Closes#193336Closes#261694
Related to #108984
The goal here was to get the following flake to build and run on
`aarch64-darwin`:
```nix
{ inputs.nixpkgs.url = <this branch>;
outputs = { nixpkgs, ... }: {
checks.aarch64-darwin.default =
nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.nixosTest {
name = "test";
nodes.machine = { };
testScript = "";
};
};
}
```
… and after this change it does. There's no longer a need for the
user to set `nodes.*.nixpkgs.pkgs` or
`nodes.*.virtualisation.host.pkgs` as the correct values are inferred
from the host system.
Add a makeWrapperArgs argument to all script writers under pkgs.writers.
This can be used to set, prefix, or suffix the PATH or other environment variables which improves the ability to generate scripts with reproducible behavior.
Some of the writers (writeBash, writeDash, writeFish, writeNu) previously did not support passing an argument set, for example
```
writeBash "example" "echo hello"
```
In order to add the new capability to these writers as well, their call signature is now overloaded in order to allow the following:
(The old call style from the example above remains intact)
```
writeBash "example"
{ makeWrapperArgs = [ "--prefix" "PATH" ":" "${pkgs.hello}/bin" ]; }
''
hello
''
```
Done as well:
- add tests
- add more docs
- fix some misleading docs
- extend existing docs with more examples
The change is insignificant when the owner is root. However, when it
is not root, this change is needed to allow using Nix (as an
unprivileged user) inside the container.
Ada depencencies musst be build with the same gnat version as the
project. Use a namespace as preperation to build with different gnat
versions.
gprbuild and gnatprove are still globaly visable.
The loaded database contains timestamps of when the nix paths were
registered. Depending on the host store, these can differ between runs.
Resetting them to a well known values ensures that the produced image is
reproducible.
This commit adds support for swapping out the compression algorithm
used in all major docker-tools commands that generate images. The
default algorithm remains unchanged (gzip).
This fetcher is to be used with PyPi mirrors exposing the "legacy" API, such as devpi.
A variant of this fetcher has been used in poetry2nix for years and
has served us well there to support private PyPi mirrors and Devpi.
Example usage:
``` nix
fetchPypiLegacy {
file = "urllib3-1.26.2.tar.gz";
hash = "sha256:19188f96923873c92ccb987120ec4acaa12f0461fa9ce5d3d0772bc965a39e08";
pname = "urllib3";
url = "https://pypi.org/simple";
}
```
