fetchMavenArtifact downloads a Maven artifact given a group id, an artifact id,
and a version.
Example usage:
org_apache_httpcomponents_httpclient_4_5_2 = fetchMavenArtifact {
groupId = "org.apache.httpcomponents";
artifactId = "httpclient";
version = "4.5.2";
sha256 = "0ms00zc28pwqk83nwwbafhq6p8zci9mrjzbqalpn6v0d80hwdzqd";
# Optionally: repos = [ ... urls to some Maven repos to use ... ];
# Optionally: url, urls - pointing directly to a specific jar url.
};
Now `org_apache_httpcomponents_httpclient_4_5_2.jar` points to the downloaded
JAR file, while `org_apache_httpcomponents_httpclient_4_5_2` refers to a
derivation that when used used in `buildInputs` will be automatically added to
the Java classpath.
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
