configured properly. By explicitly relying on `nosetests` and injecting `LC_ALL` into the `checkPhase` the tests work again. The license (bsd3) according to `LICENSE` distributed with the upstream package wasn't specified in the meta section which could've caused legal issues. The expression has been moved into its own file to reduce the length and complexity of `pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix`. See https://hydra.nixos.org/build/70689499/log See #36453
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.
