Perl on darwin (and any other sane platform) has a pretty good threading
support, enable it.
As it turns out, we were building non-multithreaded perl on all systems,
since glibc was not part of the stdenv anymore:
nix-repl> pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}
nix-repl> pkgs.stdenv ? glibc
false
meaning that the comments were incorrect. Thus, clear up the confusion
and remove the misleading comments, while enabling multithreading by
default. The builds will fail on unsupported platforms, and in this case
the only place is the bootstrap, where we already force
non-multithreaded perl.
As a consequence of the above, this change will cause the full rebuild
of stdenv on all platforms, including linux.
The upstream repository has been archived, with a note that this should never be needed:
https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc
It also happens to have custom patch logic that will fail the newer cargo
verification in #79975
Changes the default fetcher in the Rust Platform to be the newer
`fetchCargoTarball`, and changes every application using the current default to
instead opt out.
This commit does not change any hashes or cause any rebuilds. Once integrated,
we will start deleting the opt-outs and recomputing hashes.
See #79975 for details.
One of the motivations for this change is the following Discourse
discussion:
https://discourse.dhall-lang.org/t/offline-use-of-prelude/137
Many users have requested Dhall support for "offline" packages
that can be fetched/built/installed using ordinary package
management tools (like Nix) instead of using Dhall's HTTP import system.
I will continue to use the term "offline" to mean Dhall package
builds that do not use Dhall's language support for HTTP imports (and
instead use the package manager's support for HTTP requests, such
as `pkgs.fetchFromGitHub`)
The goal of this change is to document what is the idiomatic way to
implement "offline" Dhall builds by implementing Nixpkgs support
for such builds. That way when other package management tools ask
me how to package Dhall with their tools I can refer them to how it
is done in Nixpkgs.
This change contains a fully "offline" build for the largest Dhall
package in existence, known as "dhall-packages" (not to be confused
with `dhallPackages`, which is our Nix attribute set containing
Dhall packages).
The trick to implementing offline builds in Dhall is to take
advantage of Dhall's support for semantic integrity checks. If an
HTTP import is protected by an integrity check and a cached build
product matches the integrity check then the HTTP import is never
resolved and the expression is instead fetched from cache.
By "installing" dependencies in a pre-seeded and isolated cache
we can replace remote HTTP imports with dependencies that have
been built and supplied by Nix instead.
The offline nature of the builds are enforced by compiling the
Haskell interpreter with the `-f-with-http` flag, which disables
the interpreter's support for HTTP imports. If a user forgets
to supply a necessary dependency as a Nix build product then the
build fails informing them that HTTP imports are disabled.
By default, built packages are "binary distributions", containing
just a cache product and a Dhall expression which can be used to
resolve the corresponding cache product.
Users can also optionally enable a "source distribution" of a package
which already includes the equivalent fully-evaluated Dhall code (for
convenience), but this is disabled by default to keep `/nix/store`
utilization as compact as possible.
dependencies:
- moarvm: init at 2020.01.1
- nqp: init at 2020.01
- zef: init 0.8.2
Replaced the rakudo-star distribution with packages for raku, moarvm, nqp and
zef.
According to https://endoflife.software/programming-languages/server-side-scripting/ruby
ruby 2.4 will go end-of-life in march, where the new release of nixpkgs
will be cut. We won't be able to support it for security updates.
Remove all references to ruby_2_4 and add ruby_2_7 instead where
missing.
Mark packages that depend on ruby 2.4 as broken:
* chefdk
* sonic-pi
