As @lopsided98 points out in #105305, since the hashes are now target
sensative, and until we find reason to actually care to test what they
are exactly, we are best just normalizing them away in the tests.
- Generate a link to the initramfs file with an appropriate file
extension, guessed based on the compressor by default
- Use correct metadata in u-boot images if generated, up to now this
was hardcoded to gzip and would silently generate an erroneous image
if another compressor was specified
- Document all the parameters
- Improve cross-building compatibility, by allowing passing either a
string as before, or a function taking a package set and returning the
path to a compressor in the "compressor" argument of the
function.
- Support more compression algorithms
- Place compressor executable function and arguments in passthru, for
reuse when appending initramfses

Originally this was meant to support other Windows versions than just
Windows XP, but before I actually got a chance to implement this I left
the project that I implemented this for.
The code has been broken for years now and I highly doubt anyone is
interested in resurrecting this (including me), so in order to make this
less of a maintenance burden for everybody, let's remove it.

Docker (via containerd) and the the OCI Image Configuration imply and
suggest, respectfully, that the architecture set in images matches those
of GOARCH in the Go Language document.
This changeset updates the implimentation of getArch in dockerTools to
return GOARCH values, to satisfy Docker.
Fixes: #106695
If I'm running an Emacs executable from emacsWithPackages as my main
programming environment, and I'm hacking on Emacs, or the Emacs
packaging in Nixpkgs, or whatever, I don't want the Emacs packages
from the wrapper to show up in the load path of that child Emacs. It
results in differing behaviour depending on whether the child Emacs is
run from Emacs or from, for example, an external terminal emulator,
which is very surprising.
To avoid this, pass another environment variable containing the
wrapper site-lisp path, and use that value to remove the corresponding
entry in EMACSLOADPATH, so it won't be propagated to child Emacsen.
An empty entry in EMACSLOADPATH gets filled with the default value.
This is presumably why the wrapper inserted a colon after the entry it
added for the dependencies. But this naive approach wasn't always
correct.
For example, if the user ran emacs with EMACSLOADPATH=foo, the wrapper
would insert the default value (by adding the trailing `:') even
though the user was trying to expressly opt out of it.
To do this correctly, here I've replaced makeWrapper with a bespoke
script that will actually parse the EMACSLOADPATH provided in the
environment (if given), and insert the wrapper's load path just before
the default value. If EMACSLOADPATH is given but contains no default
value, we respect that and don't add the wrapped dependencies at all.
If no EMACSLOADPATH is given, we insert the wrapped dependencies
before the default value, just like before. In this way, the wrapped
Emacs should now behave as if the wrapped dependencies were part of
Emacs's default load-path value.
Previously, meta wasn't being passed through at all, because it's
removed from args without being used anywhere. This made it so that
rcirc-menu wasn't being marked as broken even though it was supposed
to be.
This patch copies the meta handling from melpaBuild, including the
default home page (adapted for ELPA).
Use "find -exec" to strip rather than "find … | xargs …". The former
ensures that stripping is attempted for each file, whereas the latter
will stop stripping at the first failure. Unstripped files can fool
runtime dependency detection and bloat closure sizes.
There are a few operations in this library that naively runs on every
iteration while they could be cached.
For a simple test repository with a small number of files and ~1000
gitignore patterns this brings memory usage down from ~233M to ~157M
and wall time from 2.6s down to 0.78s.
This should scale similarly with the number of files in a repository.
For example graphviz has chained symlinked manpages: dot2gxl.1 is
a symlink to gv2gxl.1 which is a symlink to gxl2gv.1
The second loop replaces each non-compressed symlink to a compressed
symlink. The target is determined with 'readlink -f', which follows
links recursively until the first name that is not a link (so either
the 'target name' or the first 'dangling' symlink).
This means that if the loop converted dot2gxl.1 before converting
gv2gxl.1 it would add a symlink `dot2gxl.1.gz->gxl2gv.1.gz`. When
it converted gv2gxl.1 first, it would then add a
`dot2gxl.1.gz->gv2gxl.1.gz` symlink.
Both are 'correct', but it's weird the result depends on the order
in which 'find' returns the files. This PR makes the behaviour
deterministic.
fixes #104708
This is a workaround for NixOS/nix#4295, which caused single-user Linux
Nix installations using sandboxed builds to start failing to build
fetchzip derivations after 4a5c49363a.
In short: removing write permissions for the entire directory is great,
except we then can't rename(2) it to the final Nix store path out of the
sandbox, because we don't have write permission on the directory and
thus cannot update the ".." directory entry.
Bofore this change, NUM_JOBS was set to 1. Some crates for building
C/C++ code (e.g. the cc and cmake crates), rely on this variable to
set the number of jobs. As a consequence, we were compiling embedded
libraries serially. Change this to NIX_BUILD_CORES to permit parallel
builds.
