It is no longer dependent in its + initial bootstrap stages on the system Glibc, GCC, and other tools. + Rather, Nixpkgs contains a statically linked bash and curl, and uses + that to download other statically linked tools. These are then used + to build a Glibc and dynamically linked versions of all other + tools. + + This change also makes the bootstrap process faster. For instance, + GCC is built only once, not thrice. + + (Contributed by Armijn Hemel.) + +* Many packages have been changed and added, but notably: + + - Qt 3 has been added. + + - Mysql has been added. diff --git a/pkgs/STABLE b/STABLE similarity index 100% rename from pkgs/STABLE rename to STABLE diff --git a/pkgs/VERSION b/VERSION similarity index 100% rename from pkgs/VERSION rename to VERSION diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt b/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt similarity index 100% rename from pkgs/maintainers/docs/bugs.txt rename to maintainers/docs/bugs.txt diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/classification.txt b/maintainers/docs/classification.txt similarity index 100% rename from pkgs/maintainers/docs/classification.txt rename to maintainers/docs/classification.txt diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/docs/todo.txt b/maintainers/docs/todo.txt similarity index 100% rename from pkgs/maintainers/docs/todo.txt rename to maintainers/docs/todo.txt diff --git a/pkgs/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh b/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh similarity index 100% rename from pkgs/maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh rename to maintainers/scripts/evacuate-urls.sh
