When specifying the `builder` attribute in `stdenv.mkDerivation`, this
will be effectively transformed into
builtins.derivation {
builder = stdenv.shell;
args = [ "-e" builder ];
}
This also means that `default-builder.sh` is never sourced and as a
result it's not guaranteed that `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` is set to a correct
location[1].
Also, we need to source `.attrs.sh` to source `$stdenv`. So, the
following is done now:
* If `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` points to a correct location, then use it.
Directly using `.attrs.sh` is problematic for `nix-shell(1)` usage
(see previous commit for more context), so prefer the environment
variable if possible.
* Otherwise, if `.attrs.sh` exists, then use it. See [1] for when this
can happen.
* If neither applies, it can be assumed that `__structuredAttrs` is
turned off and thus nothing needs to be done.
[1] It's possible that it doesn't exist at all - in case of Nix 2.3 or
it can point to a wrong location on older Nix versions with a bug in
`__structuredAttrs`.
We seem to have enough tests to run into this now:
error: creating symlink from '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/gcroots/profiles' to '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/profiles': File exists
On Darwin, /tmp is sometimes a symlink to /private/tmp, which couldn't
be handled before:
error: access to canonical path '/private/var/folders/xp/9_ry6h9x6l9gh_g32qspz0_40000gp/T/.tmpFbcNO0' is forbidden in restricted mode
This both fixes that and adds a test to make sure it can't happen again
This reverts commit d33a309f2c9f85c28cb897e623503f210057a77a.
commit caused ofborg-eval to fail with
```
$ nix-build pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A tests.cc-wrapper.gcc10Stdenv.aarch64-darwin
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'cannot find attribute `tests.cc-wrapper.gcc10Stdenv''
```
on the 3 other platfomrs the attr is there
ignore `llvmPackages_latest`, it's an alias and it'll be a duplicate.
ignore `llvmPackages_git`, it's not supposed to be used in nixpkgs and
may be broken.
This introduces the `pkgs/by-name` directory as proposed by RFC 140.
Included are:
- The implementation to add packages defined in that directory to the
top-level package scope
- Contributer documentation on how to add packages to it
- A GitHub Actions workflow to check the structure of it on all PRs
most tests use debian-devscripts' hardening-check, so only work on
ELF systems and can only detect a limited subset of flags.
some extra tests actually execute fortify-protected programs and
should be slightly more universally applicable.
- Better filesystem case-sensitivity heuristic
We shouldn't assume that Linux is always case-sensitive.
- Don't include case-sensitive filename in tree
Was used for tests, but this broke channel updates because there's a
check to make sure there's no case-sensitive files!
