This was added in 2005 back in r51ce4ea2. This was not commented or
explained anywhere, and it does not seem to be necessary anymore
according to some quick testing I did.
Reduces mono closure size by ~100M.
This was introduced in 2010 in 9e16b812 and as far as I can tell the
issue mentioned in the comment does not exist anymore. In a stripped
mono build, I was able to:
- Run "mcs --version" without trouble (original test case)
- Run "keepass" (mono app)
- Build packages that depend on mono (e.g. f# and others).
$ nix path-info -sh
Before: 537.8M
After: 304.3M
$ nix path-info -Sh
Before: 1.2G
After: 867.0M
(Transitive closure size decreases more than the package size itself
because mono ended up depending on gcc through leaked paths in .so files
before.)
Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces
Negative reasoning like `allBut` is a bad idea with an open world of
platforms. Concretely, if we add a new, quite different sort of
platform, existing packages with `allBut` will claim they work on it
even though they probably won't.
See #32386 -- while Mono in general should build correctly with parallel
building, it seems the 4.4 branch has broken.
Instead, allow parallel build support to be overridden by individual
versions, and default to true.
