If you want to only run autoPatchelf on a specific path and leave everything else alone, we now have a $dontAutoPatchelf environment variable, which causes the postFixup hook to not run at all. The name "dontAutoPatchelf" probably is a bit weird in conjunction with putting "autoPatchelfHook" in nativeBuildInputs, but unless someone comes up with a better name I keep it that way because it's consistent with all the other dontStrip, dontPatchShebangs, dontPatchELF and whatnot. A specific example where this is needed is when building the Android SDK emulator, which contains a few ARM binaries in subdirectories that should not be patched. If we were to run autoPatchelf on all outputs unconditionally we'd run into errors because some ARM libraries couldn't be found. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@nix.build>
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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
