This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.
This also:
- removes texLive (old), fixes #14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive
io uses SIMD instructions even on i686, causing the build to fail:
> /nix/store/[...]-gcc-5.4.0/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/5.4.0/include/xmmintrin.h:181:1:
error: inlining failed in call to always_inline '_mm_add_ps': target
specific option mismatch
_mm_add_ps (__m128 __A, __m128 __B)
(from https://hydra.nixos.org/build/37879114/log/raw)
The simplest solution is to disable the build on this platform.
This follows on from PR #16965 for qrupdate and PR #16968 for fltk.
WIth these, the added explicit dependencies on arpack (to support
the octave `eigs` function) and `libwebp`, and not pulling X11 things,
octave works properly on darwin.
Minor OTP releases (and their manpages) are not available for dowload at
http://erlang.org/download
But e.g.:
- 18.3.1 contains an important fix for mnesia
- 18.3.1-18.3.4 has a lot of SSL/TLS fixes
So we have to fetch from GitHub and build everything ourselves.
Also replace explicit path patching with upstream patches:
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1023
- https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1103 - with this patch it's now
possible to build erlang in sandboxed mode
