Part of: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938 meta = with stdenv.lib; is a widely used pattern. We want to slowly remove the `stdenv.lib` indirection and encourage people to use `lib` directly. Thus let’s start with the meta field. This used a rewriting script to mostly automatically replace all occurances of this pattern, and add the `lib` argument to the package header if it doesn’t exist yet. The script in its current form is available at https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot@2f807d7f141068d2d60676a89213eaa5353ca6e0/-/blob/users/Profpatsch/nixpkgs-rewriter/default.nix

|
longDescription = ''
|
|
This library and tool exists solely because rsync doesn't have file locking.
|
|
|
|
It's not used like a normal library; you don't link against it, and you
|
|
don't have to patch your source code to use it. It's inserted between your
|
|
program and its libraries by use of LD_PRELOAD.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
$ env LD_PRELOAD=$(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/lib/libflockit.so FLOCKIT_FILE_PREFIX=test rsync SRC DEST
|
|
|
|
Besides the library a handy executable is provided which can simplify the above to:
|
|
|
|
$ $(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/bin/flockit test rsync SRC DEST
|
