This refactoring changes a number of things:
- use system copies of Python libraries BeautifulSoup, and HTTPLIB2,
- custom install to avoid installation of unnecessary files and poor
directory structure, and
- add patch for sorting out file paths, in particular this fixes
localization.
"nix-env -iA gnupg" installs the 2.0.x version of GNU Privacy Guard. This patch
ensures that "nix-env -i gnupg" chooses the same version, instead of installing
GnuPG 2.1.x, which is considered a "development version".
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/11899.
Previously, the native libvirt package was making an assertion that
the dependent Python package had a compatible version. This commit
switches that so that the Python package makes the assertion, since
it makes more sense to me to have a child package making an
assertion about its parent than vice versa.
We seem to be in an unfortunate situation: booting without 'nomodeset'
causes hangs when booting on some NVIDIA cards (6948c3ab80), but on the
other hand adding 'nomodeset' prevents X from starting on other hardware
(e.g. issue #10381 and my Thinkpad X250 with an integrated Broadwell GPU).
Attempt to remedy this situation a bit by adding a separate entry in the
ISOLINUX menu (with the non-'nomodeset' being the default).
Updated SIP Simple SDK to new version, is a dependency for e.g. Blink (which needs to be updated as the old version does not build anymore because the tarball has been removed)
The docker module used different code for socket-activated docker daemon than for the non-socket activated daemon.
In particular, if the socket-activated daemon is used, then modprobe wasn't set up to be usable and in PATH for
the docker daemon, which resulted in a failure to start the daemon with overlayfs as storageDriver if the
`overlay` kernel module wasn't already loaded. This commit fixes that bug (which only appears if socket
activation is used), and also reduces the duplication between code paths so that it's easier to keep
both in sync in future.
