for `nix-env -i` the later defined python27Packages seems to win.
Another solution might be to have python26 oder python27 either in the
name or the version. Let's have a look at haskelPackages for that.
Most of the stuff was duplicated (headers, the core library).
The new solution makes the _qt4 package use the _glib one,
because it depended on glib through cairo anyway
(and _glib bindings themselves are just ~350kB).
This also fixes a problem that mergeAttrsByFuncDefaultsClean
didn't merge patches, which affected dbus.libs.
The freaky implementation was done that way in order to avoid unnecessary
re-builds of all Haskell packages by changing the wrapper script used
internally in those builds.
See <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/466> for further details.
It works enough to display bootsplash animations in an xorg session and a VT.
I haven't figured out how to run it successfully from the initrd yet and I'm also not happy with the postInstall mess, but I'd rather merge it now than let it get lost. It seems like it should be possible for a user to activate it by using boot.initrd.extraUtilsCommands and boot.initrd.postMountCommands
The previous implementation used the following tying-the-knot trickery to
override 'doCheck' to false for the given build:
cabalNoTest = {
mkDerivation = x: rec {
final = self.cabal.mkDerivation (self: (x final) // { doCheck = false; });
}.final;
};
That seemed to work, but for some reason it caused trouble with some builds --
not all -- that use jailbreakCabal. The problem was the 'stdenv' attribute
couldn't be evaluated properly anymore:

infinite recursion encountered
I tried to figure out why this happens, but eventually gave up. The new
implementation passes an argument called 'enableCheckPhase' to the Cabal
builder, which determines whether the user-specified doCheck value has any
effect or not. Now, a normal override can be used to disable unit testing.
- update some modules to work with the newer server
- fix many other modules via overrides
- huge cleanup in overrides via better propagation
and pixman include flattening

The new job set has the following structure:
pkg.ghc762.x86_64-linux = pkgs_x86_64_linux.haskellPackages_ghc762.pkg;
pkg.ghc762.i686-linux = pkgs_i686_linux.haskellPackages_ghc762.pkg;
pkg.ghc6123.x86_64-linux = pkgs_x86_64_linux.haskellPackages_ghc6123.pkg;
pkg.ghc6123.i686-linux = pkgs_i686_linux.haskellPackages_ghc6123.pkg;
This gives us (in theory) the ability to generate a Hydra page that displays
the build status of a package across all versions of GHC and all systems. Right
now, Hydra is not up to it, but Eelco says the feature is "on the todo list".
This file doesn't specify the supported build systems explicitly. Instead, that
information is taken from the respective pkg.meta.platforms attribute.
- rename to zc_builout* while keeping alias back to buildout (opening ticket
later to remove it)

Most of these packages are very old and don't compile in 'master' to
begin with, so it's probably not necessary to use them for testing the
stdenv-updates branch.
This allows users to override the 'postgres' attribute with a different version
and have the effect propagated to all other packages that depend on it.
PostgreSQL 8.3 is end-of-life so it shouldn't be our default anymore.
The problem with changing the default PostgreSQL is that it breaks
NixOS installations that have PostgreSQL enabled without specifying an
explicit PostgreSQL version, because PostgreSQL does not do automatic
schema migration if the major version changes.
Thus, it's always a good idea to specify the desired major version
explicitly:
services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql92;
(In fact, maybe we should remove the default value for
services.postgresql.package.)
pitz is a distributed bug tracker, inspired by ditz. Homepage:
http://pitz.tplus1.com/
pitz has a command line interface, pitz-<command>, and a webapp,
pitz-webapp.
TODO: pitz has a pitz-shell utility that depends on ipython, but when I
enabled it it raised an exception. I think it depends on an old IPython
version:
from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed
ImportError: No module named Shell
A broken pitz-shell doesn't affect the rest of the command line
interface nor the webapp, so it is not critical to have it working.
There are not many distributed bug trackers out there, so I hope that
adding pitz to nixpkgs may inspire people to support pitz (or similar
software).
Theoretically this could be automatically detected by finding all
packages named 'linux' and choosing the latest, but that's overkill.
Just update it when a new kernel is added.

Add these new attributes (all default to true):
notebookSupport
qtconsoleSupport
pylabSupport
pylabQtSupport
This adds jinja2, matplotlib, pyqt4 and sip as new dependencies of
ipython.
This commit fixes "ipython --pylab" so that it no more errors out with
"ImportError: No module named matplotlib" (which was my initial goal).
