The nixpkgs-unstable channel's programs.sqlite was used to identify
packages producing exactly one binary, and these automatically added
to their package definitions wherever possible.
stdenv.targetPlatform really shouldn't be used by software that
doesn't generate or manipulate binaries. I reviewed all uses of
targetPlatform outside of pkgs/development/compilers and pkgs/stdenv
and replaced those which weren't involved in something which fits
these criteria.
*Flags implies a list
slightly relevant:

the makeInstalledTests function in `nixos/tests/installed-tests/default.nix` isn't available outside of nixpkgs so
it's not a breaking change
At some point, I'd like to make another attempt at
71f1f4884b ("openssl: stop static binaries referencing libs"), which
was reverted in 195c7da07d. One problem with my previous attempt is
that I moved OpenSSL's libraries to a lib output, but many dependent
packages were hardcoding the out output as the location of the
libraries. This patch fixes every such case I could find in the tree.
It won't have any effect immediately, but will mean these packages
will automatically use an OpenSSL lib output if it is reintroduced in
future.
This patch should cause very few rebuilds, because it shouldn't make
any change at all to most packages I'm touching. The few rebuilds
that are introduced come from when I've changed a package builder not
to use variable names like openssl.out in scripts / substitution
patterns, which would be confusing since they don't hardcode the
output any more.
I started by making the following global replacements:
${pkgs.openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib pkgs.openssl}/lib
${openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib openssl}/lib
Then I removed the ".out" suffix when part of the argument to
lib.makeLibraryPath, since that function uses lib.getLib internally.
Then I fixed up cases where openssl was part of the -L flag to the
compiler/linker, since that unambigously is referring to libraries.
Then I manually investigated and fixed the following packages:
- pycurl
- citrix-workspace
- ppp
- wraith
- unbound
- gambit
- acl2
I'm reasonably confindent in my fixes for all of them.
For acl2, since the openssl library paths are manually provided above
anyway, I don't think openssl is required separately as a build input
at all. Removing it doesn't make a difference to the output size, the
file list, or the closure.
I've tested evaluation with the OfBorg meta checks, to protect against
introducing evaluation failures.

Since the last time I ran this script, the Repology API changed, so I had to
adapt the script used in the previous PR. The new API should be more robust, so
overall this is a positive (no more grepping the error messages for our relevant
data but just a nice json structure).
Here's the new script I used:
```sh
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "homepage_permanent_https_redirect") | .data | "s@\(.url)@\(.target)@"' \
| sort | uniq | tee script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
I will also add this script to `maintainers/scripts`.
Before this commit, we only built the main ACL2 executable. Most users
will also want the standard library (the "Community Books"), so after
this commit, we build the entire `make everything` suite, which includes
essentially everything provided in the ACL2 repository.
There's also a new top-level package called `acl2-minimal` which has
just the core ACL2 executable, for those who really only want that.
Future work: modularize the build so that we can support multiple
different subsets of the standard library. A lot of the stuff in this
complete build is probably superfluous to almost all users. Also,
because some of the books have unclear or idiosyncratic licenses, the
full build will not be cached on cache.nixos.org, and installing it will
mean spending a few hours building it. So it would be good to have a
pared down build which excluded non-free books and things that people
rarely or never use.
The `make regression` line was failing because the expression was
downloading a core-system-only, no-libraries source tarball. I
switched to using fetchFromGitHub, which downloads the full source
code -- the core system as well as the "community books",
i.e. libraries -- but the libraries unfortunately do not build yet
because they have more dependencies than the core system, and they
also run into some impurity problems during the build process.
This commit changes the ACL2 package so that at least the user will
obtain the latest version of the core system, even though they won't
get the community books. In a later commit I hope to fix this; it
will require either changes to ACL2 itself, or a patch to be applied
to ACL2 in nixpkgs.
ACL2 7.4 has no trouble building on the current version of SBCL in
nixpkgs, so I let it do so instead of using the ancient SBCL version
1.2.0 from 2014.
I also added myself as a maintainer to this package, since I'm an
active contributor to the ACL2 project and am interested in seeing it
working on Nix.
ACL2 = A Computational Logic for Applicative Common Lisp. It is
a Lisp sublanguage and a correctness prover for it.
