Both packages referred to the same repo (`gflags/gflags` at GitHub), both packages used almost the same version (2.2.1 and 2.2.0). Therefore I think that it's just fair to drop one of the packages to avoid duplication and reduce the maintenance overload. I decided to drop `gflags` originally packaged by @shlevy as it didn't contain testing support as `google-gflags` does. The package set refers from `gflags` to `google-gflags`, so both package names remain (to avoid any confusions), however the `gflags` expression is removed.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
