Re: [Nix-dev] Please test NixOS/nixpkgs.git on darwin
Sure, tonight works. This sounds great! Besides the patches to cc-wrapper, are there any changes you expect to hit linux stdenv?

Fully agree on your proposed workflow, but I've been pretty undisciplined so far. For the current big merge, my plan was to break my history into major chunks along the following lines (not necessarily in this order): - LLVM 3.5 - Assorted minor Mac-flavored patches to cc-wrapper (hook to detect frameworks in buildInputs, etc.) - A large collection of source builds for Apple-specific stuff from opensource.apple.com http://opensource.apple.com/.

Re: [Nix-dev] 'bumblebee' nvidia gpu switching
Update: The configuration below was working with nixpkgs commit
f8bd5bb401e7c47b66b4cf44b150707824a5f41d , from Tue Jan 6.
Is there a way to automatically figure out which change broke my
configuration?
Many thanks,

Hi,
I'm having problems enabling the 'bumblebee' nvidia gpu switching service.
I've appended a test case which does not work for me in the current
unstable channel.
Is somebody else seeing the same problem? Any advice or hint how to
resolve the issue would be very welcome :)
Cheers,
Thomas
configuration.nix:

Re: [Nix-dev] broken URLs of iwlwifi firmware tarballs

Hello,
the URLs to iwlwifi firmware tarballs are broken.
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi
Is that a temporary problem? I could find no mirrors for some of the
files. (Besides, I found that nixos.org isn't the only user of those URLs.)
This was a problem with the markup conversion for the new wiki engine -
the links were converted to [[filename]] (to link to pages) instead of
{{filename}} (to link to attachments)
I've fixed that now.

[Nix-dev] Nix seemingly broke ~/.nix-profile symlink
Hi, Just for information (as I cannot reproduce it). I don't really know how this happened. I think the last thing I did before noticing anything wrong was to run nix-collect garbage and then nix-build. Then my profile symlink looked like this: $ ls -l ~/.nix-profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 bfo users 19 Jan 27 22:21 /home/bfo/.nix-profile - .nix-profile-2-link $ ls -l ~/.nix-profile/ ls: cannot access /home/bfo/.nix-profile/: No such file or directory Luckily, it was easy to fix: $ ln -sf /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/bfo/profile /home/bfo/.nix-profile Everything is OK now. I wonder what happened. - Bjørn ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
