I added this conflict because on bb5 I was using system gcc 4.8.5 and I saw build was failing.

This is also ok but many packages don't add curl explicitly because it's spack prerequisite.

Nix configure fails if curl dependency is not specified.

this doc variant is failing me on bb5:
GEN doc/manual/manual.is-valid
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.org/xml/5.0/rng/docbook.rng
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.org/xml/5.0/rng/docbook.rng"
Relax-NG parser error : xmlRelaxNGParse: could not load http://docbook.org/xml/5.0/rng/docbook.rng
Relax-NG schema http://docbook.org/xml/5.0/rng/docbook.rng failed to compile
-:1: parser error : Document is empty
make: *** [doc/manual/manual.is-valid] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
==> Error: ProcessError: Command exited with status 2:
'make' '-j16'
I see people suggesting docs to be disabled. Or, there might be a fix?

I will try with docbook dependency. In the meantime, let's keep this PR open.

This is ok but having - in variant name sometime confuses. Because, package-A-B on command lines "could" mean disable variant A and B.

Thank you. I will remove the -.

To me PR is ready. What do you think @pramodk ? |
This pull-request allows me to install Nix on external super-computers.
@pramodskumbhar do you have feedback on those recipes?
