We still need this because some clang-based packages depend on
it. (The sysroot filtering was originally done by clang-wrapper's
ld-wrapper, but we merged the ld-wrappers in

Fixes a regression on OS X introduced by f83af95.
Don't use --tmpdir for mktemp, because that flag doesn't exist on OS X.
However, using -t is deprecated in GNU coreutils, so as suggested by
@ip1981 we're now using parameter expansion on ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} to
provide /tmp as a fallback if TMPDIR is not set and use it instead.
Also use this approach for nix-prefetch-cvs now in order to stay
consistent.

For now, we don't NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR because it breaks the
build. However, it points to Glibc in the Nix store (not /usr/include)
so it's kind of okay.
Now gcc is just another build input, making it possible in the future
to have a stdenv that doesn't depend on a C compiler. This is very
useful on NixOS, since it would allow trivial builders like
writeTextFile to work without pulling in the C compiler.
If $src refers to a directory, then always copy it. Previously, we
checked the extension first, so if the directory had an extension like
.tar, unpackPhase would fail.
There was a few files containing timestamp, so we now remove them.
It shouldn't be a problem for logs. However, index might be. Anyway,
that's better than nothing.
Having a separate clang-wrapper is really unfortunate because it
means that we'll forever forget to apply changes to both (e.g.
commit 289895fe2c). This commit
gets rid of the redundant copies of ld-wrapper.sh and utils.sh.
Somewhere the no-sys-dirs.patch got disabled, so gcc was looking in
/usr/local/include and /usr/lib. Since I can't fix the patch easily,
I've borrowed the --sysroot trick from clang-wrapper. This causes
builtin paths to be prefixed with /var/empty
(e.g. /var/empty/usr/lib), which don't exist.
This updates the new stable kernel to 3.14, and the new testing kernel
to 3.15.
This also removes the vserver kernel, since it's probably not nearly as
used.

If the user explictly gives a ref such as "refs/heads/master", `git
rev-parse` failed because we only checked out the `fetchgit`
branch. Now, we also try `git rev-parse fetchgit` if the first call
fails, which fixes the issue.
HipChat (or rather its copy of Qt) expects to find keyboard data in
/usr/share/X11/xkb. So use a LD_PRELOAD library to intercept and
rewrite the Glibc calls that access those paths. We've been doing the
same thing with packages like Spotify, but now this functionality has
been abstracted into a reusable library, libredirect.so. It uses an
environment variable $NIX_REDIRECTS containing a colon-separated list
of path prefixes to be rewritten, e.g. "/foo=bar:/xyzzy=/fnord".
This now provides a handful of different grsecurity kernels for slightly

Conflicts (auto-solved):
pkgs/development/libraries/haskell/gitit/default.nix
1) Packages formerly called haskell-haskell-platform-ghcXYZ-VVVV.X.Y.Z are
now called haskell-platform-VVVV.X.Y.Z. The latest version can be
installed by running "nix-env -i haskell-platform".
2) The attributes haskellPackages_ghcXYZ.haskellPlatform no longer exist.
Instead, we have attributes like haskellPlatformPackages."2012_4_0_0".
(The last numeric bit must be quoted when used in a Nix file, but not on
the command line to nix-env, nix-build, etc.) The latest Platform has a
top-level alias called simply haskellPlatform.
3) The haskellPackages_ghcXYZ package sets offer the latest version of every
library that GHC x.y.z can compile. For example, if 2.7 is the latest
version of QuickCheck and if GHC 7.0.4 can compile that version, then
haskellPackages_ghc704.QuickCheck refers to version 2.7.
4) All intermediate GHC releases were dropped from all-packages.nix to
simplify our configuration. What remains is a haskellPackages_ghcXYZ set
for the latest version of every major release branch, i.e. GHC 6.10.4,
6.12.3, 7.0.4, 7.2.2, 7.4.2, 7.6.3, 7.8.2, and 7.9.x (HEAD snapshot).
5) The ghcXYZPrefs functions in haskell-defaults.nix now inherit overrides
from newer to older compilers, i.e. an override configured for GHC 7.0.4
will automatically apply to GHC 6.12.3 and 6.10.4, too. This change has
reduced the redundancy in those configuration functions. The downside is
that overriding an attribute for only one particular GHC version has become
more difficult. In practice, this case doesn't occur much, though.
6) The 'cabal' builder has a brand-new argument called 'extension'. That
function is "self : super : {}" by default and users can override it to
mess with the attribute set passed to cabal.mkDerivation. An example use
would be the definition of darcs in all-packages.nix:
| darcs = haskellPackages.darcs.override {
| cabal = haskellPackages.cabal.override {
| extension = self : super : {
| isLibrary = false;
| configureFlags = "-f-library " + super.configureFlags or "";
| };
| };
| };
In this case, extension disables building the library part of the package
to give us an executable-only version that has no dependencies on GHC or
any other Haskell packages.
The 'self' argument refers to the final version of the attribute set and
'super' refers to the original attribute set.
Note that ...
- Haskell Platform packages always provide the Haddock binary that came with
the compiler.
- Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 is broken because of build failures in cgi and
cabal-install.
- Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 is broken becasue of build failures in cgi.
This function downloads and unpacks a file in one fixed-output
derivation. This is primarily useful for dynamically generated zip
files, such as GitHub's /archive URLs, where the unpacked content of
the zip file doesn't change, but the zip file itself may (e.g. due to
minor changes in the compression algorithm, or changes in timestamps).
Fetchzip is implemented by extending fetchurl with a "postFetch" hook
that is executed after the file has been downloaded. This hook can
thus perform arbitrary checks or transformations on the downloaded
file.
This allows fonts to be installed from anywhere in an unzipped file
rather than having to cd deep into the directory and come back out in
order for e.g. `forceCopy` to work correctly.
This ensures that the intermediate machine is shut down only after the
migration has finished writing the memory dump to disk, to ensure we
don't end up with empty state files depending on how fast the migration
finished before we actually shut down the VM.

This hook allows to scatter files in $out to multiple outputs.
For "bin" and "doc" outputs there are prefefined default masks, but
they can be overriden by setting files_<outname>, for example:
files_bin = [ "/bin/*" "/lib/libexec/" ];
To make an effect hook must be specified in buildInputs.
These two expressions greatly simplify using the clang-analyzer or
Coverity static analyzer on your C/C++ projects. In fact, they are
identical to nixBuild in every way out of the box, and should 'Just
Work' providing your code can be compiled with Clang already.
The trick is that when running 'make', we actually just alias it to the
appropriate scan build tool, and add a post-build hook that will bundle
up the results appropriately and unalias it.
For Clang, we put the results in $out/analysis and add an 'analysis'
report to $out/nix-support/hydra-build-products pointing to the result
HTML - this means that if the analyzer finds any bugs, the HTML results
will automatically show up Hydra for easy viewing.
For Coverity, it's slightly different. Instead we run the build tool and
after we're done, we tar up the results in a format that Coverity Scan's
service understands. We put the tarball in $out/tarballs under the name
'foo-cov-int.xz' and add an entry for the file to hydra-build-products
as well for easy viewing.
Of course for Coverity you must then upload the build. A Hydra plugin to
do this is on the way, and it will automatically pick up the
cov-int.tar.xz for uploading.
Note that coverityAnalysis requires allowUnfree = true;, as well as the
cov-build tools, which you can download from https://scan.coverity.com -
they're not linked to your account or anything, it's just an annoying
registration wall.
Note this is a first draft. In particular, scan-build fixes the C/C++
compiler to be Clang, and it's perfectly reasonable to want to use Clang
for the analyzer but have scan-build invoke GCC instead.

This reverts commit a2a398fbda. The
issue *does* still exist in GHC 7.8.2. Compiled binaries have no -rpath
into their own install directory ("$out") and thus cannot find their own
shared libraries. To work around this issue, we pass an explicit -rpath
argument at configure time. We do that only on Linux, though, because
-rpath is known to cause trouble on Darwin, which was the reason I
originally reverted that patch.
This includes a lot of fixes for cross-building to Windows and Mac OS X
and could possibly fix things even for non-cross-builds, like for
example OpenSSL on Windows.
The main reason for merging this in 14.04 already is that we already
have runInWindowsVM in master and it doesn't work until we actually
cross-build Cygwin's setup binary as the upstream version is a fast
moving target which gets _overwritten_ on every new release.

As the official Cygwin setup binary download doesn't come in snapshots

One warning though: The fetchurl is currently broken and the cross-build
might not work yet for example on mingw32 (mingw-w64 branch on its way),
but the upstream URL has already changed and the new version contains a
bug (not yet tracked down) which breaks our Windows bootstrap process.
So to conclude: If it's already broken, make it at least "less broken".
"Not broken" is coming soon with the merge of the mingw-w64 branch.

This might look a bit overwhelming, but let me try to explain:
We're starting at the base derivation ("BOOTSTRAP" above), where we
actually install the Cygwin envirenment. Over there we basically fire up
a vde_switch process and two virtual machines: One is the Windows
machine, the other is a NixOS machine, which serves as some kind of
proxy between the host and the Windows machine.
The reason we're doing this, is because we don't have a lot of options
for sharing files between a stock Windows machine and the host. In
earlier experiments, I've tried to communicate with the Windows guest by
using pipes and OpenSSH, but obviously this wasn't a big speed rush (or
to say it bluntly: It was fucking slow).
Using TCP/IP directly for accessing the guest would have been another
option, but it could lead to possible errors when the port or a range of
ports are in use at the Host system. Also, we would need to punch a hole
into the sandbox of the Nix builder (as it doesn't allow networking),
which in turn will possibly undermine deterministic builds/runs (well,
at least as deterministic as it can be, we're running Windows,
remember?).
So, let's continue: The responsibility of the NixOS (controller) VM is
to just wait until an SSH port becomes available on the Windows VM,
whereas the Windows VM itself is installed using an unattended
installation file provided via a virtual floppy image.
With the installation of the basic Windows OS, we directly install
Cygwin and start up an OpenSSH service.
At this point the bootstrapping is almost finished and as soon as the
port is available, the controller VM sets up Samba shares and makes it
available as drive letters within Windows and as bind mounts (for
example /nix/store) within Cygwin.
Finally we're making a snapshot of the memory of the Windows VM in order
to revive it within a few seconds when we want to build something.
Now, the build process itself is fairly straightforward: Revive VM and
build based on existing store derivations and collect the result _and_
the exit code from the xchg share/directory.
Conclusion: This architecture may sound a bit complicated, but we're
trying to achieve deterministic and reproducable builds and/or test
runs.

Stdenv adapters are kinda weird and un-idiomatic (especially when they
don't actually change stdenv). It's more idiomatic to say
buildInputs = [ makeCoverageAnalysisReport ];
This is useful for non-Autoconf-based packages, since GNU Make's
default for CXX is "g++". (The CC default is "cc" so should work fine
with Clang already.)
Some packages in the llvm suite (e.g. compiler-rt) cannot be built
separate from the build of llvm, and while some others (e.g. clang) can
the combined build is much better tested (we've had to work around
annoying issues before). So this puts llvm, clang, clang-tools-extra,
compiler-rt, lld, lldb, and polly all into one big build (llvmFull).
This build includes a static llvm, as dynamic is similarly less tested
and has known failures.
This also updates libc++ and dragonegg. libc++ now builds against
libc++abi as a separate package rather than building it during the
libc++ build.
The clang purity patch is gone. Instead, we simply set --sysroot to
/var/empty for pure builds, as all impure paths are either looked up in
the gcc prefix (which we hard-code at compile time) or in the sysroot.
This also means that if NIX_ENFORCE_PURITY is 0 then clang will look in
the normal Linux paths by default, which is the proper behavior IMO.
polly required an updated isl. When stdenv-updates is merged, perhaps we
can update the isl used by gcc and avoid having two versions.
Since llvm on its own is now separate from the llvm used by clang, I've
removed myself as maintainer from llvm and will leave maintenance of
that to those who are interested in llvm separate from clang.

Install names need to be absolute paths, otherwise programs that link
against the dylib won't work without setting $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Most
packages do this correctly, but some (like Boost and ICU) do not.
This setup hook absolutizes all install names.
nix-prefetch-git does not convert relative submodule urls into absolute

All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH. Thus, you can say
buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];
and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.
Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html
The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent. (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)

This is necessary for some packages, like dns, because cabal warns about
multiple versions of the same dependency being used, but the usage is fine,
actually, so we want the build to succeed. Packages that depend on 'doctest'
also have this issue <https://github.com/sol/doctest-haskell/issues/69>.
Before this commit, if a haskell library X depends on Y, and X was added to

the issue by setting propagatedUserEnvPkgs to all packages X depends
on when X is a library.
This adds nix-run, which is a thin wrapper around nix-build.
nix-run calls nix-build, and then executes the resulting build.
If no executable artifact is built, nix-runs outputs an error
message.
myEnvRun calls myEnvFun and builds a script that directly runs
the load-env-* script.
Together, nix-run and myEnvRun allows you to set up an environment
that can be loaded in this way:
envs.nix:
{
gcc = myEnvRun {
name = "gcc";
buildInputs = [ gcc ];
};
}
$ nix-run -A gcc envs.nix
You end up directly in your environment without having to do

* There now is full support for building Haskell packages as shared libraries
for GHC versions 7.4.2 or later. The Cabal builder recognizes the following
attributes:
- enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries in
addition to static ones. This option requires that all dependencies of
the package have been compiled for use in shared libraries, too.
- enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
linking executables.
The default values for these attributes are arguments to the haskellPackages
expression.
* Haskell builds now run in a LANG="en_US.UTF-8" environment to avoid plenty
of build and test suite errors. Without this setting, GHC seems unable to
deal with the UTF-8 character encoding that's generally considered standard
in the Haskell world.
* The Cabal builder supports a new attribute 'testTarget' to specify the exact
set of tests to be run during the check phase.
* The ghc-wrapper attribute ghcVersion has been removed. Instead, we use the
ghc.version attribute, which exists in unwrapped GHC derivations, too.
The default target (i386-linux) causes flags like "-march i386" to be
added, which breaks on recent Fedora releases (18 and up), resulting
in errors like:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.7.2/../../../../include/c++/4.7.2/ext/atomicity.h:48: undefined reference to `__atomic_fetch_add_4'
So set the target to i686-linux.
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6567357
We cannot pass the --{enable,disable}-executable-dynamic flags to GHC
versions prior to 7.4.x.
Building shared libraries via --{enable,disable}-shared is possible in theory
with GHC 6.12.x or later, but doesn't work in practice because our GHC 6.10.x
builds don't provide shared versions of their base libraries. This could
probably be fixed, but it's probably not worth the effort.
enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries. This
option requires that all dependencies of the package have been compiled
for use in shared libraries, too.
enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
linking executables.
This patch partly fixes issue #1084.
Kept the old hacks where they don't break the build in case they things
they fix are still relevant.
I checked that the upgrade doesn't break:
1) Asymptote and EProver builds.
2) My XeLaTeX demo from configurations/ repository.
3) Some of my own files.
The upgrade fixes problems with simultaneous use of 3D and LaTeX labels
in Asymptote.
Please provide a test that worked previously and is broken now if you
need to revert this update or its parts.
The dns packages requires this feature, because it ships two test programs: one
of them requires network access (so we cannot run it), but the other test does
not. Setting testTarget appropriately allows us to run only one of the two
suites.
Haskell packages that contain non-ascii characters in their .cabal file
or somewhere else in their haddock documentation fail to compile under
nixpkgs and usually flagged with noHaddock = true. I wanted to do the
same for modularArithmentic, when I realized that we just have to set
the locale to some UTF-8 compatible locale in build-support/cabal to fix
this issue correctly.
Wheezy has been released on June 15th and on all mirrors the SHA256 hash
of Packages.bz2 has changed to reflect the new release, so let's update.
Here is the release announcement from Debian:
http://www.debian.org/News/2013/20130615
It also seems that the versioning scheme has changed in version 7.x, so
they seem to have switched to a two digit versioning scheme. This means,
that the attribute name "debian70..." should really be something like
"debian7...", but I'm keeping the attribute as-is to not break
references.

9p (with caching enabled) is much faster than CIFS and doesn't require
Samba or virtual networking. For instance, building GNU Hello with
CIFS takes ~323s on my laptop, but with 9p it takes 54s.
More measurements will be needed to see if "cache=fscache" is really
faster than "cache=loose" (the former seems to be a little bit
faster).
This only ever worked because runInLinuxVM happened to call
overrideDerivation, which itself erroneously passed arbitrarily-added
attributes to the new call to derivation.

The wrapper script accumulated some cruft over the last couple of months
because we did changes in freaky ways to avoid triggering re-builds of all
Haskell packages. Most of these kludges have been thrown out now.
This patch doesn't change the behavior of the wrapper except for one thing: the
internal helper scripts "ghc-get-packages.sh" and "ghc-packages.sh" are no
longer installed in the bin directory of the generated derivation.
The previous implementation used the following tying-the-knot trickery to
override 'doCheck' to false for the given build:
cabalNoTest = {
mkDerivation = x: rec {
final = self.cabal.mkDerivation (self: (x final) // { doCheck = false; });
}.final;
};
That seemed to work, but for some reason it caused trouble with some builds --
not all -- that use jailbreakCabal. The problem was the 'stdenv' attribute
couldn't be evaluated properly anymore:

infinite recursion encountered
I tried to figure out why this happens, but eventually gave up. The new
implementation passes an argument called 'enableCheckPhase' to the Cabal
builder, which determines whether the user-specified doCheck value has any
effect or not. Now, a normal override can be used to disable unit testing.
It's quite amazing that we've managed to pass incorrectly spelled command line
flags to Cabal for ages without ever noticing. :-)
The search path options --extra-{include,lib}-dirs are usually unnecessary,
because the build environment is set up such that gcc and ld find those headers
and libraries automatically, i.e. without needing extra flags. The bubble burst
on MacOS X, though, where the build of haskell-text-icu couldn't find the icu
library without manually setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in that build. Fortunately,
cabal takes care of that issue if a correctly spelled --extra-lib-dirs flag is
passed.
- The option for cloning in nix-prefetch-bzr is removed
- ssl certificates are now ignored by fetchbzr
This means that no .bzr directory is downloaded. Without this change, the
hash of the result is unpredictable, probably because of timestamping in the
.bzr directory.
Currently, the only package using fetchbzr is kicad.
There are some SVN repositories out there which don't have revision information
tied to externals. By using ignoreExternals, fetchsvn won't fetch these
externals anymore, so the fetch won't fail with a checksum mismatch, should
there be some changes in some of those external repositories.

An aggregate is a trivial build that depends on other builds. This is
intended to provide a declarative replacement of Hydra's "view"
mechanism.
For instance, you can define an aggregate named "critical" that
depends on a selected set of jobs:
critical = releaseTools.aggregate
{ name = "foo-${tarball.version}";
members =
[ tarball
build.x86_64-linux
...
];
meta.description = "Release-critical builds";
};
The "critical" build will only succeed if all its members
(dependencies) succeed.

This branch refactors xfce and updates it to 4.10. I had been hoping to
find someone besides Vlada to test this (I don't use xfce), but no one
has come forward yet in 2 weeks so if this breaks something they can
make an issue or fix it. It all looks good by inspection.
According to <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4013>, this

This means that Mac users will have considerably larger binaries because
some build-time dependencies (such as HTTP) will be mis-detected as
run-time dependencies.
In the master branch, doCheck defaults to 'false', which means that no package
will change its hash unless its doCheck field is set to 'true' explicitly. In
the stdenv-updates branch, however, all Haskell packages have a default setting
of 'doCheck=true'. Once that branch has been merged, filtering doCheck is no
longer necessary.

This patch configures all Cabal builds with '--enable-split-objs' unless the
Nix expression explicitly sets "enableSplitObjs = false". The Cabal manual [1]
describes this option as follows:
| The GHC -split-objs reduces the final size of the executables that use the
| library by allowing them to link with only the bits that they use rather
| than the entire library. The downside is that building the library takes
| longer and uses considerably more memory.
One immediate benefit of this change is that the 'darcs' closure defined in the
top-level no longer refers to GHC. The same is probably true with other
executable packages.

The use case is to do a deep replacement of a dependency without rebuilding the entire tree.
For example, suppose a security hole is found in glibc and a patch released. Ideally, you'd
just rebuild everything, but that takes time, space, and CPU that you might not have, so in
the mean time you could build a safe version of, say, firefox with:
firefox-safe = replace-dependency { drv = firefox; old-dependency = glibc; new-dependency = patched-glibc; };
Building firefox-safe will rebuild glibc, but only do a simple copy/string replacement on all other dependencies
of firefox. On my system (MBP 13" mid-2012), after a new glibc had been build building firefox took around 11 seconds.

The 4.7 had some weird parameters added in crossAttrs; I've removed

This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
Added support code for comfortable writing of upstream data update
expressions that do not require change of layout of the updated
expressions (although they make assumptions about single assignment per
line). Also added a default for choosing file to update (it is supposed
to be default.nix in the same directory) and a one-liner for typical
sourceforge redirects (and sourceforge mirror:// handling).
Replacing SBCL upstream tracking expression with a new version in a new
format.
Minuses: gave up on defining everything in Nix language (now update
expression is a series of actions to do when downloading fresh release,
it is actually interpreted by shell), now Nix expression contains
meaningful whitespace (the area to regenerate is determined by the
line with a specific comment and the closing brace on the otherwise
empty line).
Plusses: only one extra file which could even be moved out-of-tree if
desired, clean semantics for traversing multiple links (it is not found
in either Debian uscan or Gentoo euscan), the main expression is in one
file and is less different from usual style.
Jailbreaks-cabal allows Nixpkgs maintainers to quick-fix builds of packages
that over-specify their version requirements by removing the version
restrictions of all dependencies from the Cabal file. Set
jailbreak = true
in the build expression to activate this feature.
This feature sounds crazy, but it is used in some configure scripts (e.g. xbmc).
This patch causes an almost complete rebuild of Nixpkgs.
