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.

<para>
|

The function that builds the kernel has an argument
|
||
<varname>kernelPatches</varname> which should be a list of <literal>{name,
|
||
patch, extraConfig}</literal> attribute sets, where <varname>name</varname>
|
||
is the name of the patch (which is included in the kernel’s
|
||
<varname>meta.description</varname> attribute), <varname>patch</varname> is
|
||
the patch itself (possibly compressed), and <varname>extraConfig</varname>
|

(optional) is a string specifying extra options to be concatenated to the
|

kernel configuration file (<filename>.config</filename>).

The kernel derivation exports an attribute <varname>features</varname>

specifying whether optional functionality is or isn’t enabled. This is
|

used in NixOS to implement kernel-specific behaviour. For instance, if the
|
||
kernel has the <varname>iwlwifi</varname> feature (i.e. has built-in support
|
||
for Intel wireless chipsets), then NixOS doesn’t have to build the
|
||
external <varname>iwlwifi</varname> package:
|
||
<programlisting>
|

modulesTree = [kernel]

++ pkgs.lib.optional (!kernel.features ? iwlwifi) kernelPackages.iwlwifi

It may be that the new kernel requires updating the external kernel

<varname>linuxPackagesFor</varname> function in

<filename>all-packages.nix</filename> (such as the NVIDIA drivers, AUFS,

|

<para>
|
||
The Nix expressions for the X.org packages reside in
|
||
<filename>pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/default.nix</filename>. This file is
|
||
automatically generated from lists of tarballs in an X.org release. As such
|
||
it should not be modified directly; rather, you should modify the lists, the
|
||
generator script or the file
|
||
<filename>pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/overrides.nix</filename>, in which you can
|
||
override or add to the derivations produced by the generator.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
The generator is invoked as follows:
|
||
<screen>
|
||
$ cd pkgs/servers/x11/xorg
|
||
$ cat tarballs-7.5.list extra.list old.list \
|
||
| perl ./generate-expr-from-tarballs.pl
|
||
</screen>
|
||
For each of the tarballs in the <filename>.list</filename> files, the script
|
||
downloads it, unpacks it, and searches its <filename>configure.ac</filename>
|
||
and <filename>*.pc.in</filename> files for dependencies. This information is
|
||
used to generate <filename>default.nix</filename>. The generator caches
|
||
downloaded tarballs between runs. Pay close attention to the <literal>NOT
|
||
FOUND: <replaceable>name</replaceable></literal> messages at the end of the
|
||
run, since they may indicate missing dependencies. (Some might be optional
|
||
dependencies, however.)
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
A file like <filename>tarballs-7.5.list</filename> contains all tarballs in
|

a X.org release. It can be generated like this:
|

<screen>
|
||
$ export i="mirror://xorg/X11R7.4/src/everything/"
|
||
$ cat $(PRINT_PATH=1 nix-prefetch-url $i | tail -n 1) \

|
||
| sort > tarballs-7.4.list
|
||
</screen>
|
||
<filename>extra.list</filename> contains libraries that aren’t part of
|
||
X.org proper, but are closely related to it, such as
|
||
<literal>libxcb</literal>. <filename>old.list</filename> contains some
|
||
packages that were removed from X.org, but are still needed by some people
|
||
or by other packages (such as <varname>imake</varname>).
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
If the expression for a package requires derivation attributes that the
|
||
generator cannot figure out automatically (say, <varname>patches</varname>
|
||
or a <varname>postInstall</varname> hook), you should modify
|

<filename>pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/overrides.nix</filename>.

The Nix expressions related to the Eclipse platform and IDE are in

Nixpkgs provides a number of packages that will install Eclipse in its
|
||
various forms, these range from the bare-bones Eclipse Platform to the more
|
||
fully featured Eclipse SDK or Scala-IDE packages and multiple version are
|
||
often available. It is possible to list available Eclipse packages by
|
||
issuing the command:
|
||
<screen>
|
||
$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -qaP -A eclipses --description
|
||
</screen>
|
||
Once an Eclipse variant is installed it can be run using the
|
||
<command>eclipse</command> command, as expected. From within Eclipse it is
|
||
then possible to install plugins in the usual manner by either manually
|
||
specifying an Eclipse update site or by installing the Marketplace Client
|
||
plugin and using it to discover and install other plugins. This installation
|
||
method provides an Eclipse installation that closely resemble a manually
|
||
installed Eclipse.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
If you prefer to install plugins in a more declarative manner then Nixpkgs
|
||
also offer a number of Eclipse plugins that can be installed in an
|
||
<emphasis>Eclipse environment</emphasis>. This type of environment is
|
||
created using the function <varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> found
|
||
inside the <varname>nixpkgs.eclipses</varname> attribute set. This function
|
||
takes as argument <literal>{ eclipse, plugins ? [], jvmArgs ? [] }</literal>
|
||
where <varname>eclipse</varname> is a one of the Eclipse packages described
|
||
above, <varname>plugins</varname> is a list of plugin derivations, and
|
||
<varname>jvmArgs</varname> is a list of arguments given to the JVM running
|
||
the Eclipse. For example, say you wish to install the latest Eclipse
|
||
Platform with the popular Eclipse Color Theme plugin and also allow Eclipse
|
||
to use more RAM. You could then add
|
||
<screen>
|
||
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
|
||
myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
|
||
eclipse = eclipse-platform;
|
||
jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
|
||
plugins = [ plugins.color-theme ];
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</screen>
|
||
to your Nixpkgs configuration
|
||
(<filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>) and install it by
|
||
running <command>nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA myEclipse</command> and
|
||
afterward run Eclipse as usual. It is possible to find out which plugins are
|
||
available for installation using <varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> by
|
||
running
|
||
<screen>
|
||
$ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -qaP -A eclipses.plugins --description
|
||
</screen>
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
If there is a need to install plugins that are not available in Nixpkgs then
|
||
it may be possible to define these plugins outside Nixpkgs using the
|
||
<varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> and
|
||
<varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> functions found in the
|
||
<varname>nixpkgs.eclipses.plugins</varname> attribute set. Use the
|
||
<varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> function to install a plugin
|
||
distributed as an Eclipse update site. This function takes <literal>{ name,
|
||
src }</literal> as argument where <literal>src</literal> indicates the
|
||
Eclipse update site archive. All Eclipse features and plugins within the
|
||
downloaded update site will be installed. When an update site archive is not
|
||
available then the <varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> function can be
|
||
used to install a plugin that consists of a pair of feature and plugin JARs.
|
||
This function takes an argument <literal>{ name, srcFeature, srcPlugin
|
||
}</literal> where <literal>srcFeature</literal> and
|
||
<literal>srcPlugin</literal> are the feature and plugin JARs, respectively.
|
||
</para>

Expanding the previous example with two plugins using the above functions we

The Nix expressions for Elm reside in

dependencies. The process is not automated very much for now -- you should

get the <literal>elm-reactor</literal> source tree (e.g. with

Some packages provide the shell integration to be more useful. But unlike

other systems, nix doesn't have a standard share directory location. This is

the location of the corresponding shared folder. Current list of such

<link xlink:href="http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.nl/2013/09/composing-fhs-compatible-chroot.html">here</link>.

This allows us to have binaries in the expected paths without disrupting

the system, and to avoid patching them to work in a non FHS environment.

There is no java in steam chrootenv by default. If you get a message
|
||
like
|
||
<programlisting>/home/foo/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/towns/towns.sh: line 1: java: command not found</programlisting>
|
||
You need to add
|
||
<programlisting> steam.override { withJava = true; };</programlisting>
|

to your configuration.

The Emacs package comes with some extra helpers to make it easier to
|
||
configure. <varname>emacsWithPackages</varname> allows you to manage
|
||
packages from ELPA. This means that you will not have to install that
|
||
packages from within Emacs. For instance, if you wanted to use
|
||
<literal>company</literal>, <literal>counsel</literal>,
|
||
<literal>flycheck</literal>, <literal>ivy</literal>,
|
||
<literal>magit</literal>, <literal>projectile</literal>, and
|
||
<literal>use-package</literal> you could use this as a
|
||
<filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename> override:

You can install it like any other packages via <command>nix-env -iA
|
||
myEmacs</command>. However, this will only install those packages. It will
|
||
not <literal>configure</literal> them for us. To do this, we need to
|
||
provide a configuration file. Luckily, it is possible to do this from
|
||
within Nix! By modifying the above example, we can make Emacs load a custom
|
||
config file. The key is to create a package that provide a
|
||
<filename>default.el</filename> file in
|
||
<filename>/share/emacs/site-start/</filename>. Emacs knows to load this
|
||
file automatically when it starts.

This provides a fairly full Emacs start file. It will load in addition to

the user's presonal config. You can always disable it by passing

Sometimes <varname>emacsWithPackages</varname> is not enough, as this
|
||
package set has some priorities imposed on packages (with the lowest
|
||
priority assigned to Melpa Unstable, and the highest for packages manually
|
||
defined in <filename>pkgs/top-level/emacs-packages.nix</filename>). But you
|
||
can't control this priorities when some package is installed as a
|
||
dependency. You can override it on per-package-basis, providing all the
|
||
required dependencies manually - but it's tedious and there is always a
|
||
possibility that an unwanted dependency will sneak in through some other
|
||
package. To completely override such a package you can use
|
||
<varname>overrideScope</varname>.

Weechat can be configured to include your choice of plugins, reducing its
|
||
closure size from the default configuration which includes all available
|
||
plugins. To make use of this functionality, install an expression that
|
||
overrides its configuration such as
|
||
<programlisting>weechat.override {configure = {availablePlugins, ...}: {
|
||
plugins = with availablePlugins; [ python perl ];
|
||
}
|
||
}</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
The plugins currently available are <literal>python</literal>,
|
||
<literal>perl</literal>, <literal>ruby</literal>, <literal>guile</literal>,
|
||
<literal>tcl</literal> and <literal>lua</literal>.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
The python plugin allows the addition of extra libraries. For instance, the
|
||
<literal>inotify.py</literal> script in weechat-scripts requires D-Bus or
|
||
libnotify, and the <literal>fish.py</literal> script requires pycrypto. To
|
||
use these scripts, use the <literal>python</literal> plugin's
|
||
<literal>withPackages</literal> attribute:
|
||
<programlisting>weechat.override { configure = {availablePlugins, ...}: {
|
||
plugins = with availablePlugins; [
|
||
(python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pycrypto python-dbus ]))
|
||
];
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
In order to also keep all default plugins installed, it is possible to use
|
||
the following method:
|
||
<programlisting>weechat.override { configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
|
||
plugins = builtins.attrValues (availablePlugins // {
|
||
python = availablePlugins.python.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pycrypto python-dbus ]);
|
||
});
|
||
}; }

The <literal>Citrix Receiver</literal> in <literal>nixpkgs</literal> trusts several certificates

<link xlink:href="https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html">from the Mozilla database</link> by default.

However several companies using Citrix might require their own corporate certificate. On distros with imperative

packaging these certs can be stored easily in

mechanism to add custom certificates without rebuilding the entire package using <literal>symlinkJoin</literal>:
