The function ‘mkDerivation’ now checks whether the current platform
type is included in a package's meta.platform field. If not, it
throws an exception:
$ nix-build -A linux --argstr system x86_64-darwin
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘linux-3.10.15’ is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’
These packages also no longer show up in ‘nix-env -qa’ output. This
means, for instance, that the number of packages shown on
x86_64-freebsd has dropped from 9268 to 4764.
Since meta.platforms was also used to prevent Hydra from building some
packages, there now is a new attribute meta.hydraPlatforms listing the
platforms on which Hydra should build the package (which defaults to
meta.platforms).
I actually had this breeding in my nixpkgs overrides for a year and only
recently took the time to fix it and thus revive my video feeds :-)
The package uses a patch which is removing the dependency on gconf and
switches to storage within a shelve in ~/.miro/config instead.

Compiles fine on linux i686 and amd64. Adding myself as maintainer, even
though I'm not using the package by myself, but a friend is using it for
DJing from a NixOS live system I'm maintaining.

This uses a patch from Gentoo to disable Java support for now, as it is
not needed for supporting Mixxx (which is the package I'm preparing).
Hopefully, the patch will be applied upstream so we can safely drop it
here.

* There now is full support for building Haskell packages as shared libraries
for GHC versions 7.4.2 or later. The Cabal builder recognizes the following
attributes:
- enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries in
addition to static ones. This option requires that all dependencies of
the package have been compiled for use in shared libraries, too.
- enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
linking executables.
The default values for these attributes are arguments to the haskellPackages
expression.
* Haskell builds now run in a LANG="en_US.UTF-8" environment to avoid plenty
of build and test suite errors. Without this setting, GHC seems unable to
deal with the UTF-8 character encoding that's generally considered standard
in the Haskell world.
* The Cabal builder supports a new attribute 'testTarget' to specify the exact
set of tests to be run during the check phase.
* The ghc-wrapper attribute ghcVersion has been removed. Instead, we use the
ghc.version attribute, which exists in unwrapped GHC derivations, too.
