[Nix-dev] stdenv rebuild warning

Hi,

on Friday, August 6th I'll commit two small patches to 'trunk' that modify
pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh (see <87wrs8vuoh.fsf at write-only.cryp.to> for
further details). The effect is going to be a re-build of all packages that
depends on stdenv, which is pretty much everything. If you'd like to avoid
doing that re-build, you might want to wait a day before updating your
installation to make sure that Hydra is finished re-building the binary
packages. Or, to put it differently, if you have urgent updates to perform
on your system, it might be a good idea to do them now.

Take care,
Peter
