This allows for adding new, conditionally set, derivation attributes
to an existing derivation without changing any output paths in the
case where the condition is not met.
This seems like a pretty easy-to-fix oversight, and it documents the
getExe function, which I never knew about until one day I saw a PR
using it. Let's include it in the manual.
separating function docs out like this makes it less clear how library
documentation is generated and integrated into the build. if in the
future more parts of nixpkgs use nixdoc it will make sense to have all
information about library doc generation in the same place.
all xml-related tooling can go away. shell.nix is no longer useful since
the makefile is gone and the build runs entirely via a derivation, and
gitignore is thus also no longer that useful. it may filter out some
swap files, but its main reason to exist (keeping generated files out of
a concurrent build of the derivation) has gone away.
also updates nixdoc to 2.3.0. the nixdoc update is not a separate commit
because that would leave the manual build broken for one commit,
potentially breaking bisects and rebases.
* doc/default.nix: make the manual build on more than one core
Let's build the manual with more than one core. Maybe people will take better care of it now that it is less painful to build.
Running `make -C doc` to build the manual locally leaves .xml artifacts
in the tree. These are ignored by git, but they still get included in
the build when not using flakes, which causes the corresponding chapters
not to be built.
Move the manpage-to-URL mapping to `doc/manpage-urls.json` so that we can
reuse that file elsewhere, and generate the `link-manpages.lua` filter from
that file.
Also modify the Pandoc filter so that it doesn't wrap manpages that are
already inside a link.
Keeping a Lua filter is essential for speed: a Python filter would
increase the runtime `md-to-db.sh` from ~20s to ~30s (but Python is not
to blame; marshalling Pandoc types to and from JSON is a costly operation).
Parsing in Lua seems tedious, so I went with the Nix way.
Otherwise, running "nix-build" in the doc directory would create a
result symlink, so running "nix-build" again would produce a different
derivation, and so on forever, because the result symlink would keep
changing and wasn't ignored.
Modifies the build process of the manual to invoke nixdoc
automatically to generate XML files with function documentation.
Currently documentation is present for five of the files in `lib/`.
To add another file to the generated docs, both
`doc/functions/library.xml` and `doc/lib-function-docs.nix` must be
updated.
Hydra passes the full revision in to the input, which we pass through.
If we don't get this ,we try to get it from other sources, or default to
master which should have the definition in a close-ish location.
All published docs should have theURL resolve properly, only local
hackers will have the link break.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745
the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to
`nixos/version` which implicates the following changes:
* `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release`
* `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix`
* `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version`
As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`,
`NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause
a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with
a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
* trying to build emscriptenPackages not all fail
* reading the console.log it turns out python executable is not in place and that is why emconfigure didnt work
* backup commit
* much more targets are compiling now
* added common revisioning
* revision bump to 1.37.36 (not tested)
* fixed xmllint
* forcing unit testing, will implement the tests after i get home
* json_c test working
* added tests
* tiny fixes
* added documentation
Improve beam docs:
* correct spelling
* update per pandoc changes
* capitalize titles
* capitalize BEAM throughout and use "the BEAM" when referring to the virtual machine.
* tweak grammar and phrasing
* reformat build-tools-rebar3 section
* add more links
* re-wrap <para>s
Also update <programlisting>s
* normalize whitespace
* don't double quote homepage
* use $ in all shell snippets
