The current behaviour for generate-r-packages.R is to delete
packages that have been remove upstream. This patch changes the
behaviour to mark packages as broken rather than removing them.
This has the advantage of never breaking expressions, which
previously occured when a package with overrides in default.nix
was deleted. As a result, the update procedure is simplified,
allowing automated updates to the package tree to run, and
additionally if a package is re-established upstream the previous
overrides still exist.
Add an explicit dependency on netbase for /etc/protocols
Certain functions in glibc look for files present in /etc such as getprotobyname which reads /etc/protocols.
If you are using Nix over a Linux installation, this file may not be present, and therefore it will cause errors.
- add netbase as a new package in nixpks
- add a dependency in glibc on it using postPatchPhase and substitute
the path
Fixes#124401
- Reuse build phase from the `buildDunePackage` function.
- Only install the package that was just built (useful for monorepo support).
- Introduces `opam-name` to override the default package name to build with Dune.
Trying to reuse the update scripts used by kakoune/vim to provide the
user with an unified convergence. Some stuff doesn't work yet (parallel
download, caching) but I (anyone else welcome to try too) will improve
it in other PRs.
Simpler method of setting tags rather than using some combination of buildFlags, buildFlagsArray, preBuild, etc
Using `lib.concatStringsSep ","` as space separated tags are deprecated in go.
3s is too small a margin for a loaded slow system to start a bloated
program.
This leads to problems when tests are written on decent dev hardware
but later run on build farms of potentially slower hardware,
particularly in the case of non x86.
The chance of needing the timeout is actually very small, so those
rare 57s are a reasonable price to pay for fewer timeouts on build
farms, each of which should be investigated and usually fixed by
increasing the timeout.
This confused the hell out of me, as I didn't spot the
> The following flags are disabled by default ...
when reading about `pie`, because that sentence was hidden in the
previous hardening flag's section.
Also explain that `pie` hardening is on by default on musl.
pkgs.steam-run-native is defined as exactly the expression that
these instructions tell you to write, so the instruction is no
longer necessary since we can just tell you to use that.
The current example in the manual no longer builds, mainly because
`useDune2 = true` is required, but also because the inputs have changed.
The new examples are copied verbatim from nixpkgs.
With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package
that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared,
without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_
in pkgs/top-level/static.nix.
It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if
we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions
themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix. This
is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require
multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv
options.
So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described
above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv
option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags. With this mechanism, a package
that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set
dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually
based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic.
The attributes got renamed in PR #126440 and in some places this caused
evaluation errors, e.g. the tarball job was saying (locally)
> attribute 'alsaUtils' missing, at /build/source/nixos/modules/services/audio/alsa.nix:6:4
and I suspect that trunk-combined jobset's failure to evaluate was also caused.
We were using Pandoc’s Markdown parser. This is non-standard and might cause issues when we finally switch to some other tool.
Since RFC 0072 agreed on CommonMark, let’s switch to that.
We will use some extensions to make the limited syntax bearable but these are official so they should be more portable.
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.
Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist
While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.
The patch utility does not understand git formatted patches.
For text files, there is no problem, but binary files use the
git format.
The -a param makes git diff put binary files into the patch in
raw format that can be understood by the patch tool.
Previously it was not possible to define multiple ldflags, since only
the last definition applies, and there's some quoting issues with
`buildFlagsArray`. With the new `ldflags` argument it's possible to do
this, e.g.
ldflags = drv.ldflags or [] ++ [
"-X main.Version=1.0"
]
can now properly append a flag without clearing all previous ldflags.
This change introduces the cargoLock argument to buildRustPackage,
which can be used in place of cargo{Sha256,Hash} or cargoVendorDir. It
uses the importCargoLock function to build the vendor
directory. Differences compared to cargo{Sha256,Hash}:
- Requires a Cargo.lock file.
- Does not require a Cargo hash.
- Retrieves all dependencies as fixed-output derivations.
This makes buildRustPackage much easier to use as part of a Rust
project, since it does not require updating cargo{Sha256,Hash} for
every change to the lock file.
This function can be used to create an output path that is a cargo
vendor directory. In contrast to e.g. fetchCargoTarball all the
dependent crates are fetched using fixed-output derivations. The
hashes for the fixed-output derivations are gathered from the
Cargo.lock file.
Usage is very simple, e.g.:
importCargoLock {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
}
would use the lockfile from the current directory.
The implementation of this function is based on Eelco Dolstra's
import-cargo:
https://github.com/edolstra/import-cargo/blob/master/flake.nix
Compared to upstream:
- We use fetchgit in place of builtins.fetchGit.
- Sync to current cargo vendoring.
To me, as a native English speaker, this doesn't change the meaning of
the sentence at all. But to a non-native speaker, this can read like
the staging-next rules are only recommendations. Let's make this
clearer.
This will ensure the sections have stable links as well as prevent conflicts (pandoc uses heading text for ids and DocBook requires unique ids across the book).
