This commit extends fetchFromGitHub with ability to fetch GitHub
repositories with submodules, so we can use the function consistently
with all GitHub repositories.
Note it doesn't change the previous behavior.
Include files are typically in the libc package's `dev` output but previously `-isystem` was looking in `out`, resulting in my cross-compilation environment not finding its include files.
The motivation for this change is the following: As gnu-netcat,
e. g. does not support ipv6, it is not suitable as default netcat.
This commit also fixes all obvious build issues caused by this change.
This is a temporary work-around to fix using grsecurity on NixOS with
the new kernelPackages/kernelPatches machinery.
For whatever reason, when `security.grsecurity.enable = true`, the grsec
patch ends up being applied twice, causing the kernel build to fail.
Until the root cause of this is identified, we hack around it by simply
pruning duplicate patches in the grsec kernel builder.
Closes #19698
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.
Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.
This ensures that most "trivial" derivations used to build NixOS
configurations no longer depend on GCC. For commands that do invoke
gcc, there is runCommandCC.
This is a standard environment that doesn't contain a C/C++
compiler. This is mostly to prevent trivial builders like runCommand
and substituteAll from pulling in gcc for simple configuration changes
on NixOS.
When building an image with multiple layers, files
already included in an underlying layer are supposed to
be excluded from the current layer. However, some subtleties
in the way filepaths are compared seem to be blocking this.
Specifically:
* tar generates relative filepaths with directories ending in '/'
* find generates absolute filepaths with no trailing slashes on directories
That is, paths extracted from the underlying tarball look like:
nix/store/.../foobar/
whereas the layer being generated uses paths like:
/nix/store/.../foobar
This patch modifies the output of "tar -t" to match the latter format.
