- sdistTarball transforms a normal Haskell build into one that produces a
release tarball by running "sdist". For example:
$ nix-shell -p "haskell.lib.sdistTarball haskellPackages.mtl" --command 'tar tfv $nativeBuildInputs/*tar.gz'
- buildFromSdist transforms a normal Haskell build into one that compiles the
package the an sdist release tarball created by Nix. For example:
$ nix-shell -p "haskell.lib.buildFromSdist haskellPackages.mtl" --command "exit 0"
- buildStrictly transforms a normal Haskell build into one that (a) compiles
the source code with "-Wall -Werror" flags and (b) uses as input a locally
generated sdist release tarball. For example:
$ nix-shell -p "haskell.lib.buildStrictly haskellPackages.mtl" --command "exit 0"
This function is particularly useful for continuous Hydra builds of Haskell
packages.
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.
