Hi,
cause:
I had a merge mistake resulting in
ln -s $i..../* $out/.../
where $i..../* doesn't exist (upstart-0.5 no longer has logd)
This in turn made nixos-rebuild fail (because it could'nt start/stop the
job "*")
The general fix is easy, adding
shopt -s nullglob
to the bulider{,-new}.sh
However the fix is not that important to force everything to be rebuild.
That's why I've added a new branch to my git rebository
(git://mawercer.de/nixpkgs) called
useful_patches_forcing_rebuild. Then we can apply them all at once.
You're invited to add your enhancements as well.
Sincerly
Marc Weber
