A derivation of the Hackage package "foo" is called "haskell-foo" if it is a library, but only "foo" if it is an executable (without a library). This distinction used to be fine when Haskell packages where visible to operations like "nix-env -qa" or "nix-env -i", but after our switch to Haskell NG it has no more purpose. Consequently, this patch removes the name prefix from all Haskell packages -- every Haskell package is now called exactly like it's called on Hackage. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/9538. |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% 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-14.12
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
