Since #44522 it's possible to specify custom certificates for the Citrix
receiver. As it took me some time to create a proper setup Citrix can
behave fairly unexpected.
I mostly covered two aspects:
* Don't install Citrix with `nix run`: when `citrix.desktop` is linked
to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, it's possible to start a session directly from the
browser when loading `.ica` files which makes the usage *way* easier.
* It's possible to add custom certificates using the Citrix wrapper. A
new store path with the original derivation and the certificates will be
created and therefore no rebuild of the package is needed when adding
new certs.
The server is not verified over the git:// transfer protocol. If you
clone a repository over git://, you should check if the latest commit's
hash is correct.
On the other hand, https:// will always verify the server automatically,
using certificate authorities.
Use example package `zerobin` instead of `bepasty-server` which
is no longer part of python-packages.
This fixes the examples for current nixpkgs versions.
1. Use the same approach like in the overlay example:
Override `python` instead of `pythonPackages` so that
`python.pkgs` refers to the new package set like `pythonPackages`.
This also fixes a bug in the original example where
`pkgs.fetchgit` was not in scope.
Add an extra example to illustrate how to override just a
package set.
2. Fix mix-up between `super` and `self` in the explanation text.
Also, simplify the explanation.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.

diffpdf: fixup
This script is used to automatically fix issues within xml documentation
files.
The script is *for now* intended to be used ad-hoc, and the commits to
be examined.
A future discussion will define whether:
* This commit and scripts are kept.
* The script is extended for common use.
The biggest issue right now with the script is that it *could* in theory
destroy a valid space-less varlistentry.
The script could, in practical use, be changed and extended to normalize
some parts of the XML files, mainly:
* A common quoting style for attributes
* Fix-up some weird formatting automatically that xmlformat doesn't
catch
This fixes a regression introduced in 4b06383.

Relevant section: 9.5.2.3. How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
Since version 5 `hoogle server`s --local flag solves the problem with links from

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`.
Note that a bunch of non-python packages use this attribute already.
Some of those are clearly unaware of the fact that this attribute does
not exists in stdenv because they define it but don't to add it to
their `bulidInputs` :)
Also note that I use `buildInputs` here and only handle regular
builds because python and haskell builders do it this way and I'm not
sure how to properly handle the cross-compilation case.
Setting haskell.packageOverrides like so:
haskell = super.haskell // {
packageOverrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
causes all compiler-specific package sets to be overridden with those
overrides.

Nobody has stepped up to keep maintaining this and it's several
years old, and the last strict Java 7 dependency, as it won't work
with newer versions without an update.

This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
Existing "mips64el" should be "mipsel".
This is just the barest minimum so that nixpkgs can recognize them as
systems - although required for building individual derivations onto
MIPS boards, it is not sufficient if you want to actually build nixos on
those targets
I originally wrote this for packaging proprietary games in Vuizvui[1]
but I thought it would be generally useful as we have a fair amount of
proprietary software lurking around in nixpkgs, which are a bit tedious
to maintain, especially when the library dependencies change after an
update.
So this setup hook searches for all ELF executables and libraries in the
resulting output paths after install phase and uses patchelf to set the
RPATH and interpreter according to what dependencies are available
inside the builder.
For example consider something like this:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook ];
buildInputs = [ mesa zlib ];
...
}
Whenever for example an executable requires mesa or zlib, the RPATH will
automatically be set to the lib dir of the corresponding dependency.
If the library dependency is required at runtime, an attribute called
runtimeDependencies can be used to list dependencies that are added to
all executables that are discovered unconditionally.
Beside this, it also makes initial packaging of proprietary software
easier, because one no longer has to manually figure out the
dependencies in the first place.

Closes: #34506
I hope this will be a temporary measure. If there is consensus around
issue #33599, then we can follow an explicit `dontCheck`, but default to
not checking during cross builds when none is given.
This accounts for all the new dependencies and propagation logic changes
I'm about to add.
Fixes #1915---with this change I think the distinction is finally clear
enough.
This removes some stale code that was a no-op for some time and adds
some docs/examples to help people with explicitly and consistently
choosing versions of some emacs packages (to help with problems
similar to #27083).
Also add a wrapper generator that allows adding the plugins back
conveniently and corresponding documentation in the package notes
section of the nixpkgs manual.
The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.

Commit 8537cf0f81
("CONTRIBUTING.md: suggest "nixos/<module>" prefix for NixOS changes")
only changed CONTRIBUTING.md file and forgot about the Nixpkgs manual.
(I didn't know this information was stored in two places.)
The main motivation for this is to have something to google for LD=$CC.
Eventually, this should probably be moved to another section, but we
can deal with that later.
1. Call `nix-build` with `--no-out-link` to avoid cluttering the source dir.
2. Re-add `patchShebangs`, since `buildCommand` doesn't imply a patch phase. (It was my fault to remove this in the first place, sorry!)
This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`.
In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in
the package set.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(let
python = let
packageOverrides = self: super: {
pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec {
version = "0.19.1";
name = "pandas-${version}";
src = super.fetchPypi {
pname = "pandas";
inherit version;
sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295";
};
});
};
in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;};
in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env
```
1. 'wrapper' has been renamed to 'wrappedRuby', so use this instead.
2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error.
3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.
So that helper scripts can be easily sourced in interactive shell
configuration. `autojump` package was already present and had the same
requirements for findind a `share` folders, so I took an inspiration
there.
I beleive this is a better alternative to:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25080
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27058
Replacing `$out/share/shell` with `$bin/share/fzf` was necessary to
prevent dependency loop in produced derivations.
Packages get --host and --target by default, but can explicitly request
any subset to be passed as needed. See docs for more info.

dontSetConfigureCross when not cross building
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
The documentation got a bit stale compared to actual contents of
nixpkgs. This commit focuses on updating existing docs, not on making
sure all details of beam packages are covered.
