After this change, enableParallelBuilding defaults to true for packages
using buildDotnetModule. The argument value already defaults to true,
but we did not use it. Note that default values in Nix are not present
in the arguments attribute set, e.g. `args` does not contain `def` for
`{ def ? true }@args: …` function unless this argument is explicitly
passed.
Previously, it wasn't possible to access the list of platforms we can
build Rust programs for outside of buildRustPackage. This was a
problem for packages that have optional Rust components, like
gstreamer or Meson, as there was no way to only build the Rust parts
for supported platforms. Now it's possible to get that information
from rustc's passthru.
Always specify the postPhases attribute as a list instead of a string.
Append elements to the postPhases Bash variable using appendToVar
instead of string or Bash array concatenation.
Always specify the preDistPhases attribute as a list instead of a string.
Append elements to the preDistPhases Bash variable using appendToVar

Handle element insertion before a specific element using string
substitution as before, but handle both structured and unstructured

Always specify the preConfigurePhases attribute as a list instead of a
string.
Append elements to the preConfigurePhases Bash variable using
appendToVar instead of string or Bash array concatenation.

Before an overlay in the form of:
package.overrideAttrs (old: {
passthru = {};
})
would fail evaluation like:
error: attribute 'overrideModAttrs' missing
at /nix/store/afwc3m1sm49qq57xjv2hmd7iy4x0j33h-source/pkgs/build-support/go/module.nix:179:20:

179| }).overrideAttrs finalAttrs.passthru.overrideModAttrs;
| ^
180|
Now instead we take the fallback default.
We should constrain the set of supported platforms to the platforms
supported by the compiler. Otherwise we run into the unfortunate
situation where setting meta.platforms in a Rust package to
platforms.unix or platforms.linux will reintroduce CPU architectures
unsupported by the compiler.
`importNpmLock.buildNodeModules` returns a derivation with a pre-built `node_modules` directory, as imported by `importNpmLock`.
This is to be used together with `importNpmLock.hooks.linkNodeModulesHook` to facilitate `nix-shell`/`nix develop` based development workflows:
```nix
pkgs.mkShell {
packages = [
importNpmLock.hooks.linkNodeModulesHook
nodejs
];
npmDeps = importNpmLock.buildNodeModules {
npmRoot = ./.;
inherit nodejs;
};
}
```
will create a development shell where a `node_modules` directory is created & packages symlinked to the Nix store when activated.
This code is adapted from https://github.com/adisbladis/buildNodeModules
Rationale: Since RFCs 140 and 146, the old category-based hierarchy is
deprecated and obsolete, and a new approach took place: packages should be as
self-contained as possible.
This paradigm is reflected in many new strict checks that prohibit a package to
refer to files outside its directory tree.
Following this spirit, this commit essentially moves nixpkgs
pkgs/test/default.nix to ./tests/default.nix.
Further, to keep the top-level `tests` attribute, a green alias is kept in the
place of older file.
There's no need to use a Nix file in the path here. By using a different
file we won't cause rebuilds when we change the Nix file, in particular
also when the Nix file is reformatted.
The previously used pattern was introduced in #318614, but technically
leaked the default flags into the global scope. While this would
probably not make much of a practical difference, making concatTo
support default values is a much cleaner approach.
This adds a new `imageStream` option that can be used in conjunction
with `pkgs.dockerTools.streamLayeredImage` so that the image archive
never needs to be materialized in the `/nix/store`. This greatly
improves the disk utilization for systems that use container images
built using Nix because they only need to store image layers instead of
the full image. Additionally, when deploying the new system and only
new layers need to be built/copied.
Currently we cannot debug rust binaries on darwin (via lldb).
The debug symbols seem to be provided by default in a number of files
in `target/debug/deps/*.rcgu.o`. As far as I can tell these have
hardcoded paths referring to the ephemeral build directory. However,
`split-debuginfo=packed` conveniently produces a `.dSYM` file that can
be copied to `$out/bin/` and immediately provide debugging information.

This envvar is also added to lib.proxyImpureEnvVars since it's
typically required for https proxies.
This change also updates fetchgit and go module fetching to use this
envvar. NIX_GIT_SSL_CAINFO is still supported for backwards
compatibility in fetchgit.
Since version 2.0.0, proc-macro-crate has assumed it can exec()
`env::var("CARGO")` in order to run `cargo locate-project`.
This commit adds a crate override to proc-macro-crate which simply writes the
path to buildPlatform.cargo into the proc-macro-crate sources.
This way we don't need to set `env.CARGO` for every build that depends on
proc-macro-crate -- if we do that, the $CARGO environment variable would be
visible to the entire build. This could potentially lead to incredibly
hard-to-troubleshoot heisenbugs if there is some other crate that expects
`env::var("CARGO")` to exist -- that other crate would mysteriously work only
in projects that use proc-macro-crate but not anywhere else!
Fixes two bugs:
- pass a forgotten `{}` to `compressDrv`.
- remove incorrect usage of `lndir` in `compressDrv`. I added a brief
comment on why, see [this comment][1] for more details.

String-interpolation converts path objects inside `contents` into store
paths to ensure they are properly included in the result image.
See tests.trivial-builders.references for the necessity of
string-interpolation.
Quote each string-interpolated content member to accomodates spaces
inside.
Was trying out the recommended example for `writePython3Bin` and it
failed with:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/nix/store/gcmhfm7mslpndjasfhvs66f1ca24vxim-test_py3/bin/test_py3", line 4, in <module>
y = yaml.load("""
TypeError: load() missing 1 required positional argument: 'Loader'
```
Looks like `yaml.load(input)` was deprecated in 5.1: https://msg.pyyaml.org/load
`nixos-24.05` uses `6.0.1` so we're in the clear.
* autoPatchelfHook: add keep_libc flag
- Add keep_libc flag to disable the default libc handling. Intended
to be used by systemd.
- Add autoPatchelfFlags to autoPatchelfHook for passing arguments to
the autoPatchelf script
This reverts part of the change made in #307068 / 80be926.
Fixes#332533
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.

Place the VM disk image in a local directory "disk-image" instead of
"$out", so that we don't have to delete it to reserve "$out" for the
container image.
Deprecate singularity-tools.mkLayer and singularity-tools.shellScript,
for they are no longer related to image building.
Use writers.writeBash instead of singularity-tools.shellScript.
Allow users to pass arguments to `buildDotnetModule` in the form:
```nix
buildDotnetModule (finalAttrs: {
# Args
})
```
Exposing the behaviour of the underlying `mkDerivation` and allowing
packages to be defined in a recursive way that works correctly even when
the package is overridden, e.g. using `overrideAttrs`.
Added some simple test cases that piggyback on the existing
`structured-attrs` test.
*compressDrv* compresses files in a given derivation.
*compressDrvWeb* compresses a derivation for a loosely-defined
pre-compressed "web server" usage.
This intends to replace the `passthru.data-compressed` derivations that
have accumulated in nixpkgs with something more reusable.
The current error message is hard to debug because the error is in the

* streamLayeredImage: self-document the script
'podman load' doesn't let me override the name/tag from the image.
This name and tag is dynamic and in a CI environment so I would like to
be able to adjust the tag dynamically.
Since the image is streamed by stream_layered_image.py, there is no need
to stick with the nix-hardcoded image name/tag: the python script can
accept another name
I've added argparse to expose the feature. It has the added benefit of
adding `--help` support to the script, which makes its usage
self-explanatory.
* blackified file
'command -v builtin' returns 'builtin', which doesn't suit us since
we're looking for program in the given PATH. This could give us shebangs
like this:
#!builtin
which is surprising.
Switch to 'type -P command' which always returns a path, even if command
is both a builtin and an executable (for example 'test'), or fail is
'command' is just a builtin.
The docker-tools test, where this originates, was not run on aarch64-linux, but this is an artifact of its age more so than anything else.

This removes redundant inline docs, because
- users should consult the better docs in the manual,
- contributors should add to the manual, not the inline comments
Before this commit, `pkgs/build-support/cc-wrapper/add-flags.sh`
was using `-B@out@/bin` instead of `-B@bintools@/bin`
to force `cc` to use `ld-wrapper.sh` when calling `ld`.
That was confusing `cc` when asked to print
the location of a library precisely named `c++`
because `-B` prefixes are also used by `cc` to find libraries,
see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Directory-Options.html#index-B
Indeed, instead of having `cc --print-file-name c++`
failing to found a `c++` library and just returning the given `c++` string
to let a linker resolve it thereafter,
it was finding that `@out@/bin/c++` executable,
mistaking it for a library and returning its absolute path,
forcing the linker to load an executable as a library.

When the hash of an url being fetched does not match the expected value, this
commit will cause fetch-yarn-deps to include the url in the error message to
assist debugging.
When a dependency references a github *release* URL, that dependency must be
fetched using https rather than git, since github does not require that
release tarballs have any relationship whatsoever to the git history.
This commit causes them to be fetched using https, not git.
A test case (which fails prior to this commit, and passes afterwards) is included.
There's no point generating debug info if the compiler immediately
strips it before we get a chance to do anything with it.
This is especially important since Cargo 1.77, which asks rustc to
strip by default.
Updates tests for testers.testEqualContents with diffoscope and fixes
some bugs in tests (e.g. fileDiff always succeed because subshell does
not inherit errexit option).
Before this change, testers.testEqualContents implementation had several
bugs (e.g. executables at different paths were not considered equal). So
we switch to diffoscope that that is designed to handle exactly these
kinds of comparisons and gives more insights into the differences in the
output.
modules-closure.sh seems to consider everything under
/lib/firmware to be a kernel module,
this change adds a special handling of `edid` directory,
which does not contain kernel modules
fixes#279739
When the linker signs a Mach-O binary, it sets a flag in the signature’s code directory indicating that the signature was generated by a linker. Tools such as `strip` and `install_name_tool` read this flag and will
update ad hoc signatures after they perform their modifications.
The updated l64 supports signing binaries automatically. Both the updated cctools and LLVM will check for the linker-signed flag and resign binaries they modify automatically when it’s present. Given that, use of postLinkSignHook is unnecessary and potentially harmful.
In particular, if the hook is used and an unwrapped `strip` or `install_name_tool` is on the user’s path, they will not automatically update an ad hoc signature. Instead, they will issue a warning and create a binary with a broken signature.
It is more robust to let the tools handled this since the only time a signature would not be linker-signed is when the user is manually invoking `codesign` (or another tool such as `sigtool` or `rcodesign`), which by nature of the invocation updates the signature to a valid one.
Since `strip` no longer needs to be wrapped for code-signing, binutils-wrapper now uses the GNU strip wrapper on Darwin.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208951.
Darwin and its bootstrap tools both use LLVM 16, which is sufficient for
arm64e support in LLVM. Thsi change removes an unnecessary LLVM 13 build
from the stdenv bootstrap.
