[Nix-dev] Trouble packaging llvmlite, Python bindings for LLVM

2015-08-30 Thread Freddy Rietdijk
Dear Nixers, In the last couple of weeks I've been packaging a bunch of Python packages, mostly packages that I use for my research. There is one package though (or in fact, two), that I can't seem to build correctly: llvmlite and numba. The first is a Python binding to LLVM, and the other is a

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

My two satoshis on it. Looking at our famous brothers as Slackware, Gentoo, Debian, Arch etc., we can trace and forecast a situation: * Small projects can be handled by single developers, with high independence from upstream maintainers (as myself taking care of mpv and xiphos); * Medium and huge
