dontAddExtraLibs was removed by accident (IMO) in ea19a8ed1e
* ghcHEAD: add ability to use system libffi
- enable nixpkgs' libffi
- minimise diffs against 8.10.1
- remove patching
* remove configure warning about --with-curses-includes
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-curses-includes
This provides a means to build a PHP package based on a list of
extensions from another.
For example, to generate a package with all default extensions
enabled, except opcache, but with ImageMagick:
php.withExtensions (e:
(lib.filter (e: e != php.extensions.opcache) php.enabledExtensions)
++ [ e.imagick ])
So now we have only packages for human interaction in php.packages and
only extensions in php.extensions. With this php.packages.exts have
been merged into the same attribute set as all the other extensions to
make it flat and nice.
The nextcloud module have been updated to reflect this change as well
as the documentation.
- Use git.Repo(ROOT, search_parent_directories=True) to find nixpkgs
repo.
- Don't commit overrides.nix.
- Remove "-a" short argument.
- Remove "--commit" flag and commit by default.
- Improve help/error messages.
- Favor closure pattern over classes.Use a closure to wrap the update
function with state rather than a callable class.
- break NixpkgsRepo class into functions
- Optional None-type arguments
- Remove repo checks from update.py. Git is too flexible and permits too
many workflows for my attempt to replace documentation with code to work.
My goal would be to separate the `--add` functionality from the update
functionality in the near term and then there will be no reason for this
usage to create commits anyway.
This reverts commit 5e8545e723.
It breaks eval:
attribute 'rev' missing, at /var/lib/ofborg/checkout/repo/38dca4e3aa6bca43ea96d2fcc04e8229/mr-est/eval-0-gleber.ewr1.nix.ci/pkgs/top-level/make-tarball.nix:106:39
I din't try to pinpoint the exact commit, but we started getting:
> The extension smart is not supported for docbook
Reading pandoc docs, I can't see what use to us "smart" could be
when writing the in-between docbook (to be converted to html).

Previously, we would asssert that the lockfiles are consistent during the
unpackPhase, but if the pkg has a patch for the lockfile itself then we must
wait until the patchPhase is complete to check.
This also removes an implicity dependency on the src attribute coming from
`fetchzip` / `fetchFromGitHub`, which happens to name the source directory
"source". Now we glob for it, so different fetchers will work consistently.
This has several advantages:
1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store.
2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages.
3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache.
4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only
substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes).
5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work.
6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output
package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at
runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in
the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a
build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time
src dependencies are tarred up.
Disadvantages are:
1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build.
As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a
rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented
behavior that change the `cargoSha256`.
If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a
series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.
No material changes to docs, but trying to sanitize them for consistent
readability prior to looking at #75837.
- Use `*` for lists instead of `-`. I have no opinion one way or the other, but
the latter was only used in 1-2 places.
- Pad the code blocks with whitespace.
- Wrap to 80 characters, except for a few 1-liners that were only slightly over.
When updating the section to python 3 some places still
referred to pythonPackages and were overlooked.
Decided to switch it to be more similar to the first
example binding pythonPackages and clarified comments a
bit based on confusion I observed on IRC.

Updating section about imperative use of ad-hoc virtual-environments for
use of pythons built-in `venv` module via venvShellHook. Also trying to
make it a bit friendlier to beginners by adding a bit more explanation
to the code snippet and some remarks old-school virtualenv.
Adjusting for venvShellHook and adding manual example
Adding pip install and replacing python2 example with python3
When modSha256 is null, disable the nix sandbox instead of using a
fixed-output derivation. This requires the nix-daemon to have
`sandbox = relaxed` set in their config to work properly.
Because the output is (hopefully) deterministic based on the inputs,
this should give a reproducible output. This is useful for development
outside of nixpkgs where re-generating the modSha256 on each mod.sum
changes is cumbersome.
Don't use this in nixpkgs! This is why null is not the default value.
We shouldn’t force the user to have a C compiler in scope, just
because the derivation is forced to build locally. That can’t be
counted as “lightweight” anymore.

This has the same motivation as fetchFromGitHub/fetchFromGitLab --
it's cheaper to download a tarball of a single revision than it is to
download a whole history.
I could have gone with domain/group/repo, like fetchFromGitLab, but it
would have made implementation more difficult, and this syntax means
it's a drop-in replacement for fetchgit, so I decided it wasn't worth
it.
The package set is not maintained. It is also not used by most of the
BEAM community. Removing it to allow a more useful set of tools fit to
the BEAM community in Nixpkgs.
In my opinion Functions should only contain pure functions. These are
both meant to provide derivations so I put them under Builders. Don't
know exactly *where* to put them so "special" it is...
Reorganize the chapters into parts and reduce the TOC depth to make the
TOC useful again. The top-level TOC is very brief, but that is fine
because every part will have its own TOC.
Section titles of languages/frameworks are also simplified to just
the name of the language/framework.
@garbas and @seppeljordan, are these updates correct?
I removed `offlinehacker/pypi2nix` as an unmaintained ancestor of the current repo `nix-community/pypi2nix`. It appears @garbas forked `offlinehacker/pypi2nix` to `garbas/pypi2nix` and then handed off maintainership to @seppeljordan, transferring the repo to `nix-community/pypi2nix`.
One issue with cargoSha256 is that it's hard to detect when it needs to
be updated or not. It's possible to upgrade a package and forget to
update cargoSha256 and run with old versions of the program or
libraries.
This commit introduces `verifyCargoDeps` which, when enabled, will check
that the Cargo.lock is not out of date in the cargoDeps by comparing it
with the package source.
