The comment at the top of git-and-tools/default.nix said:
/* All git-relates tools live here, in a separate attribute set so that users
* can get a fast overview over what's available.
but unfortunately that hasn't actually held up in practice.
Git-related packages have continued to be added to the top level, or
into gitAndTools, or sometimes both, basically at random, so having
gitAndTools is just confusing. In fact, until I looked as part of
working on getting rid of gitAndTools, one program (ydiff) was
packaged twice independently, once in gitAndTools and once at the top
level (I fixed this in 98c3490196).
So I think it's for the best if we move away from gitAndTools, and
just put all the packages it previously contained at the top level.
I've implemented this here by just making gitAndTools an alias for the
top level -- this saves having loads of lines in aliases.nix. This
means that people can keep referring to gitAndTools in their
configuration, but it won't be allowed to be used within Nixpkgs, and
it won't be presented to new users by e.g. nix search.
The only other change here that I'm aware of is that
appendToName "minimal" is not longer called on the default git
package, because doing that would have necessitated having a private
gitBase variable like before. I think it makes more sense not to do
that anyway, and reserve the "minimal" suffix only for gitMinimal.
This makes it much easier to create customisations around emacs via
the a new convenience passthru attr:
- `emacs.pkgs`: What used to be emacsPackages is now `emacs.pkgs`
The previous versioned names `emacs*Packages` have been moved to
aliases.nix and are now considered deprecated in favour of `emacs*.pkgs`.
Updates calibre version to 5.9.0 by pinning the Python version to 3.
Calibre upgraded to Python 3 since the 5.0 release.
Adds aliases for removed packages.
Fixes#106256.
For in NixOS it is beneficial if both plasma5 and pam use the same Qt5
version. Because the plasma5 desktop may use a different version as the
default Qt5 version, we introduce plasma5Packages.
Starting from Linx 5.6, there is partial upstream support for the Multipath TCP
protocol. There are no downsides to enabling it afaict, since
applications need to opt-in when creating a socket.
From https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/wiki:
"[...] users of regular TCP continue to get the same type of connection and
performance unless MPTCP is requested."
These packages were duplicated, and often weren't being updated in sync.
The only difference between them was the lack of pkg-config in
libraspberrypi, which is easily fixable.
Write (similar) expressions for GNURadio 3.7 and 3.8 and make 3.8
available as `gnuradio`, and `gnuradio3_7` point to the 3.7 build.
Teach both 3.7 & 3.8 expressions accept a `features` attribute set, that
tells them what features to compile. There are dependencies within the
different features, and we rely on upstream's cmake scripts to make sure
the `configurePhase` will fail if a feature is not enabled and needed by
another feature. All features are enabled by default.
Put shared Nix functions and attributes for both 3.7 and 3.8 in:
pkgs/applications/radio/gnuradio/shared.nix
Add 2 patches accepted upstream, that don't install some python related
examples if python-support is not enabled.
Remove cmake python reference in 3.8 with removeReferencesTo, if
python-support is turned off.
Update gqrx (reverse dependency) to use a build of gnuradio3_7 without
gui components and for it's gr-osmosdr as well.
Write an external, `wrapper.nix` (shared for both 3.7 and 3.8). Teach it
to handle extra `gr-` packages via `GRC_BLOCKS_PATH`. Likely enable it
to accept extra python packages. Wrap the executables with env vars
wrapGAppsHook and wrapQtAppsHook would have likely given them (hence,
fix#87510). Point `gnuradio` to the wrapped 3.8 derivation.
Add @doronbehar to maintainers of both 3.8 and 3.7.
dirty: use upstreamed patches
