This focuses on Rust packages, since the most commonly used argument
parser library (clap/structopt) makes the following pattern natural and
thus common:
postInstall = ''
installShellCompletion --cmd foo \
--bash <($out/bin/foo completion bash) \
…
This commit just guards those with
lib.optionalString (stdenv.buildPlatform.canExecute stdenv.hostPlatform)
splitting the string where unrelated actions are performed.
Otherwise references to the Python interpreter inside the set are wrong, as demonstrated by:
``` nix
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
python' = python3.override {
packageOverrides = final: prev: { requests = prev.requests.overridePythonAttrs(old: { version = "1337"; }); };
};
in python'.pkgs.python.pkgs.requests
```
which returns the _non_ overriden requests.
And the same with `self`:
```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
python' = python3.override {
self = python';
packageOverrides = final: prev: { requests = prev.requests.overridePythonAttrs(old: { version = "1337"; }); };
};
in python'.pkgs.python.pkgs.requests
```
which returns the overriden requests.
This can manifest itself as file collisions when constructing environments or as subtly incorrect dependency graphs.
This was achieved using the following command:
sd 'wrapGAppsHook\b' wrapGAppsHook3 (rg -l 'wrapGAppsHook\b')
And then manually reverted the following changes:
- alias in top-level.nix
- function name in wrap-gapps-hook.sh
- comment in postFixup of at-spi2-core
- comment in gtk4
- comment in preFixup of 1password-gui/linux.nix
- comment in postFixup of qgis/unwrapped-ltr.nix and qgis/unwrapped.nix
- comment in postFixup of telegram-desktop
- comment in postFixup of fwupd
- buildCommand of mongodb-compass
- postFixup of xflux-gui
- comment in a patch in kdePackages.kde-gtk-config and plasma5Packages.kde-gtk-config
- description of programs.sway.wrapperFeatures.gtk NixOS option (manual rebuild)
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.
According to Nixpkgs manual[1] and NixOS 23.11 Release Note[2], the
`sourceRoot` attribute passed to `stdenv.mkDerivation` should be
specified as `"${src.name}"` or `"${src.name}/subdir"` when `src` is
produced using `fetchgit`-based fetchers.
`sourceRoot = "source"` or `sourceRoot = "source/subdir"` is based on
the assumption that the `name` attribute of these pre-unpacked fetchers
are always `"source"`, which is not the case. Expecting constant `name`
also makes the source FODs prone to irrelevent hashes during version
bumps.
