(I didn't know this information was stored in two places.) (cherry picked from commit 56a047c7a135ed981971c2550125429499813c8b) Bjørn Forsman2017-09-131-4/+4

* Revert "Merge pull request #28557 from obsidiansystems/binutils-wrapper"•••This reverts commit 0a944b345e89ca0096974d168f49e1c6830c3fc2, reversing changes made to 61733ed6ccde3427016720f2e0cd191d3d95152c. I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation, especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC -> NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused months of pain, so let's not do that again. (cherry picked from commit ec8d41f08c95cff79ccb28132146226f4f75c6fe) Eelco Dolstra2017-09-071-37/+13

* | Python: add buildPythonPackage.overridePythonPackage method.•••This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`. In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in the package set. ``` with import <nixpkgs> {}; (let python = let packageOverrides = self: super: { pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec { version = "0.19.1"; name = "pandas-${version}"; src = super.fetchPypi { pname = "pandas"; inherit version; sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295"; }; }); }; in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;}; in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env ``` Frederik Rietdijk2017-08-091-5/+34

'wrapper' has been renamed to 'wrappedRuby', so use this instead. 2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error. 3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.nonsequitur2017-08-071-7/+3

| * fzf: add script for finding 'share' folder•••So that helper scripts can be easily sourced in interactive shell configuration. `autojump` package was already present and had the same requirements for findind a `share` folders, so I took an inspiration there. I beleive this is a better alternative to: - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25080 - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27058 Replacing `$out/share/shell` with `$bin/share/fzf` was necessary to prevent dependency loop in produced derivations.
