By syncing with Nixpkgs, we reuse the same derivation, which is generally a good idea, and has the benefit that it is transitively a channel blocker. Changes: - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/163313 (SuperSandro2000) > nix: disable big-parallel for aws-sdk-cpp > aws-sdk-cpp only takes ~1m52s on a 4 core machine under 50% load > which does not justify the requirement on big parallel. > Tested with `nix-build -A nixVersions.nix_2_6.aws-sdk-cpp`. > I can finally build nix without requiring a big-parallel machine. - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/227506 (Artturin) > nix: use [ ] instead null to empty requiredSystemFeatures > fixes 'error: value is null while a list was expected' with 'nixpkgs.hostPlatform.gcc.arch = "x86_64";' |
