[Nix-dev] Nix expression for OpenModelica

[Sergey Mironov]

I agree, adding OM expression to nixpkgs is the preferred way. The
reason I started with standalone expression is the complexity of OM
building scenario. The major problem arises from the fact, that
Makefile calls GIT and SVN to fetch additional sources (more than 70
libraries are fetched this way!). Standalone expression allowed me to
debug the generic build process with nix-shell.

Today I finished the complete expression, the pull request is available at
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/8918

Github already reports about Travis CI build failure. In the details
section one could find:

Auto-merging pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix
error: while querying the derivation named ‘pypy2.6-rainbowstream-1.2.7’:
while evaluating the attribute ‘postPatch’ of the derivation
‘pypy2.6-rainbowstream-1.2.7’ at
/home/travis/.nox/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/python-modules/generic/default.nix:65:3:
attribute ‘sitePackages’ missing, at
/home/travis/.nox/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix:7515:19

What does Travis try to make? What can I do to fix it?

Regards,
Sergey
