The recent sqlite update broke -- among other things -- the Hydra regression
test suite. Until these issues have been resolved, we stick to the older
reliable version.
- Add version 3.7.14.1 again, so that we can work around issues caused
by the recent 3.7.16.1 update.
- Drop obsolete version 3.6.x.
- Consistently use the sqlite version number to name the file of the
expression.
This reverts commit a2ddd3643e.
@peti pointed out that python2.6 packages are now prefered over
python2.7. In a local test it was the other way round. seems to be
arbitrary or I messed up the test.
for `nix-env -i` the later defined python27Packages seems to win.
Another solution might be to have python26 oder python27 either in the
name or the version. Let's have a look at haskelPackages for that.
The freaky implementation was done that way in order to avoid unnecessary
re-builds of all Haskell packages by changing the wrapper script used
internally in those builds.
See <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/466> for further details.
It works enough to display bootsplash animations in an xorg session and a VT.
I haven't figured out how to run it successfully from the initrd yet and I'm also not happy with the postInstall mess, but I'd rather merge it now than let it get lost. It seems like it should be possible for a user to activate it by using boot.initrd.extraUtilsCommands and boot.initrd.postMountCommands
The previous implementation used the following tying-the-knot trickery to
override 'doCheck' to false for the given build:
cabalNoTest = {
mkDerivation = x: rec {
final = self.cabal.mkDerivation (self: (x final) // { doCheck = false; });
}.final;
};
That seemed to work, but for some reason it caused trouble with some builds --
not all -- that use jailbreakCabal. The problem was the 'stdenv' attribute
couldn't be evaluated properly anymore:

infinite recursion encountered
I tried to figure out why this happens, but eventually gave up. The new
implementation passes an argument called 'enableCheckPhase' to the Cabal
builder, which determines whether the user-specified doCheck value has any
effect or not. Now, a normal override can be used to disable unit testing.
