The idea is to have an almost-automatic conversion from QuickLisp, the
definitive Common Lisp package repository, to Nix. The benefit over just
using lispPackages.quicklisp is automatic installation of non-Lisp
dependencies from NixPkgs (and integration with Nix package management).
The benefit over lispPackages for normal Lisp packages is packaging just
a snapshot of QuickLisp which is known to be tested for version
compatibility between libraries.
There are some packages in lispPackages that are not from QuickLisp (for
example, the installable wrapper of QuickLisp itself). My hope is to
replace the rest with the expressions converted from QuickLisp.
Note that the current commit is a mere addition.
Now works with newer version of vim youcompleteme plugin.
Details:
- The OS X patch is no longer necessary as that code was removed upstream.
- It seems to want LLVM version 4 now.
- It annoyingly wants to symlink libclang.4 to libclang.4.0; nix already
did this.
All 20 tests did fail because no gpg binary was found. With gnupg1 as
build input they never finish. Deactivating them might be the best
option for now (and it improves the current situation since they never
actually succeeded anyway -> build was failing, I noticed this while
running nox-review for #24390).
Additional tools:
- gpg-key2latex
- gpgdir
- gpgwrap
This module is really hacky and the dependencies are very messy... :o
However I tried my best at testing all 19 individual tools and they
should (hopefully) all work now (apart from sendmail which can be
provided by multiple packages) :)
The code is very redundant (sorry) but imho it's easier to read and
maintain it that way.
TODO: There are some additional manual pages that could be included (I'm
too exhausted for that atm...). And there might be a lot of stuff that
could be improved in the future.
This patch restructures the expression and wrapper to minimize Nix store
references captured by the user's state directory.
The previous version would write lots of references to the Nix store into
the user's state directory, resulting in synchronization issues between
the Store and the local state directory. At best, this would cause TBB to
stop working when the version used to instantiate the local state was
garbage collected; at worst, a user would continue to use the old version
even after an upgrade.
To solve the issue, hard-code as much as possible at the Store side and
minimize the amount of stuff being copied into the local state dir.
Currently, only a few files generated at firefox startup and fontconfig
cache files end up capturing store paths; these files are simply removed
upon every startup. Otherwise, no capture should occur and the user
should always be using the TBB associated with the tor-browser wrapper
script.
To check for stale Store paths, do
`grep -Ero '/nix/store/[^/]+' ~/.local/share/tor-browser`
This command should *never* return any other store path than the one
associated with the current tor-browser wrapper script, even after an
update (assuming you've run tor-browser at least once after updating).
Deviations from this general rule are considered bugs from now on.
Note that no attempt has been made to support pluggable transports; they
are still broken with this patch (to be fixed in a follow-up patch).
User visible changes:
- Wrapper retains only environment variables required for TBB to work
- pulseaudioSupport can be toggled independently of mediaSupport (the
latter weakly implies the former).
- Store local state under $TBB_HOME. Defaults to $XDG_DATA_HOME/tor-browser
- Stop obnoxious first-run stuff (NoScript redirect, in particular)
- Set desktop item GenericName to Web Browser
Some minor enhancements:
- Disable Hydra builds
- Specify system -> source mapping to make it easier to
extend supported platforms.
The community support window for Qt 5.5 has ended. All packages should
- update to Qt 5.8, or
- pin to Qt 5.6 (the 3-year long-term support release), or
- for proprietary software, use the vendored libraries.
The community support window for Qt 5.7 has ended. All packages should
- update to Qt 5.8, or
- pin to Qt 5.6 (the 3-year long-term support release), or
- for proprietary software, use the vendored libraries.
Ppx_ast selects a specific version of the OCaml Abstract Syntax
Tree from the migrate-parsetree project that is not necessarily
the same one as the one being used by the compiler.
