Instead of requiring the platforms be equal, use `isCompatible` to
determine if we can execute tests. The upside of this is that we now
can execute tests for natively cross compiled package sets like
pkgsStatic, pkgsLLVM and pkgsCross.musl64 etc.
canExecute is like isCompatible, but also checks that the Kernels are
_equal_, i.e. that both platforms use the same syscall interface. This
is crucial in order to actually be able to execute binaries for the
other platform.
isCompatible is dropped, since it has changed semantically and there's
no use case left in nixpkgs.
the motivation for this is to simplify stdenv and ease the job of
reviewers due to them needing to tell contributors about the defacto
rule that configureFlags should be a list of strings
stdenv: deprecate addCoverageInstrumentation adapter
this used to be used in nixos/tests but it hasn't been used in nixpkgs
for years
stdenv: deprecate replaceMaintainersField adapter
it was added in 2009 in 01e98e49b1
by nbp
there are no uses of it in nixpkgs now
stdenv: deprecate validateLicenses adapter
it was added in 2009 in b29073af25
unfreePredicate is now handled in ./pkgs/stdenv/generic/check-meta.nix
so this is unnecessary
This warning logs when a package has no maintainers. It will stay silent
if `meta.maintainers` is not set at all, only complaining when it is an
empty list. In the future a separate warning could be added to allow for
that stricter behavior. Or this warning could be changed.
This will allow for adding more validity types in the future, such as a
warning type. (which is in the next commit in this series)
This is NOT a breaking change because validity.valid is never exposed
outside of `stdenv.mkDerivation`.
This PR adds Hydra-generated bootstrap tarballs for powerpc64le-linux.
I'll be following the script established in PR to tarballs.nixos.org.
Files came from this Hydra build:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/172142499
Which used nixpkgs revision 49a83445c2
to instantiate:
/nix/store/gj272sd56gsj6qpyzh4njpfzwdhviliz-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu.drv
and then built:
/nix/store/n81pljbd8m0xgypm84krc2bnvqgjrfxx-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
I downloaded these files from Hydra with the following commands:
```
STOREPATH=n81pljbd8m0xgypm84krc2bnvqgjrfxx-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
OPTIONS="--option binary-caches https://cache.nixos.org"
nix store add-file \
--name bootstrap-tools.tar.xz \
$(nix-store ${OPTIONS} -r /nix/store/${STOREPATH})/on-server/bootstrap-tools.tar.xz
nix store add-path \
--name busybox \
$(nix-store ${OPTIONS} -r /nix/store/${STOREPATH})/on-server/busybox
```
As @lovesegfault requested in #151399, here are the the `sha256sum`s
of all the `on-server` components for extra verification:
```

This isn't really desirable in general, but given that Nix itself
currently relies on this behaviour and that we don't want to break
backwards compatibility we should support it for now, maybe
deprecating it in the future.
This reverts commit c1ef87e8d0.
I didn't realize that it would rebuild all linux stdenvs;
I certainly don't want to incur such a rebuild at this point.
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.
