* vimPlugins: introduce passthru.initLua for some plugins
as described in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/172538, some vim
plugins need some configuration to be able to work at all.
We choose not to patch those plugins and instead expose the necessary
configuration to make them work in `PLUGIN.passthru.initLua`.
For now the user can check if plugins have a `PLUGIN.passthru.initLua`
and if yes, prepend it to their own init.lua.
Maybe later we can revisit this to either patch them in a way that is
clear that it's a nixpkgs patch or by having the neovim wrapper pick
those snippets and autoadd them to init.lua ?
* Update doc/languages-frameworks/vim.section.md

We haven't been good at managing expectations about this, so let's
tell people what level of support they can expect. I think the place
people are most likely to see it is the place where they learn about
overriding in the first place, so I've added it here.

Fix overriding of vendorHash and various attributes via the fixed point
attribute support of stdenv.mkDerivation.
Pass as derivation attributes
goModules, modRoot, vendorHash, deleteVendor, and proxyVendor.
Move goModules and vendorHash out of passthru.

`lib.trivial.revisionWithDefault` will change with every Git commit, which causes the manual to be rebuilt on every since PR.
Using `nixpkgs.rev` (or the dummy value "master" if it's not present) means that the manual will contain the revision if built on Hydra, but will not otherwise.
Why?
1. https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/trunk-combined#tabs-configuration shows that `pkgs/top-level/release.nix` is passed the `nixpkgs` attrset, which is a "Git checkout".
2. Git checkouts come from [`builtins.fetchGit`](https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/language/builtins#builtins-fetchGit) and include the `rev` attribute.
3. The `rev` attribute is what `lib.trivial.revisionWithDefault` would have returned.
So, using `nixpkgs.rev or "master"` exclusively will cause the rebuilds on every commit to cease, but will allow "official" nixpkgs manual built on Hydra to continue to reference a specific commit.
every other format is deprecated, so to imply that people should be setting it is misleading
(`pyproject = true` should also go away eventually, but is the way until
then)
so that meta.description examples shown in the documentation
align with recommendations given in the "Meta attributes" section
in pkgs/README.md.
The changes were made with the following commands:
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s(.)/"\U\2/'
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*".*\."' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/\."/"/'
Problem: `nix-build doc` gives a bunch of warnings because it inspects
`lib` to figure out where all the symbols are.
Solution: Move the step of figuring out where the symbols are to
a Nix evaluation inside a derivation instead.
Running the `update.py` script directly doesn't work anymore, so instead
replace all usages of it in the documentation with `nix-shell -p
vimPluginsUpdater --run 'vim-plugins-updater'`.
`mkComposerRepository` required `pname` and `version` since the beginning
(b36ad2f517), with the boolean attribute
becoming required later (3eb168da92).
For whatever reason `zip` in this case doesn't seem to be respecting the
`$TMP` or `$TMPDIR` variables, resulting in a permission denied error on
Darwin when sandbox is enabled.
The `-b` flag allows one to manually specify a tempdir, which allows the
build to succeed in spite of sandboxing.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/326380
This commit introduces two new properties:
`enable` and `type`, to replace the `enabled` property.
`enable` has the same meaning as is common across nixpkgs.
`type` has the same meaning as the existing `enabled` property.
`enabled` property is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Fixes#180654
`meta.sourceProvenance` has its own level 2 heading at the bottom of the file,
but unlike the other meta-attributes it doesn't have a level 3 heading under the
"Standard meta-attributes" section. Readers looking at the list of subheadings
directly under the "Standard meta-attributes" section header may not realize
that `meta.sourceProvenance` exists unless they scroll down to the bottom of the
page.
This commit adds a level 3 heading for sourceProvenance under "Standard
meta-attributes".
this removes the hard-coded listing from the Haskell examples, which can later be replaced by
a dynamic one as for the Python interpreters

`rustc.config` is called `rust.rustcTarget` now, and
`{rustc -> rust}.platform`.
This is the new way (tm), and is preferred since
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/271707 -
though the documentation still is outdated, and some expressions in
nixpkgs were using the old interface.
This updates both.
linuxManualConfig involves more boilerplate to change the kernel. Use
the wrapper linuxPackages_custom which is wrapper that takes an
attribute sets and calls linuxManualConfig approrpriately.
This is much easier for beginners to use instead of linuxManualConfig
helper.
Point to linuxManualConfig for further customizations.
* doc: add stdenv passthru chapter
Broad strokes:
- create the chapter
- move existing stdenv passthru coverage into it
- move out-of-place coverage of passthru.tests from the stdenv meta chapter into it
- (try to) apply 1-sentence-per-line to text I've touched
- add legacy anchors for everything moved
- update existing links to the new anchors
- add tentative motivating text
- make nixpkgs-internal links relative/branchless
razor: if it is only ever needed by contributors, which is likely if links
refer to the latest revision of the source code, then it's for
the contributor guide

Context:
@FlafyDev: I think flutter apps in nixpkgs should be required to specify
a flutter version. like flutter319 and flutter322 instead of using
flutter.

This makes `justStaticExecutables` error if the produced store path
contains references to GHC. This is almost always erroneous and due to
the generated `Paths_*` module being imported. This helps prevent
`justStaticExecutables` from producing binaries with closure sizes in
the gigabytes.

This change fixes cross-compilation for .NET packages (that are not
using .sln as project files). See relevant comment in the change list
for more details.
In addition to that, it removes dotnet-test-sdk that appears to be
broken, that is, dotnet --list-sdks does not recognize SDKs from PATH,
and when propagated from the check hook it was shadowed by inputs from
preceding hooks.
Note that dotnet-test-sdk used to work when it was introduced in PR
144062, but PR 155257 probably overlooked this case. However, currently
it is not used in Nixpkgs and I think dotnetCorePackages.combinePackages
should cover the intended use case for dotnet-test-sdk.
These flags are not part of waf, they're custom flags that are not
widely implemented. More packages are broken because of these flags
being added than actually recognise them.
Of the packages in Nixpkgs that directly depend on wafHook that we can
attempt to cross compile (i.e. all their dependencies cross compile),
5 already successfully cross compile and recognise these flags, 2
already successfully cross compile because they have been opted out of
these flags, 3 don't cross compile successfully for reasons unrelated
to these flags, and for the remaining 7, the only thing stopping them
cross compiling successfully is that they are being passed these flags
that they don't recognise.
All of the five successfully cross-compiling packages that do
recognise these flags are samba projects: ldb, talloc, tdb, tevent,
and samba4. So this isn't a general waf convention, just a samba one.
It therefore doesn't make sense to set these flags by default. They
should just be included in the expressions for each samba project,
like all the other quirks common to samba build systems.
This change fixes cross compilation of the following packages:
blockhash ganv ndn-cxx mda_lv2 pflask raul saldl
Fixes#256769
Repro + test of fix here: https://gitlab.com/ramirez7/bug-repros/-/merge_requests/1
Adds a `srcModifier` argument to `callCabal2nixWithOptions` to allow
customizing the source files used to generate the cabal file (e.g. to
support `hpack`/`package.yaml`).
This upgrades the default version of zig to zig_0_12, which builds
reproducibly on darwin.
Fixes#299091.
Also upgrades all packages compatible with zig 0.12 to that version.
I tried to upgrade packages currently pinning 0.11 as well, but only a
few worked.

In the past I was very active with Python packaging.
For several years now I was hardly around as maintainer,
so it does not make sense I am listed as a maintainer for
these makes. Looking back, I should have removed myself
as maintainer already much longer ago. Anyway, better late
than never.
It's been a fun ride, and I do intend to occasionally contribute
to Nixpkgs, but not in the same way it once was.
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)
There appears to be no clear reason why docbook should be referenced here,
except perhaps for historical reasons from when the manual still used
docbook.
that NixOS manual section talks a lot about Nixpkgs package
configuration, which really should not be there but rather in the
Nixpkgs manual itself. but this is a rabbit hole for another time.

* doc: improve fetchers overview, deduplicate readme content
* Improve caveat explanation and some fetchurl content
* move out consumer docs on source fetching
* move note on mirror URLs to the relevant section
this may be better suited for the `fetchurl` reference, but it's probably better to
just render that information into the manual. for now, because
- contributor documentation encourages mirrors
- we can expect contributors to dig into the source
- linking source files is trivial in in-code documentation
we leave it there.
* move instructions for updating hashes to the manual
* Add more clarity on text, reorganise source hash methods
