This adds erlangPackages.${name}.env, which is usable to launch a shell
with the package and it's dependencies like this:
nix-shell -A erlangPackages.lager.env
This required:
1) refactoring buildHex to become a fixed-point function,
2) moves output of a package into $out/${name},
3) introduces erlEnv (buildEnv, which links in package and it's deps
into one directory - a super-simple plagiarization of
haskellPackages.compiler.ghcWithPackages) and
4) shell function producing a un-buildable derivation to be used by
nix-shell
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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
