Nix Packages 0.8 (April 11, 2005)
|
|
|
|
* This release is mostly to remain synchronised with the changed
|
|
hashing scheme in Nix 0.8.
|
|
|
|
* Notable updates:
|
|
|
|
- Adobe Reader 7.0
|
|
- Various security updates (zlib 1.2.2, etc.)
|
|

Nix Packages 0.7 (March 14, 2005)
|
|
|
|
* 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 instead of three times.

|
|
|
* Tarballs used by Nixpkgs are now obtained from the same server that
|
|
hosts Nixpkgs (catamaran.labs.cs.uu.nl). This reduces the risk of
|
|
packages being unbuildable due to moved or deleted files on various
|
|
servers.
|
|
|
|
* There now is a generic mechanism for building Perl modules. See the
|
|
various Perl modules defined in pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix.
|
|
|
|
* Notable new packages:
|
|
|
|
- Qt 3
|
|
- MySQL
|
|
- MythTV
|
|
- Mono
|
|
- MonoDevelop (alpha)
|
|
- Xine
|
|
|
|
* Notable updates:
|
|
|
|
- GCC 3.4.3
|
|
- Glibc 2.3.4
|
|
- GTK 2.6
