By setting useRealVendorConfig explicitly to true, the actual (slightly
modified) config generated by cargo-vendor is used.
This solves a problem, where the static vendor config in
pkgs/build-support/rust/default.nix would not sufficiently replace all
crates Cargo is looking for.
As useRealVendorConfig (and writeVendorConfig in fetchcargo) default to
false, there should be no breakage in existing cargoSha256 hashes.
Nethertheless, imho using this new feature should become standard. A
possible deprecation path could be:
- introduce this patch
- set useRealVendorConfig explicitly to false whereever cargoSha256 is
set but migration is not wanted yet.
- after some time, let writeVendorConfig default to true
- when useRealVendorConfig is true everywhere cargoSha256 is set and
enough time is passed, `assert cargoVendorDir == null ->
useRealVendorConfig;`, remove old behaviour
- after some time, remove all appearences of useRealVendorConfig and the
parameter itself
This aims to make the `weechat` package even more configurable. It
allows to specify scripts and commands using the `configure` function
inside a `weechat.override` expression.
The package can be configured like this:
```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
weechat.override {
plugins = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
plugins = builtins.attrValues availablePlugins;
init = ''
/set foo bar
/server add freenode chat.freenode.org
'';
scripts = [ "/path/to/script.py" ];
};
}
```
All commands are passed to `weechat --run-command "/set foo bar;/server ..."`.
The `plugins' attribute is not necessarily required anymore, if it's
sufficient to add `init' commands, the `plugins' will be
`builtins.attrValues availablePlugins' by default.
Additionally the result contains `weechat` and `weechat-headless`
(introduced in WeeChat 2.1) now.
I don't know when we can/should remove them, but this at least gets
people to stop using them. The preferred alternatives also date back to
17.09 so writing forward-compatable code without extra conditions is
easy.
Beginning with these as they are the least controversial.
Since #44522 it's possible to specify custom certificates for the Citrix
receiver. As it took me some time to create a proper setup Citrix can
behave fairly unexpected.
I mostly covered two aspects:
* Don't install Citrix with `nix run`: when `citrix.desktop` is linked
to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, it's possible to start a session directly from the
browser when loading `.ica` files which makes the usage *way* easier.
* It's possible to add custom certificates using the Citrix wrapper. A
new store path with the original derivation and the certificates will be
created and therefore no rebuild of the package is needed when adding
new certs.
The server is not verified over the git:// transfer protocol. If you
clone a repository over git://, you should check if the latest commit's
hash is correct.
On the other hand, https:// will always verify the server automatically,
using certificate authorities.
Use example package `zerobin` instead of `bepasty-server` which
is no longer part of python-packages.
This fixes the examples for current nixpkgs versions.
1. Use the same approach like in the overlay example:
Override `python` instead of `pythonPackages` so that
`python.pkgs` refers to the new package set like `pythonPackages`.
This also fixes a bug in the original example where
`pkgs.fetchgit` was not in scope.
Add an extra example to illustrate how to override just a
package set.
2. Fix mix-up between `super` and `self` in the explanation text.
Also, simplify the explanation.
