-# How to contribute
-
-Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions
-under the terms of [COPYING](../COPYING), which is an MIT-like license.
-
-## Opening issues
-
-* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
-* [Submit an issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues) - assuming one does not already exist.
-  * Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
-  * Include information what version of nixpkgs and Nix are you using (nixos-version or git revision).
-
-## Submitting changes
-
-* Format the commits in the following way:
-
-  ```
-  (pkg-name | nixos/<module>): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)
-  
-  (Motivation for change. Additional information.)
-  ```
-
-  Examples:
-
-  * nginx: init at 2.0.1
-  * firefox: 54.0.1 -> 55.0
-  * nixos/hydra: add bazBaz option
-  
-    Dual baz behavior is needed to do foo.
-  * nixos/nginx: refactor config generation
-    
-    The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234).
-
-* `meta.description` should:
-  * Be capitalized
-  * Not start with the package name
-  * Not have a dot at the end
-
-See the nixpkgs manual for more details on how to [Submit changes to nixpkgs](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-submitting-changes).
-
-## Writing good commit messages
-
-In addition to writing properly formatted commit messages, it's important to include relevant information so other developers can later understand *why* a change was made. While this information usually can be found by digging code, mailing list archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.
-
-For package version upgrades and such a one-line commit message is usually sufficient.
-
-## Reviewing contributions
-
-See the nixpkgs manual for more details on how to [Review contributions](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-reviewing-contributions).

-Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
-manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [hydra](http://hydra.nixos.org/)
-build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add

-
-```
-% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
-```
-
-For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
-custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-17.03` for the latest
-release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
-
-```
-% git remote update channels
-% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
-```
-
-For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs `master`.

-  <title>Introduction</title>
-  <para>
-    "Cross-compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another type of machine.
-    For example, a typical use of cross compilation is to compile programs for embedded devices.
-    These devices often don't have the computing power and memory to compile their own programs.
-    One might think that cross-compilation is a fairly niche concern, but there are advantages to being rigorous about distinguishing build-time vs run-time environments even when one is developing and deploying on the same machine.
-    Nixpkgs is increasingly adopting this opinion in that packages should be written with cross-compilation in mind, and nixpkgs should evaluate in a similar way (by minimizing cross-compilation-specific special cases) whether or not one is cross-compiling.
-  </para>

-  <para>
-    This chapter will be organized in three parts.
-    First, it will describe the basics of how to package software in a way that supports cross-compilation.
-    Second, it will describe how to use Nixpkgs when cross-compiling.
-    Third, it will describe the internal infrastructure supporting cross-compilation.

-      The three GNU Autoconf platforms, <wordasword>build</wordasword>, <wordasword>host</wordasword>, and <wordasword>target</wordasword>, are historically the result of much confusion.
-      <link xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Configure-Terms.html" /> clears this up somewhat but there is more to be said.
-      An important advice to get out the way is, unless you are packaging a compiler or other build tool, just worry about the build and host platforms.
-      Dealing with just two platforms usually better matches people's preconceptions, and in this case is completely correct.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      In Nixpkgs, these three platforms are defined as attribute sets under the names <literal>buildPlatform</literal>, <literal>hostPlatform</literal>, and <literal>targetPlatform</literal>.
-      All three are always defined as attributes in the standard environment, and at the top level. That means one can get at them just like a dependency in a function that is imported with <literal>callPackage</literal>:
-      <programlisting>{ stdenv, buildPlatform, hostPlatform, fooDep, barDep, .. }: ...buildPlatform...</programlisting>, or just off <varname>stdenv</varname>:

-            The "target platform" is black sheep.
-            The other two intrinsically apply to all compiled software—or any build process with a notion of "build-time" followed by "run-time".
-            The target platform only applies to programming tools, and even then only is a good for for some of them.
-            Briefly, GCC, Binutils, GHC, and certain other tools are written in such a way such that a single build can only compile code for a single platform.
-            Thus, when building them, one must think ahead about which platforms they wish to use the tool to produce machine code for, and build binaries for each.
-          </para>
-          <para>
-            There is no fundamental need to think about the target ahead of time like this.
-            LLVM, for example, was designed from the beginning with cross-compilation in mind, and so a normal LLVM binary will support every architecture that LLVM supports.
-            If the tool supports modular or pluggable backends, one might imagine specifying a <emphasis>set</emphasis> of target platforms / backends one wishes to support, rather than a single one.
-          </para>
-          <para>
-            The biggest reason for mess, if there is one, is that many compilers have the bad habit a build process that builds the compiler and standard library/runtime together.
-            Then the specifying target platform is essential, because it determines the host platform of the standard library/runtime.
-            Nixpkgs tries to avoid this where possible too, but still, because the concept of a target platform is so ingrained now in Autoconf and other tools, it is best to support it as is.
-            Tools like LLVM that don't need up-front target platforms can safely ignore it like normal packages, and it will do no harm.

-    <title>Specifying Dependencies</title>
-    <para>
-      As mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, one can think about a build time vs run time distinction whether cross-compiling or not.
-      In the case of cross-compilation, this corresponds with whether a derivation running on the native or foreign platform is produced.
-      An interesting thing to think about is how this corresponds with the three Autoconf platforms.
-      In the run-time case, the depending and depended-on package simply have matching build, host, and target platforms.
-      But in the build-time case, one can imagine "sliding" the platforms one over.
-      The depended-on package's host and target platforms (respectively) become the depending package's build and host platforms.
-      This is the most important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will be called the <wordasword>sliding window principle</wordasword>.
-      In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the three platforms for all its transitive dependencies.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Some examples will probably make this clearer.
-      If a package is being built with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal> platform triple of <literal>(foo, bar, bar)</literal>, then its build-time dependencies would have a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, bar)</literal>, and <emphasis>those packages'</emphasis> build-time dependencies would have triple of <literal>(foo, foo, foo)</literal>.
-      In other words, it should take two "rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no longer changes.
-      Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide with native packages.
-    </para>
-    <note><para>
-      The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
-    </para></note>
-    <para>
-      How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>, whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
-      For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time.
-      Now, for most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>, and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly.
-      Instead, one can use the four attributes used for specifying dependencies as documented in <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-attributes"/>.
-      We "splice" together the run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>, and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls the right derivation out.
-      This splicing can be skipped when not cross compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross compiling.
-      Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works with no splicing or explicit access of <varname>buildPackages</varname> needed.
-      For now, feel free to use either method.
-    </para>
-    <note><para>
-      There is also a "backlink" <varname>__targetPackages</varname>, yielding a package set whose <varname>buildPackages</varname> is the current package set.
-      This is a hack, though, to accommodate compilers with lousy build systems.
-      Please do not use this unless you are absolutely sure you are packaging such a compiler and there is no other way.

-  <title>Cross-building packages</title>
-  <note><para>
-    More information needs to moved from the old wiki, especially <link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/wiki/CrossCompiling" />, for this section.
-  </para></note>
-  <para>
-    Nixpkgs can be instantiated with <varname>localSystem</varname> alone, in which case there is no cross compiling and everything is built by and for that system,
-    or also with <varname>crossSystem</varname>, in which case packages run on the latter, but all building happens on the former.
-    Both parameters take the same schema as the 3 (build, host, and target) platforms defined in the previous section.
-    As mentioned above, <literal>lib.systems.examples</literal> has some platforms which are used as arguments for these parameters in practice.
-    You can use them programmatically, or on the command line like <command>nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem '(import &lt;nixpkgs/lib&gt;).systems.examples.fooBarBaz'</command>.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-    While one is free to pass both parameters in full, there's a lot of logic to fill in missing fields.
-    As discussed in the previous section, only one of <varname>system</varname>, <varname>config</varname>, and <varname>parsed</varname> is needed to infer the other two.
-    Additionally, <varname>libc</varname> will be inferred from <varname>parse</varname>.
-    Finally, <literal>localSystem.system</literal> is also <emphasis>impurely</emphasis> inferred based on the platform evaluation occurs.
-    This means it is often not necessary to pass <varname>localSystem</varname> at all, as in the command-line example in the previous paragraph.
-  </para>
-  <note>
-    <para>
-      Many sources (manual, wiki, etc) probably mention passing <varname>system</varname>, <varname>platform</varname>, along with the optional <varname>crossSystem</varname> to nixpkgs:
-      <literal>import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; { system = ..; platform = ..; crossSystem = ..; }</literal>.
-      Passing those two instead of <varname>localSystem</varname> is still supported for compatibility, but is discouraged.
-      Indeed, much of the inference we do for these parameters is motivated by compatibility as much as convenience.
-    </para>
-  </note>
-  <para>
-    One would think that <varname>localSystem</varname> and <varname>crossSystem</varname> overlap horribly with the three <varname>*Platforms</varname> (<varname>buildPlatform</varname>, <varname>hostPlatform,</varname> and <varname>targetPlatform</varname>; see <varname>stage.nix</varname> or the manual).
-    Actually, those identifiers are purposefully not used here to draw a subtle but important distinction:
-    While the granularity of having 3 platforms is necessary to properly *build* packages, it is overkill for specifying the user's *intent* when making a build plan or package set.
-    A simple "build vs deploy" dichotomy is adequate: the sliding window principle described in the previous section shows how to interpolate between the these two "end points" to get the 3 platform triple for each bootstrapping stage.
-    That means for any package a given package set, even those not bound on the top level but only reachable via dependencies or <varname>buildPackages</varname>, the three platforms will be defined as one of <varname>localSystem</varname> or <varname>crossSystem</varname>, with the former replacing the latter as one traverses build-time dependencies.
-    A last simple difference then is <varname>crossSystem</varname> should be null when one doesn't want to cross-compile, while the <varname>*Platform</varname>s are always non-null.
-    <varname>localSystem</varname> is always non-null.
-  </para>

-    If one explores nixpkgs, they will see derivations with names like <literal>gccCross</literal>.
-    Such <literal>*Cross</literal> derivations is a holdover from before we properly distinguished between the host and target platforms
-    —the derivation with "Cross" in the name covered the <literal>build = host != target</literal> case, while the other covered the <literal>host = target</literal>, with build platform the same or not based on whether one was using its <literal>.nativeDrv</literal> or <literal>.crossDrv</literal>.

-    Generators are functions that create file formats from nix
-    data structures, e. g. for configuration files.
-    There are generators available for: <literal>INI</literal>,
-    <literal>JSON</literal> and <literal>YAML</literal>
-  </para>
-
-  <para>
-    All generators follow a similar call interface: <code>generatorName
-    configFunctions data</code>, where <literal>configFunctions</literal> is a
-    set of user-defined functions that format variable parts of the content.
-    They each have common defaults, so often they do not need to be set
-    manually. An example is <code>mkSectionName ? (name: libStr.escape [ "[" "]"
-    ] name)</code> from the <literal>INI</literal> generator. It gets the name
-    of a section and returns a sanitized name. The default
-    <literal>mkSectionName</literal> escapes <literal>[</literal> and
-    <literal>]</literal> with a backslash.

-# Introduction
-
-The Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs) is a set of thousands of packages for the
-[Nix package manager](http://nixos.org/nix/), released under a
-[permissive MIT/X11 license](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/COPYING).
-Packages are available for several platforms, and can be used with the Nix
-package manager on most GNU/Linux distributions as well as NixOS.
-
-This manual primarily describes how to write packages for the Nix Packages collection
-(Nixpkgs). Thus it’s mainly for packagers and developers who want to add packages to
-Nixpkgs. If you like to learn more about the Nix package manager and the Nix
-expression language, then you are kindly referred to the [Nix manual](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/).
-
-## Overview of Nixpkgs
-
-Nix expressions describe how to build packages from source and are collected in
-the [nixpkgs repository](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs). Also included in the
-collection are Nix expressions for
-[NixOS modules](http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-writing-modules).
-With these expressions the Nix package manager can build binary packages.
-
-Packages, including the Nix packages collection, are distributed through
-[channels](http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#sec-channels). The collection is
-distributed for users of Nix on non-NixOS distributions through the channel
-`nixpkgs`. Users of NixOS generally use one of the `nixos-*` channels, e.g.
-`nixos-16.03`, which includes all packages and modules for the stable NixOS
-16.03. The purpose of stable NixOS releases are generally only given
-security updates. More up to date packages and modules are available via the
-`nixos-unstable` channel.
-
-Both `nixos-unstable` and `nixpkgs` follow the `master` branch of the Nixpkgs
-repository, although both do lag the `master` branch by generally
-[a couple of days](http://howoldis.herokuapp.com/). Updates to a channel are
-distributed as soon as all tests for that channel pass, e.g.
-[this table](http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/unstable#tabs-constituents)
-shows the status of tests for the `nixpkgs` channel.
-
-The tests are conducted by a cluster called [Hydra](http://nixos.org/hydra/),
-which also builds binary packages from the Nix expressions in Nixpkgs for
-`x86_64-linux`, `i686-linux` and `x86_64-darwin`.
-The binaries are made available via a [binary cache](https://cache.nixos.org).
-
-The current Nix expressions of the channels are available in the
-[`nixpkgs-channels`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels) repository,
-which has branches corresponding to the available channels. There is also the
-[Nixpkgs Monitor](http://monitor.nixos.org) which keeps track of updates
-and security vulnerabilities.

+xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix"><filename>pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix</filename></link>,
+rather than <filename>pkgs/all-packages.nix</filename>.  Most Perl
+packages are so straight-forward to build that they are defined here
+directly, rather than having a separate function for each package
+called from <filename>perl-packages.nix</filename>.  However, more
+complicated packages should be put in a separate file, typically in
+<filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules</filename>.  Here is an
+example of the former:
+
+<programlisting>
+ClassC3 = buildPerlPackage rec {
+  name = "Class-C3-0.21";
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/${name}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "1bl8z095y4js66pwxnm7s853pi9czala4sqc743fdlnk27kq94gz";
+  };
+};
+</programlisting>
+
+Note the use of <literal>mirror://cpan/</literal>, and the
+<literal>${name}</literal> in the URL definition to ensure that the
+name attribute is consistent with the source that we’re actually
+downloading.  Perl packages are made available in
+<filename>all-packages.nix</filename> through the variable
+<varname>perlPackages</varname>.  For instance, if you have a package
+that needs <varname>ClassC3</varname>, you would typically write
+
+<programlisting>
+foo = import ../path/to/foo.nix {
+  inherit stdenv fetchurl ...;
+  inherit (perlPackages) ClassC3;
+};
+</programlisting>
+
+in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>.  You can test building a
+Perl package as follows:
+
+<screen>
+$ nix-build -A perlPackages.ClassC3
+</screen>
+
+<varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> adds <literal>perl-</literal> to
+the start of the name attribute, so the package above is actually
+called <literal>perl-Class-C3-0.21</literal>.  So to install it, you
+can say:
+
+<screen>
+$ nix-env -i perl-Class-C3
+</screen>
+
+(Of course you can also install using the attribute name:
+<literal>nix-env -i -A perlPackages.ClassC3</literal>.)</para>
+
+<para>So what does <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> do?  It does
+the following:
+
+<orderedlist>
+
+  <listitem><para>In the configure phase, it calls <literal>perl
+  Makefile.PL</literal> to generate a Makefile.  You can set the
+  variable <varname>makeMakerFlags</varname> to pass flags to
+  <filename>Makefile.PL</filename></para></listitem>
+
+  <listitem><para>It adds the contents of the <envar>PERL5LIB</envar>
+  environment variable to <literal>#! .../bin/perl</literal> line of
+  Perl scripts as <literal>-I<replaceable>dir</replaceable></literal>
+  flags.  This ensures that a script can find its
+  dependencies.</para></listitem>
+
+  <listitem><para>In the fixup phase, it writes the propagated build
+  inputs (<varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>) to the file
+  <filename>$out/nix-support/propagated-user-env-packages</filename>.
+  <command>nix-env</command> recursively installs all packages listed
+  in this file when you install a package that has it.  This ensures
+  that a Perl package can find its dependencies.</para></listitem>
+
+</orderedlist>
+
+</para>
+
+<para><varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> is built on top of
+<varname>stdenv</varname>, so everything can be customised in the
+usual way.  For instance, the <literal>BerkeleyDB</literal> module has
+a <varname>preConfigure</varname> hook to generate a configuration
+file used by <filename>Makefile.PL</filename>:
+
+<programlisting>
+{buildPerlPackage, fetchurl, db}:
+
+buildPerlPackage rec {
+  name = "BerkeleyDB-0.36";
+
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/${name}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "07xf50riarb60l1h6m2dqmql8q5dij619712fsgw7ach04d8g3z1";
+  };
+
+  preConfigure = ''
+    echo "LIB = ${db}/lib" > config.in
+    echo "INCLUDE = ${db}/include" >> config.in
+  '';
+}
+</programlisting>
+
+</para>
+
+<para>Dependencies on other Perl packages can be specified in the
+<varname>buildInputs</varname> and
+<varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname> attributes.  If something is
+exclusively a build-time dependency, use
+<varname>buildInputs</varname>; if it’s (also) a runtime dependency,
+use <varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>.  For instance, this
+builds a Perl module that has runtime dependencies on a bunch of other
+modules:
+
+<programlisting>
+ClassC3Componentised = buildPerlPackage rec {
+  name = "Class-C3-Componentised-1.0004";
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/A/AS/ASH/${name}.tar.gz";
+    sha256 = "0xql73jkcdbq4q9m0b0rnca6nrlvf5hyzy8is0crdk65bynvs8q1";
+  };
+  propagatedBuildInputs = [
+    ClassC3 ClassInspector TestException MROCompat
+  ];
+};
+</programlisting>
+
+</para>
+
+<section><title>Generation from CPAN</title>
+
+<para>Nix expressions for Perl packages can be generated (almost)
+automatically from CPAN.  This is done by the program
+<command>nix-generate-from-cpan</command>, which can be installed
+as follows:</para>
+
+<screen>
+$ nix-env -i nix-generate-from-cpan
+</screen>
+
+<para>This program takes a Perl module name, looks it up on CPAN,
+fetches and unpacks the corresponding package, and prints a Nix
+expression on standard output.  For example:
+
+<screen>
+$ nix-generate-from-cpan XML::Simple
+  XMLSimple = buildPerlPackage {
+    name = "XML-Simple-2.20";
+    src = fetchurl {
+      url = mirror://cpan/authors/id/G/GR/GRANTM/XML-Simple-2.20.tar.gz;
+      sha256 = "5cff13d0802792da1eb45895ce1be461903d98ec97c9c953bc8406af7294434a";
+    };
+    propagatedBuildInputs = [ XMLNamespaceSupport XMLSAX XMLSAXExpat ];
+    meta = {
+      description = "Easily read/write XML (esp config files)";
+      license = "perl";
+    };
+  };

+  Python packages that

+  which many Python packages do nowadays, can be built very simply using

+  in <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix"><filename>pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix</filename></link>

+  Most of them are simple.  For example:
+
+  <programlisting>
+twisted = buildPythonPackage {
+  name = "twisted-8.1.0";
+
+  src = fetchurl {
+    url = http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/8.1/Twisted-8.1.0.tar.bz2;

+
+<para>Ant-based Java packages are typically built from source as follows:

+<programlisting>
+stdenv.mkDerivation {
+  name = "...";
+  src = fetchurl { ... };
+
+  buildInputs = [ jdk ant ];
+
+  buildPhase = "ant";
+}
+</programlisting>
+
+Note that <varname>jdk</varname> is an alias for the OpenJDK.</para>
+
+<para>JAR files that are intended to be used by other packages should
+be installed in <filename>$out/share/java</filename>.  The OpenJDK has
+a stdenv setup hook that adds any JARs in the
+<filename>share/java</filename> directories of the build inputs to the
+<envar>CLASSPATH</envar> environment variable.  For instance, if the
+package <literal>libfoo</literal> installs a JAR named
+<filename>foo.jar</filename> in its <filename>share/java</filename>
+directory, and another package declares the attribute
+
+<programlisting>
+buildInputs = [ jdk libfoo ];
+</programlisting>
+
+then <envar>CLASSPATH</envar> will be set to
+<filename>/nix/store/...-libfoo/share/java/foo.jar</filename>.</para>
+
+<para>Private JARs
+should be installed in a location like
+<filename>$out/share/<replaceable>package-name</replaceable></filename>.</para>
+
+<para>If your Java package provides a program, you need to generate a
+wrapper script to run it using the OpenJRE.  You can use
+<literal>makeWrapper</literal> for this:
+
+<programlisting>
+buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
+
+installPhase =
+  ''
+    mkdir -p $out/bin
+    makeWrapper ${jre}/bin/java $out/bin/foo \
+      --add-flags "-cp $out/share/java/foo.jar org.foo.Main"
+  '';
+</programlisting>
+
+Note the use of <literal>jre</literal>, which is the part of the
+OpenJDK package that contains the Java Runtime Environment.  By using
+<literal>${jre}/bin/java</literal> instead of
+<literal>${jdk}/bin/java</literal>, you prevent your package from
+depending on the JDK at runtime.</para>
+
+<para>It is possible to use a different Java compiler than
+<command>javac</command> from the OpenJDK.  For instance, to use the
+Eclipse Java Compiler:
+
+<programlisting>
+buildInputs = [ jre ant ecj ];
+</programlisting>
+
+(Note that here you don’t need the full JDK as an input, but just the
+JRE.)  The ECJ has a stdenv setup hook that sets some environment
+variables to cause Ant to use ECJ, but this doesn’t work with all Ant
+files.  Similarly, you can use the GNU Java Compiler:
+
+<programlisting>
+buildInputs = [ gcj ant ];
+</programlisting>
+
+Here, Ant will automatically use <command>gij</command> (the GNU Java
+Runtime) instead of the OpenJRE.</para>

-## How to install Haskell packages
-
-Nixpkgs distributes build instructions for all Haskell packages registered on
-[Hackage](http://hackage.haskell.org/), but strangely enough normal Nix package
-lookups don't seem to discover any of them, except for the default version of ghc, cabal-install, and stack:
-```
-$ nix-env -i alex
-error: selector ‘alex’ matches no derivations
-$ nix-env -qa ghc
-ghc-7.10.2
-```
-
-The Haskell package set is not registered in the top-level namespace because it
-is *huge*. If all Haskell packages were visible to these commands, then
-name-based search/install operations would be much slower than they are now. We
-avoided that by keeping all Haskell-related packages in a separate attribute
-set called `haskellPackages`, which the following command will list:
-```
-$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskellPackages
-haskellPackages.a50         a50-0.5
-haskellPackages.abacate     haskell-abacate-0.0.0.0
-haskellPackages.abcBridge   haskell-abcBridge-0.12
-haskellPackages.afv         afv-0.1.1
-haskellPackages.alex        alex-3.1.4
-haskellPackages.Allure      Allure-0.4.101.1
-haskellPackages.alms        alms-0.6.7
-[... some 8000 entries omitted  ...]
-```
-
-To install any of those packages into your profile, refer to them by their
-attribute path (first column):
-```shell
-nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.Allure ...
-```
-
-The attribute path of any Haskell packages corresponds to the name of that
-particular package on Hackage: the package `cabal-install` has the attribute
-`haskellPackages.cabal-install`, and so on. (Actually, this convention causes
-trouble with packages like `3dmodels` and `4Blocks`, because these names are
-invalid identifiers in the Nix language. The issue of how to deal with these
-rare corner cases is currently unresolved.)
-
-Haskell packages who's Nix name (second column) begins with a `haskell-` prefix
-are packages that provide a library whereas packages without that prefix
-provide just executables. Libraries may provide executables too, though: the
-package `haskell-pandoc`, for example, installs both a library and an
-application. You can install and use Haskell executables just like any other
-program in Nixpkgs, but using Haskell libraries for development is a bit
-trickier and we'll address that subject in great detail in section [How to
-create a development environment].
-
-Attribute paths are deterministic inside of Nixpkgs, but the path necessary to
-reach Nixpkgs varies from system to system. We dodged that problem by giving
-`nix-env` an explicit `-f "<nixpkgs>"` parameter, but if you call `nix-env`
-without that flag, then chances are the invocation fails:
-```
-$ nix-env -iA haskellPackages.cabal-install
-error: attribute ‘haskellPackages’ in selection path
-       ‘haskellPackages.cabal-install’ not found
-```
-
-On NixOS, for example, Nixpkgs does *not* exist in the top-level namespace by
-default. To figure out the proper attribute path, it's easiest to query for the
-path of a well-known Nixpkgs package, i.e.:
-```
-$ nix-env -qaP coreutils
-nixos.coreutils  coreutils-8.23
-```
-
-If your system responds like that (most NixOS installations will), then the
-attribute path to `haskellPackages` is `nixos.haskellPackages`. Thus, if you
-want to use `nix-env` without giving an explicit `-f` flag, then that's the way
-to do it:
-```shell
-nix-env -qaP -A nixos.haskellPackages
-nix-env -iA nixos.haskellPackages.cabal-install
-```
-
-Our current default compiler is GHC 7.10.x and the `haskellPackages` set
-contains packages built with that particular version. Nixpkgs contains the
-latest major release of every GHC since 6.10.4, however, and there is a whole
-family of package sets available that defines Hackage packages built with each
-of those compilers, too:
-```shell
-nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc6123
-nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc763
-```
-
-The name `haskellPackages` is really just a synonym for
-`haskell.packages.ghc7102`, because we prefer that package set internally and
-recommend it to our users as their default choice, but ultimately you are free
-to compile your Haskell packages with any GHC version you please. The following
-command displays the complete list of available compilers:
-```
-$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.compiler
-haskell.compiler.ghc6104        ghc-6.10.4
-haskell.compiler.ghc6123        ghc-6.12.3
-haskell.compiler.ghc704         ghc-7.0.4
-haskell.compiler.ghc722         ghc-7.2.2
-haskell.compiler.ghc742         ghc-7.4.2
-haskell.compiler.ghc763         ghc-7.6.3
-haskell.compiler.ghc784         ghc-7.8.4
-haskell.compiler.ghc7102        ghc-7.10.2
-haskell.compiler.ghcHEAD        ghc-7.11.20150402
-haskell.compiler.ghcNokinds     ghc-nokinds-7.11.20150704
-haskell.compiler.ghcjs          ghcjs-0.1.0
-haskell.compiler.jhc            jhc-0.8.2
-haskell.compiler.uhc            uhc-1.1.9.0
-```
-
-We have no package sets for `jhc` or `uhc` yet, unfortunately, but for every
-version of GHC listed above, there exists a package set based on that compiler.
-Also, the attributes `haskell.compiler.ghcXYC` and
-`haskell.packages.ghcXYC.ghc` are synonymous for the sake of convenience.
-
-## How to create a development environment
-
-### How to install a compiler
-
-A simple development environment consists of a Haskell compiler and one or both
-of the tools `cabal-install` and `stack`. We saw in section
-[How to install Haskell packages] how you can install those programs into your
-user profile:
-```shell
-nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.cabal-install
-```
-
-Instead of the default package set `haskellPackages`, you can also use the more
-precise name `haskell.compiler.ghc7102`, which has the advantage that it refers
-to the same GHC version regardless of what Nixpkgs considers "default" at any
-given time.
-
-Once you've made those tools available in `$PATH`, it's possible to build
-Hackage packages the same way people without access to Nix do it all the time:
-```shell
-cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
-cabal install -j --dependencies-only
-cabal configure
-cabal build
-```
-
-If you enjoy working with Cabal sandboxes, then that's entirely possible too:
-just execute the command
-```shell
-cabal sandbox init
-```
-before installing the required dependencies.
-
-The `nix-shell` utility makes it easy to switch to a different compiler
-version; just enter the Nix shell environment with the command
-```shell
-nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784
-```
-to bring GHC 7.8.4 into `$PATH`. Alternatively, you can use Stack instead of
-`nix-shell` directly to select compiler versions and other build tools
-per-project. It uses `nix-shell` under the hood when Nix support is turned on.
-See [How to build a Haskell project using Stack].
-
-If you're using `cabal-install`, re-running `cabal configure` inside the spawned
-shell switches your build to use that compiler instead. If you're working on
-a project that doesn't depend on any additional system libraries outside of GHC,
-then it's even sufficient to just run the `cabal configure` command inside of
-the shell:
-```shell
-nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784 --command "cabal configure"
-```
-
-Afterwards, all other commands like `cabal build` work just fine in any shell
-environment, because the configure phase recorded the absolute paths to all
-required tools like GHC in its build configuration inside of the `dist/`
-directory. Please note, however, that `nix-collect-garbage` can break such an
-environment because the Nix store paths created by `nix-shell` aren't "alive"
-anymore once `nix-shell` has terminated. If you find that your Haskell builds
-no longer work after garbage collection, then you'll have to re-run `cabal
-configure` inside of a new `nix-shell` environment.
-
-### How to install a compiler with libraries
-
-GHC expects to find all installed libraries inside of its own `lib` directory.
-This approach works fine on traditional Unix systems, but it doesn't work for
-Nix, because GHC's store path is immutable once it's built. We cannot install
-additional libraries into that location. As a consequence, our copies of GHC
-don't know any packages except their own core libraries, like `base`,
-`containers`, `Cabal`, etc.
-
-We can register additional libraries to GHC, however, using a special build
-function called `ghcWithPackages`. That function expects one argument: a
-function that maps from an attribute set of Haskell packages to a list of
-packages, which determines the libraries known to that particular version of
-GHC. For example, the Nix expression `ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])`
-generates a copy of GHC that has the `mtl` library registered in addition to
-its normal core packages:
-```
-$ nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])"
-
-[nix-shell:~]$ ghc-pkg list mtl
-/nix/store/zy79...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d:
-    mtl-2.2.1
-```
-
-This function allows users to define their own development environment by means
-of an override. After adding the following snippet to `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix`,
-```nix
-{
-  packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-  {
-    myHaskellEnv = self.haskell.packages.ghc7102.ghcWithPackages
-                     (haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
-                       # libraries
-                       arrows async cgi criterion
-                       # tools
-                       cabal-install haskintex
-                     ]);
-  };
-}
-```
-it's possible to install that compiler with `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA
-myHaskellEnv`. If you'd like to switch that development environment to a
-different version of GHC, just replace the `ghc7102` bit in the previous
-definition with the appropriate name. Of course, it's also possible to define
-any number of these development environments! (You can't install two of them
-into the same profile at the same time, though, because that would result in
-file conflicts.)
-
-The generated `ghc` program is a wrapper script that re-directs the real
-GHC executable to use a new `lib` directory --- one that we specifically
-constructed to contain all those packages the user requested:
-```
-$ cat $(type -p ghc)
-#! /nix/store/xlxj...-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash -e
-export NIX_GHC=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc
-export NIX_GHCPKG=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc-pkg
-export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/share/doc/ghc/html
-export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2
-exec /nix/store/j50p...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc "-B$NIX_GHC_LIBDIR" "$@"
-```
-
-The variables `$NIX_GHC`, `$NIX_GHCPKG`, etc. point to the *new* store path
-`ghcWithPackages` constructed specifically for this environment. The last line
-of the wrapper script then executes the real `ghc`, but passes the path to the
-new `lib` directory using GHC's `-B` flag.
-
-The purpose of those environment variables is to work around an impurity in the
-popular [ghc-paths](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-paths) library. That
-library promises to give its users access to GHC's installation paths. Only,
-the library can't possible know that path when it's compiled, because the path
-GHC considers its own is determined only much later, when the user configures
-it through `ghcWithPackages`. So we [patched
-ghc-paths](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/patches/ghc-paths-nix.patch)
-to return the paths found in those environment variables at run-time rather
-than trying to guess them at compile-time.
-
-To make sure that mechanism works properly all the time, we recommend that you
-set those variables to meaningful values in your shell environment, too, i.e.
-by adding the following code to your `~/.bashrc`:
-```bash
-if type >/dev/null 2>&1 -p ghc; then
-  eval "$(egrep ^export "$(type -p ghc)")"
-fi
-```
-
-If you are certain that you'll use only one GHC environment which is located in
-your user profile, then you can use the following code, too, which has the
-advantage that it doesn't contain any paths from the Nix store, i.e. those
-settings always remain valid even if a `nix-env -u` operation updates the GHC
-environment in your profile:
-```bash
-if [ -e ~/.nix-profile/bin/ghc ]; then
-  export NIX_GHC="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc"
-  export NIX_GHCPKG="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc-pkg"
-  export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/share/doc/ghc/html"
-  export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR="$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ghc-$($NIX_GHC --numeric-version)"
-fi
-```
-
-### How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
-
-If you plan to use your environment for interactive programming, not just
-compiling random Haskell code, you might want to replace `ghcWithPackages` in
-all the listings above with `ghcWithHoogle`.
-
-This environment generator not only produces an environment with GHC and all
-the specified libraries, but also generates a `hoogle` and `haddock` indexes
-for all the packages, and provides a wrapper script around `hoogle` binary that
-uses all those things. A precise name for this thing would be
-"`ghcWithPackagesAndHoogleAndDocumentationIndexes`", which is, regrettably, too
-long and scary.
-
-For example, installing the following environment
-```nix
-{
-  packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-  {
-    myHaskellEnv = self.haskellPackages.ghcWithHoogle
-                     (haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
-                       # libraries
-                       arrows async cgi criterion
-                       # tools
-                       cabal-install haskintex
-                     ]);
-  };
-}
-```
-allows one to browse module documentation index [not too dissimilar to
-this](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/libraries/index.html)
-for all the specified packages and their dependencies by directing a browser of
-choice to `~/.nix-profiles/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` (or
-`/run/current-system/sw/share/doc/hoogle/index.html` in case you put it in
-`environment.systemPackages` in NixOS).
-
-After you've marveled enough at that try adding the following to your
-`~/.ghc/ghci.conf`
-```
-:def hoogle \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --count=15 \"" ++ s ++ "\""
-:def doc \s -> return $ ":! hoogle search -cl --info \"" ++ s ++ "\""
-```
-and test it by typing into `ghci`:
-```
-:hoogle a -> a
-:doc a -> a
-```
-
-Be sure to note the links to `haddock` files in the output. With any modern and
-properly configured terminal emulator you can just click those links to
-navigate there.
-
-Finally, you can run
-```shell
-hoogle server -p 8080
-```
-and navigate to http://localhost:8080/ for your own local
-[Hoogle](https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/). Note, however, that Firefox and
-possibly other browsers disallow navigation from `http:` to `file:` URIs for
-security reasons, which might be quite an inconvenience. See [this
-page](http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work) for
-workarounds.
-
-### How to build a Haskell project using Stack
-
-[Stack](http://haskellstack.org) is a popular build tool for Haskell projects.
-It has first-class support for Nix. Stack can optionally use Nix to
-automatically select the right version of GHC and other build tools to build,
-test and execute apps in an existing project downloaded from somewhere on the
-Internet. Pass the `--nix` flag to any `stack` command to do so, e.g.
-```shell
-git clone --recursive http://github.com/yesodweb/wai
-cd wai
-stack --nix build
-```
-
-If you want `stack` to use Nix by default, you can add a `nix` section to the
-`stack.yaml` file, as explained in the [Stack documentation][stack-nix-doc]. For
-example:
-```yaml
-nix:
-  enable: true
-  packages: [pkgconfig zeromq zlib]
-```
-
-The example configuration snippet above tells Stack to create an ad hoc
-environment for `nix-shell` as in the below section, in which the `pkgconfig`,
-`zeromq` and `zlib` packages from Nixpkgs are available. All `stack` commands
-will implicitly be executed inside this ad hoc environment.
-
-Some projects have more sophisticated needs. For examples, some ad hoc
-environments might need to expose Nixpkgs packages compiled in a certain way, or
-with extra environment variables. In these cases, you'll need a `shell` field
-instead of `packages`:
-```yaml
-nix:
-  enable: true
-  shell-file: shell.nix
-```
-
-For more on how to write a `shell.nix` file see the below section. You'll need
-to express a derivation. Note that Nixpkgs ships with a convenience wrapper
-function around `mkDerivation` called `haskell.lib.buildStackProject` to help you
-create this derivation in exactly the way Stack expects. All of the same inputs
-as `mkDerivation` can be provided. For example, to build a Stack project that
-including packages that link against a version of the R library compiled with
-special options turned on:
-```nix
-with (import <nixpkgs> { });
-
-let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
-in
-haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
-  name = "HaskellR";
-  buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
-}
-```
-
-You can select a particular GHC version to compile with by setting the
-`ghc` attribute as an argument to `buildStackProject`. Better yet, let
-Stack choose what GHC version it wants based on the snapshot specified
-in `stack.yaml` (only works with Stack >= 1.1.3):
-```nix
-{nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { }, ghc ? nixpkgs.ghc}:
-
-with nixpkgs;
-
-let R = pkgs.R.override { enableStrictBarrier = true; };
-in
-haskell.lib.buildStackProject {
-  name = "HaskellR";
-  buildInputs = [ R zeromq zlib ];
-  inherit ghc;
-}
-```
-
-[stack-nix-doc]: http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/nix_integration.html
-
-### How to create ad hoc environments for `nix-shell`
-
-The easiest way to create an ad hoc development environment is to run
-`nix-shell` with the appropriate GHC environment given on the command-line:
-```shell
-nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [mtl pandoc])"
-```
-
-For more sophisticated use-cases, however, it's more convenient to save the
-desired configuration in a file called `shell.nix` that looks like this:
-```nix
-{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
-let
-  inherit (nixpkgs) pkgs;
-  ghc = pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.ghcWithPackages (ps: with ps; [
-          monad-par mtl
-        ]);
-in
-pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
-  name = "my-haskell-env-0";
-  buildInputs = [ ghc ];
-  shellHook = "eval $(egrep ^export ${ghc}/bin/ghc)";
-}
-```
-
-Now run `nix-shell` --- or even `nix-shell --pure` --- to enter a shell
-environment that has the appropriate compiler in `$PATH`. If you use `--pure`,
-then add all other packages that your development environment needs into the
-`buildInputs` attribute. If you'd like to switch to a different compiler
-version, then pass an appropriate `compiler` argument to the expression, i.e.
-`nix-shell --argstr compiler ghc784`.
-
-If you need such an environment because you'd like to compile a Hackage package
-outside of Nix --- i.e. because you're hacking on the latest version from Git
----, then the package set provides suitable nix-shell environments for you
-already! Every Haskell package has an `env` attribute that provides a shell
-environment suitable for compiling that particular package. If you'd like to
-hack the `lens` library, for example, then you just have to check out the
-source code and enter the appropriate environment:
-```
-$ cabal get lens-4.11 && cd lens-4.11
-Downloading lens-4.11...
-Unpacking to lens-4.11/
-
-$ nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.lens.env
-[nix-shell:/tmp/lens-4.11]$
-```
-
-At point, you can run `cabal configure`, `cabal build`, and all the other
-development commands. Note that you need `cabal-install` installed in your
-`$PATH` already to use it here --- the `nix-shell` environment does not provide
-it.
-
-## How to create Nix builds for your own private Haskell packages
-
-If your own Haskell packages have build instructions for Cabal, then you can
-convert those automatically into build instructions for Nix using the
-`cabal2nix` utility, which you can install into your profile by running
-`nix-env -i cabal2nix`.
-
-### How to build a stand-alone project
-
-For example, let's assume that you're working on a private project called
-`foo`. To generate a Nix build expression for it, change into the project's
-top-level directory and run the command:
-```shell
-cabal2nix . > foo.nix
-```
-Then write the following snippet into a file called `default.nix`:
-```nix
-{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
-nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.callPackage ./foo.nix { }
-```
-
-Finally, store the following code in a file called `shell.nix`:
-```nix
-{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
-(import ./default.nix { inherit nixpkgs compiler; }).env
-```
-
-At this point, you can run `nix-build` to have Nix compile your project and
-install it into a Nix store path. The local directory will contain a symlink
-called `result` after `nix-build` returns that points into that location. Of
-course, passing the flag `--argstr compiler ghc763` allows switching the build
-to any version of GHC currently supported.
-
-Furthermore, you can call `nix-shell` to enter an interactive development
-environment in which you can use `cabal configure` and `cabal build` to develop
-your code. That environment will automatically contain a proper GHC derivation
-with all the required libraries registered as well as all the system-level
-libraries your package might need.
-
-If your package does not depend on any system-level libraries, then it's
-sufficient to run
-```shell
-nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
-```
-once to set up your build. `cabal-install` determines the absolute paths to all
-resources required for the build and writes them into a config file in the
-`dist/` directory. Once that's done, you can run `cabal build` and any other
-command for that project even outside of the `nix-shell` environment. This
-feature is particularly nice for those of us who like to edit their code with
-an IDE, like Emacs' `haskell-mode`, because it's not necessary to start Emacs
-inside of nix-shell just to make it find out the necessary settings for
-building the project; `cabal-install` has already done that for us.
-
-If you want to do some quick-and-dirty hacking and don't want to bother setting
-up a `default.nix` and `shell.nix` file manually, then you can use the
-`--shell` flag offered by `cabal2nix` to have it generate a stand-alone
-`nix-shell` environment for you. With that feature, running
-```shell
-cabal2nix --shell . > shell.nix
-nix-shell --command "cabal configure"
-```
-is usually enough to set up a build environment for any given Haskell package.
-You can even use that generated file to run `nix-build`, too:
-```shell
-nix-build shell.nix
-```
-
-### How to build projects that depend on each other
-
-If you have multiple private Haskell packages that depend on each other, then
-you'll have to register those packages in the Nixpkgs set to make them visible
-for the dependency resolution performed by `callPackage`. First of all, change
-into each of your projects top-level directories and generate a `default.nix`
-file with `cabal2nix`:
-```shell
-cd ~/src/foo && cabal2nix . > default.nix
-cd ~/src/bar && cabal2nix . > default.nix
-```
-Then edit your `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` file to register those builds in the
-default Haskell package set:
-```nix
-{
-  packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-  {
-    haskellPackages = super.haskellPackages.override {
-      overrides = self: super: {
-        foo = self.callPackage ../src/foo {};
-        bar = self.callPackage ../src/bar {};
-      };
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-Once that's accomplished, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qA haskellPackages` will
-show your packages like any other package from Hackage, and you can build them
-```shell
-nix-build "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.foo
-```
-or enter an interactive shell environment suitable for building them:
-```shell
-nix-shell "<nixpkgs>" -A haskellPackages.bar.env
-```
-
-## Miscellaneous Topics
-
-### How to build with profiling enabled
-
-Every Haskell package set takes a function called `overrides` that you can use
-to manipulate the package as much as you please. One useful application of this
-feature is to replace the default `mkDerivation` function with one that enables
-library profiling for all packages. To accomplish that, add configure the
-following snippet in your `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` file:
-```nix
-{
-  packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-  {
-    profiledHaskellPackages = self.haskellPackages.override {
-      overrides = self: super: {
-        mkDerivation = args: super.mkDerivation (args // {
-          enableLibraryProfiling = true;
-        });
-      };
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-Then, replace instances of `haskellPackages` in the `cabal2nix`-generated
-`default.nix` or `shell.nix` files with `profiledHaskellPackages`.
-
-### How to override package versions in a compiler-specific package set
-
-Nixpkgs provides the latest version of
-[`ghc-events`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-events), which is 0.4.4.0
-at the time of this writing. This is fine for users of GHC 7.10.x, but GHC
-7.8.4 cannot compile that binary. Now, one way to solve that problem is to
-register an older version of `ghc-events` in the 7.8.x-specific package set.
-The first step is to generate Nix build instructions with `cabal2nix`:
-```shell
-cabal2nix cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 > ~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
-```
-Then add the override in `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix`:
-```nix
-{
-  packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
-  {
-    haskell = super.haskell // {
-      packages = super.haskell.packages // {
-        ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
-          overrides = self: super: {
-            ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
-          };
-        };
-      };
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-
-This code is a little crazy, no doubt, but it's necessary because the intuitive
-version
-```nix
-{ # ...
-
-  haskell.packages.ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
-    overrides = self: super: {
-      ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
-    };
-  };
-}
-```
-doesn't do what we want it to: that code replaces the `haskell` package set in
-Nixpkgs with one that contains only one entry,`packages`, which contains only
-one entry `ghc784`. This override loses the `haskell.compiler` set, and it
-loses the `haskell.packages.ghcXYZ` sets for all compilers but GHC 7.8.4. To
-avoid that problem, we have to perform the convoluted little dance from above,
-iterating over each step in hierarchy.
-
-Once it's accomplished, however, we can install a variant of `ghc-events`
-that's compiled with GHC 7.8.4:
-```shell
-nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA haskell.packages.ghc784.ghc-events
-```
-Unfortunately, it turns out that this build fails again while executing the
-test suite! Apparently, the release archive on Hackage is missing some data
-files that the test suite requires, so we cannot run it. We accomplish that by
-re-generating the Nix expression with the `--no-check` flag:
-```shell
-cabal2nix --no-check cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 > ~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
-```
-Now the builds succeeds.
-
-Of course, in the concrete example of `ghc-events` this whole exercise is not
-an ideal solution, because `ghc-events` can analyze the output emitted by any
-version of GHC later than 6.12 regardless of the compiler version that was used
-to build the `ghc-events` executable, so strictly speaking there's no reason to
-prefer one built with GHC 7.8.x in the first place. However, for users who
-cannot use GHC 7.10.x at all for some reason, the approach of downgrading to an
-older version might be useful.
-
-### How to recover from GHC's infamous non-deterministic library ID bug
-
-GHC and distributed build farms don't get along well:
-
-  - https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4012
-
-When you see an error like this one
-```
-package foo-0.7.1.0 is broken due to missing package
-text-1.2.0.4-98506efb1b9ada233bb5c2b2db516d91
-```
-then you have to download and re-install `foo` and all its dependents from
-scratch:
-```shell
-nix-store -q --referrers /nix/store/*-haskell-text-1.2.0.4 \
-  | xargs -L 1 nix-store --repair-path
-```
-
-If you're using additional Hydra servers other than `hydra.nixos.org`, then it
-might be necessary to purge the local caches that store data from those
-machines to disable these binary channels for the duration of the previous
-command, i.e. by running:
-```shell
-rm /nix/var/nix/binary-cache-v3.sqlite
-rm /nix/var/nix/manifests/*
-rm /nix/var/nix/channel-cache/*
-```
-
-### Builds on Darwin fail with `math.h` not found
-
-Users of GHC on Darwin have occasionally reported that builds fail, because the
-compiler complains about a missing include file:
-```
-fatal error: 'math.h' file not found
-```
-The issue has been discussed at length in [ticket
-6390](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/6390), and so far no good
-solution has been proposed. As a work-around, users who run into this problem
-can configure the environment variables
-```shell
-export NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="-idirafter /usr/include"
-export NIX_CFLAGS_LINK="-L/usr/lib"
-```
-in their `~/.bashrc` file to avoid the compiler error.
-
-### Builds using Stack complain about missing system libraries
-
-```
---  While building package zlib-0.5.4.2 using:
-  runhaskell -package=Cabal-1.22.4.0 -clear-package-db [... lots of flags ...]
-Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1
-Logs have been written to: /home/foo/src/stack-ide/.stack-work/logs/zlib-0.5.4.2.log
-
-Configuring zlib-0.5.4.2...
-Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
-* Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h
-This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
-provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
-already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
---extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
-If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
-compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
-with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
-```
-
-When you run the build inside of the nix-shell environment, the system
-is configured to find `libz.so` without any special flags -- the compiler
-and linker "just know" how to find it. Consequently, Cabal won't record
-any search paths for `libz.so` in the package description, which means
-that the package works fine inside of nix-shell, but once you leave the
-shell the shared object can no longer be found. That issue is by no
-means specific to Stack: you'll have that problem with any other
-Haskell package that's built inside of nix-shell but run outside of that
-environment.
-
-You can remedy this issue in several ways. The easiest is to add a `nix` section
-to the `stack.yaml` like the following:
-```yaml
-nix:
-  enable: true
-  packages: [ zlib ]
-```
-
-Stack's Nix support knows to add `${zlib.out}/lib` and `${zlib.dev}/include`
-as an `--extra-lib-dirs` and `extra-include-dirs`, respectively.
-Alternatively, you can achieve the same effect by hand. First of all, run
-```
-$ nix-build --no-out-link "<nixpkgs>" -A zlib
-/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8
-```
-to find out the store path of the system's zlib library. Now, you can
-
-  1. add that path (plus a "/lib" suffix) to your `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
-    environment variable to make sure your system linker finds `libz.so`
-    automatically. It's no pretty solution, but it will work.
-
-  2. As a variant of (1), you can also install any number of system
-    libraries into your user's profile (or some other profile) and point
-    `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to that profile instead, so that you don't have to
-    list dozens of those store paths all over the place.
-
-  3. The solution I prefer is to call stack with an appropriate
-    --extra-lib-dirs flag like so:
-    ```shell
-    stack --extra-lib-dirs=/nix/store/alsvwzkiw4b7ip38l4nlfjijdvg3fvzn-zlib-1.2.8/lib build
-    ```
-
-    Typically, you'll need `--extra-include-dirs` as well. It's possible
-    to add those flag to the project's `stack.yaml` or your user's
-    global `~/.stack/global/stack.yaml` file so that you don't have to
-    specify them manually every time. But again, you're likely better off
-    using Stack's Nix support instead.
-
-    The same thing applies to `cabal configure`, of course, if you're
-    building with `cabal-install` instead of Stack.
-
-### Creating statically linked binaries
-
-There are two levels of static linking. The first option is to configure the
-build with the Cabal flag `--disable-executable-dynamic`. In Nix expressions,
-this can be achieved by setting the attribute:
-```
-enableSharedExecutables = false;
-```
-That gives you a binary with statically linked Haskell libraries and
-dynamically linked system libraries.
-
-To link both Haskell libraries and system libraries statically, the additional
-flags `--ghc-option=-optl=-static --ghc-option=-optl=-pthread` need to be used.
-In Nix, this is accomplished with:
-```
-configureFlags = [ "--ghc-option=-optl=-static" "--ghc-option=-optl=-pthread" ];
-```
-
-It's important to realize, however, that most system libraries in Nix are
-built as shared libraries only, i.e. there is just no static library
-available that Cabal could link!
-
-### Building GHC with integer-simple
-
-By default GHC implements the Integer type using the
-[GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic (GMP) library](https://gmplib.org/).
-The implementation can be found in the
-[integer-gmp](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/integer-gmp) package.
-
-A potential problem with this is that GMP is licensed under the
-[GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)](http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html),
-a kind of "copyleft" license. According to the terms of the LGPL, paragraph 5,
-you may distribute a program that is designed to be compiled and dynamically
-linked with the library under the terms of your choice (i.e., commercially) but
-if your program incorporates portions of the library, if it is linked
-statically, then your program is a "derivative"--a "work based on the
-library"--and according to paragraph 2, section c, you "must cause the whole of
-the work to be licensed" under the terms of the LGPL (including for free).
-
-The LGPL licensing for GMP is a problem for the overall licensing of binary
-programs compiled with GHC because most distributions (and builds) of GHC use
-static libraries. (Dynamic libraries are currently distributed only for macOS.)
-The LGPL licensing situation may be worse: even though
-[The Glasgow Haskell Compiler License](https://www.haskell.org/ghc/license)
-is essentially a "free software" license (BSD3), according to
-paragraph 2 of the LGPL, GHC must be distributed under the terms of the LGPL!
-
-To work around these problems GHC can be build with a slower but LGPL-free
-alternative implemention for Integer called
-[integer-simple](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/integer-simple).
-
-To get a GHC compiler build with `integer-simple` instead of `integer-gmp` use
-the attribute: `haskell.compiler.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"`.
-For example:
-```
-$ nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc802'
-...
-$ result/bin/ghc-pkg list | grep integer
-    integer-simple-0.1.1.1
-```
-The following command displays the complete list of GHC compilers build with `integer-simple`:
-```
-$ nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A haskell.compiler.integer-simple
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc7102  ghc-7.10.2
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc7103  ghc-7.10.3
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc722   ghc-7.2.2
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc742   ghc-7.4.2
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc783   ghc-7.8.3
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc784   ghc-7.8.4
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc801   ghc-8.0.1
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghc802   ghc-8.0.2
-haskell.compiler.integer-simple.ghcHEAD  ghc-8.1.20170106
-```
-
-To get a package set supporting `integer-simple` use the attribute:
-`haskell.packages.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"`. For example
-use the following to get the `scientific` package build with `integer-simple`:
-```shell
-nix-build -A haskell.packages.integer-simple.ghc802.scientific
-```
-
-### Quality assurance
-
-The `haskell.lib` library includes a number of functions for checking for
-various imperfections in Haskell packages. It's useful to apply these functions
-to your own Haskell packages and integrate that in a Continuous Integration
-server like [hydra](https://nixos.org/hydra/) to assure your packages maintain a
-minimum level of quality. This section discusses some of these functions.
-
-#### buildStrictly
-
-Applying `haskell.lib.buildStrictly` to a Haskell package enables the `-Wall`
-and `-Werror` GHC options to turn all warnings into build failures. Additionally
-the source of your package is gotten from first invoking `cabal sdist` to ensure
-all needed files are listed in the Cabal file.
-
-#### checkUnusedPackages
-
-Applying `haskell.lib.checkUnusedPackages` to a Haskell package invokes
-the [packunused](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/packunused) tool on the
-package. `packunused` complains when it finds packages listed as build-depends
-in the Cabal file which are redundant. For example:
-
-```
-$ nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; in pkgs.haskell.lib.checkUnusedPackages {} pkgs.haskellPackages.scientific'
-these derivations will be built:
-  /nix/store/3lc51cxj2j57y3zfpq5i69qbzjpvyci1-scientific-0.3.5.1.drv
-...
-detected package components
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- - library
- - testsuite(s): test-scientific
- - benchmark(s): bench-scientific*
-
-(component names suffixed with '*' are not configured to be built)
-
-library
-~~~~~~~
-
-The following package dependencies seem redundant:
-
- - ghc-prim-0.5.0.0
-
-testsuite(test-scientific)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-no redundant packages dependencies found
-
-builder for ‘/nix/store/3lc51cxj2j57y3zfpq5i69qbzjpvyci1-scientific-0.3.5.1.drv’ failed with exit code 1
-error: build of ‘/nix/store/3lc51cxj2j57y3zfpq5i69qbzjpvyci1-scientific-0.3.5.1.drv’ failed
-```
-
-As you can see, `packunused` finds out that although the testsuite component has
-no redundant dependencies the library component of `scientific-0.3.5.1` depends
-on `ghc-prim` which is unused in the library.

-a stdenv setup hook that adds any JARs in the
-<filename>share/java</filename> directories of the build inputs to the
-<envar>CLASSPATH</envar> environment variable.  For instance, if the
-package <literal>libfoo</literal> installs a JAR named
-<filename>foo.jar</filename> in its <filename>share/java</filename>
-directory, and another package declares the attribute
-
-<programlisting>
-buildInputs = [ jdk libfoo ];
-</programlisting>

-<filename>/nix/store/...-libfoo/share/java/foo.jar</filename>.</para>
-
-<para>Private JARs
-should be installed in a location like
-<filename>$out/share/<replaceable>package-name</replaceable></filename>.</para>
-
-<para>If your Java package provides a program, you need to generate a

-<literal>makeWrapper</literal> for this:
-
-<programlisting>
-buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
-
-installPhase =

-</programlisting>
-
-Note the use of <literal>jre</literal>, which is the part of the
-OpenJDK package that contains the Java Runtime Environment.  By using
-<literal>${jre}/bin/java</literal> instead of
-<literal>${jdk}/bin/java</literal>, you prevent your package from
-depending on the JDK at runtime.</para>
-
-<para>It is possible to use a different Java compiler than
-<command>javac</command> from the OpenJDK.  For instance, to use the
-Eclipse Java Compiler:
-
-<programlisting>
-buildInputs = [ jre ant ecj ];
-</programlisting>
-
-(Note that here you don’t need the full JDK as an input, but just the
-JRE.)  The ECJ has a stdenv setup hook that sets some environment
-variables to cause Ant to use ECJ, but this doesn’t work with all Ant
-files.  Similarly, you can use the GNU Java Compiler:
-
-<programlisting>
-buildInputs = [ gcj ant ];
-</programlisting>
-
-Here, Ant will automatically use <command>gij</command> (the GNU Java

-rather than <filename>pkgs/all-packages.nix</filename>.  Most Perl
-packages are so straight-forward to build that they are defined here
-directly, rather than having a separate function for each package
-called from <filename>perl-packages.nix</filename>.  However, more
-complicated packages should be put in a separate file, typically in
-<filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules</filename>.  Here is an
-example of the former:
-
-<programlisting>
-ClassC3 = buildPerlPackage rec {

-
-Note the use of <literal>mirror://cpan/</literal>, and the

-name attribute is consistent with the source that we’re actually
-downloading.  Perl packages are made available in

-<varname>perlPackages</varname>.  For instance, if you have a package

-</programlisting>

-
-<screen>
-$ nix-build -A perlPackages.ClassC3

-
-<varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> adds <literal>perl-</literal> to

-(Of course you can also install using the attribute name:

-

-If a library does not support a particular version of Qt 5, it is best to mark it as broken by setting its <literal>meta.broken</literal> attribute.

-<para>
-Qt 5 maintains strict backward compatibility, so it is generally best to build an application package against the latest version using the <varname>libsForQt5</varname> library set.
-In case a package does not build with the latest Qt version, it is possible to pick a set pinned to a particular version, e.g. <varname>libsForQt55</varname> for Qt 5.5, if that is the latest version the package supports.
-If a package must be pinned to an older Qt version, be sure to file a bug upstream;
-because Qt is strictly backwards-compatible, any incompatibility is by definition a bug in the application.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-When testing applications in Nixpkgs, it is a common practice to build the package with <literal>nix-build</literal> and run it using the created symbolic link.
-This will not work with Qt applications, however, because they have many hard runtime requirements that can only be guaranteed if the package is actually installed.

-# User's Guide to the Rust Infrastructure
-
-To install the rust compiler and cargo put
-
-```
-rustStable.rustc
-rustStable.cargo
-```
-
-into the `environment.systemPackages` or bring them into scope with
-`nix-shell -p rustStable.rustc -p rustStable.cargo`.
-
-There are also `rustBeta` and `rustNightly` package sets available.
-These are not updated very regularly. For daily builds use either rustup from
-nixpkgs or use the [Rust nightlies overlay](#using-the-rust-nightlies-overlay).
-
-## Packaging Rust applications
-
-Rust applications are packaged by using the `buildRustPackage` helper from `rustPlatform`:
-
-```
-with rustPlatform;
-
-buildRustPackage rec {
-  name = "ripgrep-${version}";
-  version = "0.4.0";
-
-  src = fetchFromGitHub {
-    owner = "BurntSushi";
-    repo = "ripgrep";
-    rev = "${version}";
-    sha256 = "0y5d1n6hkw85jb3rblcxqas2fp82h3nghssa4xqrhqnz25l799pj";
-  };

-
-  meta = with stdenv.lib; {
-    description = "A utility that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw speed of grep";
-    homepage = https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep;
-    license = with licenses; [ unlicense ];
-    maintainers = [ maintainers.tailhook ];
-    platforms = platforms.all;
-  };
-}
-```
-
-`buildRustPackage` requires a `depsSha256` attribute which is computed over
-all crate sources of this package. Currently it is obtained by inserting a
-fake checksum into the expression and building the package once. The correct
-checksum can be then take from the failed build.
-
-To install crates with nix there is also an experimental project called
-[nixcrates](https://github.com/fractalide/nixcrates).
-
-## Using the Rust nightlies overlay
-
-Mozilla provides an overlay for nixpkgs to bring a nightly version of Rust into scope.
-This overlay can _also_ be used to install recent unstable or stable versions
-of Rust, if desired.
-
-To use this overlay, clone
-[nixpkgs-mozilla](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla),
-and create a symbolic link to the file
-[rust-overlay.nix](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/master/rust-overlay.nix)
-in the `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays` directory.
-
-    $ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla.git
-    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
-    $ ln -s $(pwd)/nixpkgs-mozilla/rust-overlay.nix ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/rust-overlay.nix
-
-The latest version can be installed with the following command:
-
-    $ nix-env -Ai nixos.rustChannels.stable.rust
-
-Or using the attribute with nix-shell:
-
-    $ nix-shell -p nixos.rustChannels.stable.rust
-
-To install the beta or nightly channel, "stable" should be substituted by
-"nightly" or "beta", or
-use the function provided by this overlay to pull a version based on a
-build date.
-
-The overlay automatically updates itself as it uses the same source as
-[rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/).

-title: User's Guide for Vim in Nixpkgs
-author: Marc Weber
-date: 2016-06-25

-# User's Guide to Vim Plugins/Addons/Bundles/Scripts in Nixpkgs
-
-You'll get a vim(-your-suffix) in PATH also loading the plugins you want.
-Loading can be deferred; see examples.
-
-Vim packages, VAM (=vim-addon-manager) and Pathogen are supported to load
-packages.
-
-## Custom configuration
-
-Adding custom .vimrc lines can be done using the following code:
-
-```
-vim_configurable.customize {
-  name = "vim-with-plugins";
-
-  vimrcConfig.customRC = ''
-    set hidden
-  '';
-}
-```
-
-## Vim packages
-
-To store you plugins in Vim packages the following example can be used:
-
-```
-vim_configurable.customize {
-  vimrcConfig.packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
-    # loaded on launch
-    start = [ youcompleteme fugitive ];
-    # manually loadable by calling `:packadd $plugin-name`
-    opt = [ phpCompletion elm-vim ];
-    # To automatically load a plugin when opening a filetype, add vimrc lines like:
-    # autocmd FileType php :packadd phpCompletion
-  }
-};
-```
-
-## VAM
-
-### dependencies by Vim plugins
-
-VAM introduced .json files supporting dependencies without versioning
-assuming that "using latest version" is ok most of the time.
-
-### Example
-
-First create a vim-scripts file having one plugin name per line. Example:
-
-    "tlib"
-    {'name': 'vim-addon-sql'}
-    {'filetype_regex': '\%(vim)$', 'names': ['reload', 'vim-dev-plugin']}
-
-Such vim-scripts file can be read by VAM as well like this:
-
-    call vam#Scripts(expand('~/.vim-scripts'), {})
-
-Create a default.nix file:
-
-    { nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
-    nixpkgs.vim_configurable.customize { name = "vim"; vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [ "vim-addon-vim2nix" ]; }
-
-Create a generate.vim file:
-
-    ActivateAddons vim-addon-vim2nix
-    let vim_scripts = "vim-scripts"
-    call nix#ExportPluginsForNix({
-    \  'path_to_nixpkgs': eval('{"'.substitute(substitute(substitute($NIX_PATH, ':', ',', 'g'), '=',':', 'g'), '\([:,]\)', '"\1"',"g").'"}')["nixpkgs"],
-    \  'cache_file': '/tmp/vim2nix-cache',
-    \  'try_catch': 0,
-    \  'plugin_dictionaries': ["vim-addon-manager"]+map(readfile(vim_scripts), 'eval(v:val)')
-    \ })
-
-Then run
-
-    nix-shell -p vimUtils.vim_with_vim2nix --command "vim -c 'source generate.vim'"
-
-You should get a Vim buffer with the nix derivations (output1) and vam.pluginDictionaries (output2).
-You can add your vim to your system's configuration file like this and start it by "vim-my":
-
-    my-vim =
-     let plugins = let inherit (vimUtils) buildVimPluginFrom2Nix; in {
-          copy paste output1 here
-     }; in vim_configurable.customize {
-       name = "vim-my";
-
-       vimrcConfig.vam.knownPlugins = plugins; # optional
-       vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [
-          copy paste output2 here
-       ];
-
-       # Pathogen would be
-       # vimrcConfig.pathogen.knownPlugins = plugins; # plugins
-       # vimrcConfig.pathogen.pluginNames = ["tlib"];
-     };
-
-
-Sample output1:
-
-    "reload" = buildVimPluginFrom2Nix { # created by nix#NixDerivation
-      name = "reload";
-      src = fetchgit {
-        url = "git://github.com/xolox/vim-reload";
-        rev = "0a601a668727f5b675cb1ddc19f6861f3f7ab9e1";
-        sha256 = "0vb832l9yxj919f5hfg6qj6bn9ni57gnjd3bj7zpq7d4iv2s4wdh";
-      };
-      dependencies = ["nim-misc"];
-
-    };
-    [...]
-
-Sample output2:
-
-    [
-      ''vim-addon-manager''
-      ''tlib''
-      { "name" = ''vim-addon-sql''; }
-      { "filetype_regex" = ''\%(vim)$$''; "names" = [ ''reload'' ''vim-dev-plugin'' ]; }
-    ]
-
-
-## Important repositories
-
-- [vim-pi](https://bitbucket.org/vimcommunity/vim-pi) is a plugin repository
-  from VAM plugin manager meant to be used by others as well used by
-
-- [vim2nix](http://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-vim2nix) which generates the
-  .nix code

-<section><title>Introduction</title>
-  <para>The Nix language allows a derivation to produce multiple outputs, which is similar to what is utilized by other Linux distribution packaging systems.  The outputs reside in separate nix store paths, so they can be mostly handled independently of each other, including passing to build inputs, garbage collection or binary substitution.  The exception is that building from source always produces all the outputs.</para>
-  <para>The main motivation is to save disk space by reducing runtime closure sizes; consequently also sizes of substituted binaries get reduced.  Splitting can be used to have more granular runtime dependencies, for example the typical reduction is to split away development-only files, as those are typically not needed during runtime.  As a result, closure sizes of many packages can get reduced to a half or even much less.</para>
-  <note><para>The reduction effects could be instead achieved by building the parts in completely separate derivations.  That would often additionally reduce build-time closures, but it tends to be much harder to write such derivations, as build systems typically assume all parts are being built at once.  This compromise approach of single source package producing multiple binary packages is also utilized often by rpm and deb.</para></note>

-<section><title>Writing a split derivation</title>
-  <para>Here you find how to write a derivation that produces multiple outputs.</para>
-  <para>In nixpkgs there is a framework supporting multiple-output derivations. It tries to cover most cases by default behavior.  You can find the source separated in &lt;<filename>nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/multiple-outputs.sh</filename>&gt;; it's relatively well-readable.  The whole machinery is triggered by defining the <varname>outputs</varname> attribute to contain the list of desired output names (strings).</para>
-  <programlisting>outputs = [ "bin" "dev" "out" "doc" ];</programlisting>
-  <para>Often such a single line is enough.  For each output an equally named environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix store for that output.  By convention, the first output should contain the executable programs provided by the package as that output is used by Nix in string conversions, allowing references to binaries like <literal>${pkgs.perl}/bin/perl</literal> to always work. Typically you also want to have the main <varname>out</varname> output, as it catches any files that didn't get elsewhere.</para>

-  <note><para>There is a special handling of the <varname>debug</varname> output, described at <xref linkend="stdenv-separateDebugInfo" />.</para></note>
-
-  <section xml:id="multiple-output-file-type-groups">
-    <title>File type groups</title>
-    <para>The support code currently recognizes some particular kinds of outputs and either instructs the build system of the package to put files into their desired outputs or it moves the files during the fixup phase.  Each group of file types has an <varname>outputFoo</varname> variable specifying the output name where they should go.  If that variable isn't defined by the derivation writer, it is guessed &ndash; a default output name is defined, falling back to other possibilities if the output isn't defined.</para>

+Semi-automatic source information updating using "update-upstream-data.sh" script and "src-{,info-}for-*.nix"
+
+1. Recognizing when a pre-existing package uses this mechanism.
+
+Packages using this automatical update mechanism have src-info-for-default.nix and src-for-default.nix next to default.nix. src-info-for-default.nix describes getting the freshest source from upstream web site; src-for-default.nix is a generated file with the current data about used source. Both files define a simple attrSet. 
+
+src-info-for-default.nix (for a file grabbed via http) contains at least downloadPage attribute - it is the page we need to look at to find out the latest version. It also contains baseName that is used for automatical generation of package name containing version. It can contain extra data for trickier cases.
+
+src-for-default.nix will contain advertisedUrl (raw URL chosen on the site; its change prompts regeneration of source data), url for fetchurl, hash, version retrieved from the download URL and suggested package name.
+
+2. Updating a package
+
+nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/upstream-updater directory contains some scripts. The worker script is called update-upstream-data.sh. This script requires main expression name (e.g. default.nix). It can optionally accpet a second parameter, URL which will be used instead of getting one by parsing the downloadPage (version extraction, mirror URL creation etc. will still be run). After running the script, check src-for-default.nix (or replace default.nix with expression name, if there are seceral expressions in the directory) for new version information.

-
-<para>The first argument (<varname>self</varname>) corresponds to the final package

-from <varname>self</varname>, as well as the overridden dependencies used in the
-<varname>boost</varname> override.</para>
-
-<para>The second argument (<varname>super</varname>)
-corresponds to the result of the evaluation of the previous stages of
-Nixpkgs. It does not contain any of the packages added by the current
-overlay, nor any of the following overlays. This set should be used either
-to refer to packages you wish to override, or to access functions defined
-in Nixpkgs. For example, the original recipe of <varname>boost</varname>
-in the above example, comes from <varname>super</varname>, as well as the
-<varname>callPackage</varname> function.</para>

-<para>The value returned by this function should be a set similar to
-<filename>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</filename>, containing
-overridden and/or new packages.</para>
-
-<para>Overlays are similar to other methods for customizing Nixpkgs, in particular
-the <literal>packageOverrides</literal> attribute described in <xref linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides"/>.
-Indeed, <literal>packageOverrides</literal> acts as an overlay with only the

-    Nixpkgs provides a number of packages that will install Eclipse in

-    by either manually specifying an Eclipse update site or by

-    The pull request template helps determine what steps have been made for a
-    contribution so far, and will help guide maintainers on the status of a
-    change. The motivation section of the PR should include any extra details
-    the title does not address and link any existing issues related to the pull

-    <title>Tested using sandboxing</title>
-    <para>
-      When sandbox builds are enabled, Nix will setup an isolated environment
-      for each build process. It is used to remove further hidden dependencies
-      set by the build environment to improve reproducibility. This includes
-      access to the network during the build outside of
-      <function>fetch*</function> functions and files outside the Nix store.
-      Depending on the operating system access to other resources are blocked
-      as well (ex. inter process communication is isolated on Linux); see <link
-      xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#description-45">build-use-sandbox</link>
-      in Nix manual for details.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Sandboxing is not enabled by default in Nix due to a small performance
-      hit on each build.  In pull requests for <link
-        xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/">nixpkgs</link> people
-      are asked to test builds with sandboxing enabled (see <literal>Tested
-        using sandboxing</literal> in the pull request template) because
-      in<link
-        xlink:href="https://nixos.org/hydra/">https://nixos.org/hydra/</link>
-      sandboxing is also used.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Depending if you use NixOS or other platforms you can use one of the

-    <title>Built on platform(s)</title>
-    <para>
-      Many Nix packages are designed to run on multiple
-      platforms. As such, it's important to let the maintainer know which
-      platforms your changes have been tested on. It's not always practical to
-      test a change on all platforms, and is not required for a pull request to
-      be merged. Only check the systems you tested the build on in this
-      section.
-    </para>
-  </section>
-  <section>
-    <title>Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)</title>
-    <para>
-      Packages with automated tests are much more likely to be merged in a
-      timely fashion because it doesn't require as much manual testing by the
-      maintainer to verify the functionality of the package. If there are
-      existing tests for the package, they should be run to verify your changes
-      do not break the tests. Tests only apply to packages with NixOS modules
-      defined and can only be run on Linux. For more details on writing and
-      running tests, see the <link
-        xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-nixos-tests">section
-        in the NixOS manual</link>.
-    </para>

-  <section>
-    <title>Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using <command>nox-review</command></title>
-    <para>
-      If you are updating a package's version, you can use nox to make sure all
-      packages that depend on the updated package still compile correctly. This
-      can be done using the nox utility. The <command>nox-review</command>
-      utility can look for and build all dependencies either based on
-      uncommited changes with the <literal>wip</literal> option or specifying a
-      github pull request number.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      review uncommitted changes:
-      <screen>nix-shell -p nox --run nox-review wip</screen>

-    </para>
-  </section>
-  <section>
-    <title>Tested execution of all binary files (usually in <filename>./result/bin/</filename>)</title>
-    <para>
-      It's important to test any executables generated by a build when you
-      change or create a package in nixpkgs. This can be done by looking in
-      <filename>./result/bin</filename> and running any files in there, or at a
-      minimum, the main executable for the package. For example, if you make a change
-      to <package>texlive</package>, you probably would only check the binaries
-      associated with the change you made rather than testing all of them.

-      The last checkbox is fits <link
-        xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md">CONTRIBUTING.md</link>.
-      The contributing document has detailed information on standards the Nix
-      community has for commit messages, reviews, licensing of contributions
-      you make to the project, etc... Everyone should read and understand the
-      standards the community has for contributing before submitting a pull
-      request.

-  # Some of the most more important usage examples (which could be rewritten if it was important):
-  # * php
-  # * postgis
-  # * vim_configurable

-  #    src = fetchurl {
-  #    }
-  #    buildInputs = [A];
