It is no longer dependent in its + initial bootstrap stages on the system Glibc, GCC, and other tools. + Rather, Nixpkgs contains a statically linked bash and curl, and uses + that to download other statically linked tools. These are then used + to build a Glibc and dynamically linked versions of all other + tools. + + This change also makes the bootstrap process faster. For instance, + GCC is built only once, not thrice. + + (Contributed by Armijn Hemel.) + +* Many packages have been changed and added, but notably: + + - Qt 3 has been added. + + - Mysql has been added. diff --git a/pkgs/STABLE b/STABLE index c227083464fb9..c227083464fb9 100644 --- a/pkgs/STABLE +++ b/STABLE diff --git a/pkgs/VERSION b/VERSION index eb49d7c7fdcbb..eb49d7c7fdcbb 100644 --- a/pkgs/VERSION +++ b/VERSION diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt b/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt index eb158b2bb5e2b..eb158b2bb5e2b 100644 --- a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt +++ b/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/classification.txt b/maintainers/docs/classification.txt index ff29a6013ca34..ff29a6013ca34 100644 --- a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/classification.txt +++ b/maintainers/docs/classification.txt diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/todo.txt b/maintainers/docs/todo.txt index 13fb86068be83..13fb86068be83 100644 --- a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/todo.txt +++ b/maintainers/docs/todo.txt diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh b/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh index 8ca72fdf96f99..8ca72fdf96f99 100755 --- a/pkgs/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh +++ b/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh |
