Hi Daniel, > What if binutils had a release.nix in its repo? How about gcc or > clang? What would the expressions look like in nixpkgs?
the expressions in Nixpkgs would look exactly like they do today, i.e. they download a release tarball and build it. The binutils release.nix file would then customize those expressions with overrideDerivation or some other appropriate mechanism to build developer versions instead, i.e. by switching the 'src' location to a Git repository etc. Best regards, Peter _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
