In my opinion Functions should only contain pure functions. These are
both meant to provide derivations so I put them under Builders. Don't
know exactly *where* to put them so "special" it is...
Reorganize the chapters into parts and reduce the TOC depth to make the
TOC useful again. The top-level TOC is very brief, but that is fine
because every part will have its own TOC.
Section titles of languages/frameworks are also simplified to just
the name of the language/framework.
@garbas and @seppeljordan, are these updates correct?
I removed `offlinehacker/pypi2nix` as an unmaintained ancestor of the current repo `nix-community/pypi2nix`. It appears @garbas forked `offlinehacker/pypi2nix` to `garbas/pypi2nix` and then handed off maintainership to @seppeljordan, transferring the repo to `nix-community/pypi2nix`.
One issue with cargoSha256 is that it's hard to detect when it needs to
be updated or not. It's possible to upgrade a package and forget to
update cargoSha256 and run with old versions of the program or
libraries.
This commit introduces `verifyCargoDeps` which, when enabled, will check
that the Cargo.lock is not out of date in the cargoDeps by comparing it
with the package source.
This commit splits the `buildPythonPackage` into multiple setup hooks.
Generally, Python packages are built from source to wheels using `setuptools`.
The wheels are then installed with `pip`. Tests were often called with
`python setup.py test` but this is less common nowadays. Most projects
now use a different entry point for running tests, typically `pytest`
or `nosetests`.
Since the wheel format was introduced more tools were built to generate these,
e.g. `flit`. Since PEP 517 is provisionally accepted, defining a build-system
independent format (`pyproject.toml`), `pip` can now use that format to
execute the correct build-system.
In the past I've added support for PEP 517 (`pyproject`) to the Python
builder, resulting in a now rather large builder. Furthermore, it was not possible
to reuse components elsewhere. Therefore, the builder is now split into multiple
setup hooks.
The `setuptoolsCheckHook` is included now by default but in time it should
be removed from `buildPythonPackage` to make it easier to use another hook
(curently one has to pass in `dontUseSetuptoolsCheck`).
This is a new package that provides a shell hook to make it easy to
declare manpages and shell completions in a manner that doesn't require
remembering where to actually install them. Basic usage looks like
{ stdenv, installShellFiles, ... }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
# ...
nativeBuildInputs = [ installShellFiles ];
postInstall = ''
installManPage doc/foobar.1
installShellCompletion --bash share/completions/foobar.bash
installShellCompletion --fish share/completions/foobar.fish
installShellCompletion --zsh share/completions/_foobar
'';
# ...
}
See source comments for more details on the functions.
