This provides a means to build a PHP package based on a list of
extensions from another.
For example, to generate a package with all default extensions
enabled, except opcache, but with ImageMagick:
php.withExtensions (e:
(lib.filter (e: e != php.extensions.opcache) php.enabledExtensions)
++ [ e.imagick ])
So now we have only packages for human interaction in php.packages and
only extensions in php.extensions. With this php.packages.exts have
been merged into the same attribute set as all the other extensions to
make it flat and nice.
The nextcloud module have been updated to reflect this change as well
as the documentation.
Make mkExtension put headers in the dev output and use them, instead of
a different part of the current source tree, when referring to another
extension by using internalDeps.
This means external extensions can be built against the internal ones.
This means php packages can now refer to other php packages by looking
them up in the php.packages attribute and gets rid of the internal
recursive set previously defined in php-packages.nix. This also means
that in applications where previously both the php package and the
corresponding version of the phpPackages package set had to be
specified, the php package will now suffice.
This also adds the phpWithExtensions parameter to the
php-packages.nix, which can be used by extensions that need a fully
featured PHP executable.
A slight rewrite of buildEnv which:
1. Makes buildEnv recursively add itself to its output, so that it can
be accessed from any php derivation.
2. Orders the extension text strings according to their internalDeps
attribute - dependencies have to be put before dependants in the
php.ini or they will fail to load due to missing symbols.
This moves yet more extensions from the base build to
phpPackages.ext. Some of the extensions are a bit quirky and need
patching for this to work, most notably mysqlnd and opcache.
Two new parameters are introduced for mkExtension - internalDeps and
postPhpize. internalDeps is used to specify which other internal
extensions the current extension depends on, in order to provide them
at build time. postPhpize is for when patches and quirks need to be
applied after running phpize.
Patch notes:
- For opcache, older versions of PHP have a bug where header files are
included in the wrong order.
- For mysqlnd, the config.h is never included, so we include it in the
main header file, mysqlnd.h. Also, the configure script doesn't add
the necessary library link flags, so we add them to the variable
configure should have added them to.
Also, add opcache to default extensions since it significantly
increases PHP's performance and is by default enabled on Debian based
distributions. Not having it enabled by default results in a puzzling
performance loss for anyone attempting to migrate from Debian/Ubuntu
to NixOS who is unaware of this. Therefore, enable it by default. /talyz
Initially discussed in #55460.
This patch adds a `buildEnv` function to `php` that has the
following features:
* `php.buildEnv { extraConfig = /* ... */; }` to specify custom
`php.ini` args for the CLI.
* `php.buildEnv { exts = phpPackages: [phpPackages.apcu] }` to
create a PHP interpreter for the CLI with the `apcu` extension.
