On one hand, don't want to pass garbage that affects hash, on the other
hand footguns are bad.
Now, factored out the derivation so only need to pass in what is used.
- The darwin test can now force the use of the freshly-booted darwin stdenv
- The linux test now passes enough dummy arguments
This may make debugging harder, if so, check out #20889
- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null
- `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
`system` and `platform`
- Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.
- All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
testing.
This makes the flow of data easier to understand. There's little downside
because the args in question are already inspected by the stdenvs.
cross-compiling in particular is simpler because we don't need to worry
about overriding the config closed over by `allPackages`.
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.
Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.
Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.
`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)
Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken
This reinstates the libSystem selective symbol export machinery we used
to have, but locks it to the symbols that were present in 10.11 and skips
the actual compiled code we put into that library in favor of the system
initialization code. That should make it more stable and less likely to
do weird stuff than the last time we did this.
`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 is similar to `overrideDerivation`, but overrides the arguments to
`mkDerivation` instead of the underlying `derivation` call.
Also update `makeOverridable` so that uses of `overrideAttrs` can be
followed by `override` and `overrideDerivation`, i.e. they can be
mix-and-matched.
The 3.8 upgrade was premature and appears to be breaking a load of stuff
that I can't look into right now. Will take it back to 3.8 and test more
thoroughly before pushing more broadly. I should learn to change fewer
variables at a time :)
It's a long build and generally painful to split into smaller commits,
so I apologize for lumping many changes into one commit but this is far
easier.
There are still several outdated parts of the darwin stdenv but these
changes should bring us closer to the goal.
Fixes#18461
I broke this in the cleanups I did in 171c7f0, the gcc inside the bootstrap
tarball is not getting built with the correct --with-fpu, --with-float
etc. options.
Revert a revert of a merge that shouldn't have been in master but was intentionally in staging.
Next time I'll do this right after the revert instead of so far down the line...
This reverts commit 9adad8612b.
