httpGate is a central element of the PicoLisp application server
architecture. Its purpose is to perform the following tasks:
* Provide a single application entry port (e.g. 80 or 443).
* Allow PicoLisp applications to run as non-root.
* Start application servers on demand.
* Handle HTTPS/SSL communication.
This is in preparation for adding Erlang/OTP 22 which no longer has a
`configure.in` and fails to build with the current
`generic-builder.nix`, but it should work for all supported, previous
versions of Erlang (R18–R21) as well.
Fixes#62775
Currently, trying to use help results in something like this:
```
: (help 'db)
========================================
w3m: Can't exec
=======================================
```
By including `w3m` as an input, the behaviour changes to:
```
: (help 'db)
========================================
(db 'sym 'cls ['hook] 'any ['sym 'any ..]) -> sym | NIL
Returns a database object of class cls, where the values for the sym arguments
correspond to the any arguments. If a matching object cannot be found, NIL is
returned. sym, cls and hook should specify a tree for cls or one of its
superclasses. See also aux, collect, request, fetch, init and step.
========================================
-> db
```
Summary of main changes:
- Now makes use of luarocks dependency resolution (builds will fail if
rockspec dependencies are unmet)
- Renamed argument `external_deps` -> `exernalDeps` and add
functionality to handle external dependencies that are multiple-output
derivations
- Added an `extraVariables` argument for appending to the contents of
luarocks config `variables` table
- The `rockspecFilename` argument default is now actually used
- The `disabled` argument can now be overriden with a less-restrictive
check, as it now just sets `meta.broken` instead of throwing an error
during eval
- The `doCheck` argument is now actually honored if set to `true`
A recent upgrade of cargo-vendor changed its output slightly, which
broke all cargoSha256 hashes in nixpkgs.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/60668 for more information.
Since then, a few hashes have been fixed in master by hand, but there
were a lot still to do, so I did all of the ones left over with some
scripts I wrote.
The one hash I wasn’t able to update was habitat's, because it’s
currently broken and the build doesn’t get far enough to produce a
hash anyway.
Some SSL libs don't react to $SSL_CERT_FILE.
That actually makes sense to me, as we add this behavior
as nixpkgs-specific, so it seems "safer" to use $NIX_*.
