There are files not covered by this commit, because they will be adopted
soon. Namely:
- pkgs/by-name/zs/zsync/package.nix
- pkgs/games/bsdgames/default.nix
- pkgs/misc/ghostscript/default.nix
- pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/perf/default.nix
- pkgs/tools/system/logrotate/default.nix
with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
Passing `-l$NIX_BUILD_CORES` improperly limits the overall system load.
For a build machine which is configured to run `$B` builds where each
build gets `total cores / B` cores (`$C`), passing `-l $C` to make will
improperly limit the load to `$C` instead of `$B * $C`.
This effect becomes quite pronounced on machines with 80 cores, with
40 simultaneous builds and a cores limit of 2. On a machine with this
configuration, Nix will run 40 builds and make will limit the overall
system load to approximately 2. A build machine with this many cores
can happily run with a load approaching 80.
A non-solution is to oversubscribe the machine, by picking a larger
`$C`. However, there is no way to divide the number of cores in a way
which fairly subdivides the available cores when `$B` is greater than
1.
There has been exploration of passing a jobserver in to the sandbox,
or sharing a jobserver between all the builds. This is one option, but
relatively complicated and only supports make. Lots of other software
uses its own implementation of `-j` and doesn't support either `-l` or
the Make jobserver.
For the case of an interactive user machine, the user should limit
overall system load using `$B`, `$C`, and optionally systemd's
cpu/network/io limiting features.
Making this change should significantly improve the utilization of our
build farm, and improve the throughput of Hydra.
tigervnc ships vncserver, quote from the documentation:
vncserver - a wrapper script which makes starting Xvnc more convenient vncserver requires Perl.
* tigervnc: correct default ssh client path
The -via command sets up an ssh tunnel, but is hardcoded to /usr/bin/ssh
upstream. This patches it to use the nixpkgs openssh client.
* tigervnc: patch ssh path correctly
---
Using the configure option relieves us of the patch and passing the path
via the env var in many places. Also the env var may not be inherited
when components like gdm spawn new sessions.
- Prevent store collison with the xserver for two files
- Stop gcc from complaining at build time about C and CXX flags
- Enable parallel building for this expression
- Move to the new way of calling Xorg and it's dependencies
The default xorgserver is now on 1.16 and so the patch needs to change.
The 116 patch is not in 1.3.1 so we also need to upgrade.
I don't know how to compute this filename since the xorgserver derivation
doesn't have a version attribute.
