As @oxij points out in [1], this breakage is especially serious because
it changes the contents of built environments without a corresonding
change in their hashes. Also, the revert is easier than I thought.
This reverts commit 3cb745d5a6.

The `DISPLAY` environment variable is propagated into chroots built with
`buildFHSUserEnv`, but currently the `XAUTHORITY` variable is not. When
the latter is set, its value is usually necessary in order to connect to
the X server identified by the former.
This matters for users running gdm3, for example, who have `XAUTHORITY`
set to something like `/run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority` instead of the X
default of `~/.Xauthority`, which doesn't exist in that setup.
Fixes#21532.
This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
They're additional commits from #26877.
Changing names of the fetched stuff was changing very many hashes,
and I think it's better to avoid that for the moment to reduce work
needed by nixpkgs users. The fetchers are expected to be commonly
used even outside nixpkgs, and the current naming wasn't that bad
usually.
(commit analogical to d10c3cc5eedf58e80e2; I haven't noticed the part of
the PR has already got to master)
The freedesktop specification says that the autostart folder is located at $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart.
Nixos defines XDG_CONFIG_DIRS as /etc/xdg. So we need to copy the desktop files into the right folder
with make-startupitem.
This will override the existing winsymlinks setting. nativestrict
will cause ln to fail if it's unable to create a native symlink.
Native symlinks are required for the windows dll loader to find the
libraries.
This script is also used for cross-mingw, but setting CYGWIN
shouldn't cause a problem.
This allows users to specify a custom registry src,
because currently every packager would need to create
an outdated Cargo.lock just to be compatible with the
probably outdated rustRegistry in nixpkgs.
Currently there is no easy way to convince cargo to
do that, so this makes that workaround unnecessary.
I think it's ok to export things which aren't wrapped. The cc-wrapper
can be thought of as responsible for all of binutils and the c
compiler, only wrapping those binaries which are necessary to
interposition---as opposed to all binaries it thinks are relevaant.
Conversely, adding the setup hook to the unwrapped compilers would be
unforunate as hooks are ugly hacks and the compilers themselves take
a long time to rebuild. Better to wholely separate "pure packages" from
hacks.
Eventually we should avoid this "pre-wrapping" and just update those
files in nixpkgs. This mass-rebuild change is best done along with
those needed to reduce the disparity between native and cross (i.e.
making native the "identity cross").
