Since at least d7bddc27b23da8ce7bc19cfeeeb0cbebdb5a4410, we've had a situation where one should depend on: - `stdenv.cc.bintools`: for executables at build time - `libbfd` or `libiberty`: for those libraries - `targetPackages.cc.bintools`: for exectuables at *run* time - `binutils`: only for specifically GNU Binutils's executables, regardless of the host platform, at run time. and that commit cleaned up this usage to reflect that. This PR flips the switch so that: - `binutils` is indeed unconditionally GNU Binutils - `binutils-raw`, which previously served that role, is gone. so that the correct usage will be enforced going forward and everything is simple. N.B. In a few cases `binutils-unwrapped` (which before and now was unconditionally actual GNU binutils), rather than `binutils` was used to replace old `binutils-raw` as it is friendly towards some cross compilation usage by avoiding a reference to the next bootstrapping change.
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.
