near the end of 2019, the default Cargo.lock format was changed to
[[package]]
checksum = ...
This is what importCargoLock assumes. If the crate had not been `cargo
update`'d with a more recent toolchain than the one with the new
format as default, importCargoLock would fail when trying to access
pkg.checksum.
I ran into such a case (shamefully, in my own crate) and it took me a
while to figure out what was going on, so here is an assert with a
more user friendly message and a hint.
It's hugely inefficient as we can't use shallow cloning (--depth=1).
This has been tested and adapted for quite a few hosts fetchgit is used on in
Nixpkgs. For those where fetching the hash directly doesn't work (most notably
git.savannah.gnu.org), we simply fall back to the old method.
According to rustc implementation[1], `-C incremental=no` enables
incremental builds with directory name `no`. This patch removes the
`-C incremental` argument to disable incremental builds.

I think this is due an update. I've chosen to update to the latest
version that has been merged into Melpa.
Unfortunately we now need to hack around it trying to run VCS
commands.
My Emacs configuration with thirty-something leaf packages seems fine
after the rebuild.
skopeo will disable the progress bar if it detects that stdout isn't a
TTY - in order to make it think that stdout _isn't_ a TTY and therefore
avoid it printing a lot of "…" on separate lines, we pipe the output
through cat.
This changes the output from:

to the eminently more useful and less spammy:

Storing signatures
Before this change, it was not possible to use string paths,
because then the `types.str.check` would succeed. So the only paths that
could be used were ones from the local filesystem via e.g.
`./some/path`.
We can easily fix this by using `types.path.check` instead to determine
whether we are dealing with a path.
This notably also allows using Nix-fetched sources as the content, e.g.
`fetchFromGitHub { ... } + "/some/file"`
This fixes#126344, specifically with the goal of enabling overriding the
checkPhase argument. See `design notes` at the end for details.
This allows among other things, enabling bash extension for the `checkPhase`.
Previously using such bash extensions was prohibited by the `writeShellScript`
code because there was no way to enable the extension in the checker.
As an example:
```nix
(writeShellScript "foo" ''
shopt -s extglob
echo @(foo|bar)
'').overrideAttrs (old: {
checkPhase = ''
# use subshell to preserve outer environment
(
export BASHOPTS
shopt -s extglob
${old.checkPhase}
)
'';
})
```
This commit also adds tests for this feature to `pkgs/tests/default.nix`,
under `trivial-overriding`. The test code is located at
`pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders/test-overriding.nix`.
Design notes:
-------------
Per discussion with @sternenseemann, the original approach of just wrapping
`writeTextFile` in `makeOverridable` had the issue that combined with `callPackage`
in the following form, would shadow the `.override` attribute of the `writeTextFile`:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs>;
callPackage ({writeShellScript}: writeShellScript "foo" "echo foo")
```
A better approach can be seen in this commit, where `checkPhase` is moved
from an argument of `writeTextFile`, which is substituted into `buildCommand`,
into an `mkDerivation` argument, which is substituted from the environment
and `eval`-ed. (see the source)
This way we can simple use `.overideAttrs` as usual, and this also makes
`checkPhase` a bit more conformant to `mkDerivation` naming, with respect to
phases generally being overridable attrs.
