Currently `buildPerlPackage` prefixes the Perl version to the package's
`pname`, which results in `nix run` not being able to work for any
packages build with it out of the box. This commit corrects that and
phases out the ability to set `name` directly, as well as refactors the
code to not require `cleanedAttrs`.
The example snippet will fail with this error as it is not self contained and
assumes `shadowSetup` was given:
$ nix-build docker-image.nix
error: undefined variable 'shadowSetup' at docker-image.nix:20:7
Instead use the full reference to `shadowSetup` in the example so it will work
as stated.
This commit clarifies that the meaning of the `meta.sourceProvenance`
field is independent of and unaffected by the value of the
`meta.license` field. This is based on the intent of the RFC author
as expressed here:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161098#issuecomment-1081270201
This clarification is added for two reasons:
1. If in the future there should be some disagreement about what
`sourceProvenance` to assign to a package, this may help resolve
the disagreement. Any interpretation of `sourceProvenance` which
is influenced by the `meta.license` is clearly an incorrect
interpretation.
2. If it should turn out that it is impossible to disentangle
`sourceProvenance` from `meta.license`, this would indicate the
need for changes to the `sourceProvenance` scheme. That change
might be as simple as replacing the sentence added by this commit
with some other sentence explaining how the two fields influence
each other.
This commit implements the recommendation made in the paragraph of
this comments which begins with "Please say this explicitly...":

- put `findlib` in `buildInputs` of `mkCoqDerivation` to make sure `coq` packages find their ocaml plugin dependencies,
- use `propagatedBuildInputs` to make sure ocaml plugin dependencies are in path,
- updated `coqPackage.heq` (broken url),
- fixed use of `DESTDIR` and `COQMF_COQLIB` in mkCoqDerivation,
- adding `COQCORELIB` environement variable to put ocaml plugin files in the right place,
- make `metaFetch` available from `coqPackages`
- use propagatedBuildInputs to make sure ocaml plugin stuff is in path
- updated coqPackage.heq (broken url)
- fixed use of `DESTDIR` and `COQMF_COQLIB` in mkCoqDerivation
- adding `COQCORELIB` environement variable to put ocaml plugin files in the right place
- make metaFetch available from `coqPackages`
this is not an actual sync, but rather the manual taking the leading role.
right now it does not make sense to actually change `patch-shebangs.sh`
as that would cause a rebuild of the entire universe.
we should figure out how to keep them aligned with minimal effort both
in terms of maintenance as well as navigation for readers.
There are many different versions of the `cudatoolkit` and related
cuda packages, and it can be tricky to ensure they remain compatible.
- `cudaPackages` is now a package set with `cudatoolkit`, `cudnn`, `cutensor`, `nccl`, as well as `cudatoolkit` split into smaller packages ("redist");
- expressions should now use `cudaPackages` as parameter instead of the individual cuda packages;
- `makeScope` is now used, so it is possible to use `.overrideScope'` to set e.g. a different `cudnn` version;
- `release-cuda.nix` is introduced to easily evaluate cuda packages using hydra.
This commit describes the "->" notation for dependency types in
greater detail, and uses g++ to provide examples of all six cases
(although the host->target and target->target examples are a bit
artificial).
It also adds three more rows to the table for the "->*" dependency
types for non-compiler-like packages; these dependency types were
already present in the documentation but the "*" was not really
explained.
Lastly, this commit adds a hyperlink to the table from the place where
it is mentioned in the "specifying dependencies" chapter.
Allows restricting patches to a specific subdirectory, à la
`git diff --relative=subdir`.
This cannot be done (cleanly) currently because the `includes` logic
happens *after* `stripLen` is applied, so we can't match on `subdir/*`.
This change adds a `relative` argument that makes this possible by
filtering files before doing any processing, and setting `stripLen` and
`extraPrefix` accordingly.
The current wrapper only includes vim, gvim and the man pages
(optionally). This rewrite distinguishes two scenarios, which I expect
cover the majority of use cases:
- standalone mode, when `name != "vim"`, means the user already has a
vim in scope and only wants to add a customized version with a
different name. In this case we only include wrappers for `/bin/*vim`.
- non-standalone mode, when `name == "vim"`, means the user expects a
normal vim package that uses the specified configuration. In this case
we include everything in the original derivation, with wrappers for
all the executables that accept a vimrc.
types.optionSet has been deprecated for almost 10 years now
(0e333688ce)! A removal
was already attempted in 2019
(27982b408e), but it was promptly
reinstantiated since some third-party uses were discovered
(f531ce75e4).
It's finally time to remove it for good :)
