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 ensures that the builder isn't waiting forever if the Windows VM
drops dead while we're waiting for the controller VM to signal that a
particular command has been executed on the Windows VM. It won't ever
happen in such cases so it doesn't make sense to wait for the timeout.

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.

The gcc-wrapper doesn't wrap 'cpp'. This breaks some software (such as
Buildroot) because the 'cpp' they get come from the non-wrapped gcc

gcc-cross-wrapper is untested.
Both branches have quite a lot in common, so it's time for a merge and

As the official Cygwin setup binary download doesn't come in snapshots
or even versioned, the fetchurl of setup.exe will frequently fail, which
in turn will annoy us as hell (or at least me).
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 function is quite similar to runInLinuxVM, but also ensures that

We're now picking up the environment variables saved in the previous

Later, when we start the actual builder, we're going to restore those

These stages are in particular:

* Boot up the same VM again without the installation media and dump the

|__________________________|
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
urls based on the parent's origin. This patch adds support for
repositories which are using the relative url syntax.
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
systemPackages, only X would be available in the user environment. Y
would not be avialable, which causes X to be broken. This commit solves
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
nix-env -i. You will always have a fresh environment and you
don't have to pollute you profile with a lot of env packages.
The nix-prefect git script was broken when trying to parse certain
groups of submodules. This patch fixes the url detection for submodule

* 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.

1) Asymptote and EProver builds.
2) My XeLaTeX demo from configurations/ repository.
3) Some of my own files.

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.
