Nix Packages 0.7

* The bootstrap process for the standard build environment on Linux
|
|
(stdenv-linux) has been improved. 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.
