Release 0.9.0

0.9.0 - 2022-07-18

Added

• Support registering a Java toolchain for Bazel 5
  See #185
• nixpkgs_cc_configure gained a flag to disable automatic registration of the toolchain it creates.
  See #179
• Rust toolchain and example
  See #178
• python-container example
  See #226
• Allow to specify platform constraints in nixpkgs_cc_configure
  See #164

• Detect whether compiler is Clang at nix eval time

  Note: If you have previously passed a custom cc toolchain to nixpkgs_cc_configure you need to provide a boolean isClang attribute now, e.g.:

  pkgs.buildEnv {
        name = "bazel-nixpkgs-cc";
        paths = [ cumstom-cc ];
        pathsToLink = [ "/bin" ];
        passthru = {
          isClang = custom-cc.isClang;
        };
      }

Fixed

• Avoid error when include dirs list is empty
  See #234
• Ensure nixpkgs will work with Bazel build from source
  See #231
• Fix call to repository_ctx.file using nix_file_content with nixpkgs_local_repository
  See #210
• Fix python example build on macOS
  See #189
• nixpkgs_local_repository strips executable bit of nix files
  See #160
