- New parameter `extraDesktopEntries` to easily add some less usual entries to the desktop file
- Rewrite of the core logic. Instead of a key-value-list, use an attribute set with nullable values to make it overridable
- Added some comments
- Some cosmetic/readability code refactors
- I didn't like the doubly nested strings around the `fileValidation`
This is supposed to shareDocName to a fallback value if it can't be
determined from looking at the configure script. But the conditional
checked whether shareDocName was set, rather than if it wasn't. This
meant that if shareDocName had been detected from a configure script,
it would be immediately overridden by the package name, and if it
couldn't be detected, shareDocName would remain unset.
This resulted in QEMU installing files like $out/share/doc/index.html,
which should of course have been in $out/share/doc/qemu/index.html.
An interesting side effect of this is that, since
9f8751528c when this code was added, the
detected package name has never actually been used for installing
documentation, because it would always be overridden. So this patch
will actually enable that for the first time, four years later.

Cargo sets `CARGO_FEATURE_*` for all features when running a build
script:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html#environment-variables-cargo-sets-for-build-scripts
Some crates have build scripts (e.g. openblas-src) that rely on the
feature variables being properly set.
Since we now need several representations of features, this change
also updates `createFeatures` to be a list of features, rather than
`rustc` feature arguments. `configureCrate` and `buildCrate` then
build the required representations as-needed.
Fixes#68978
When building an environment if two paths conflict but one or both are
symbolic links and they resolve to the same real path, the conflict is
discarded because the contents of both paths are the same. One of them
is chosen and there is no need to recur into them in order to build
deeper symbolic links.
We can use cacert to validate that the data passes SSL certificates.
Normally, this doesn’t happen because we already have the hash, but in
the hash = "" case we don’t.
xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
This adds the `validatePkgConfig` hook, which can be used to validate
pkg-config files in the output(s). Currently, this will just run
`pkg-config --validate` on all `.pc` files, capturing errors such as
the issue that was fixed in #87789.
The hook could be extended in the future with more fine-grained
checks.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/58431 the authors ensured that
the resulting layer.tar would always list
/nix/
/nix/store/
first to fully comply to the tar spec. Various refactorings later it is only
ensured to create /nix/ but NOT /nix/store anymore. Instead tar transformed
them to /nix/nix and /nix/nix/store.
This is much better because then we can freely keep the comments up to
date without causing mass rebuilds.
Someday, somebody should make the same change with `cc-wrapper` and
`bintools-wrapper`.
There are several tarballs (such as the `rust-lang/rust`-source) with a
`Cargo.toml` at root and several sub-packages (with their own Cargo.toml)
without using workspaces[1].
In such a case it's needed to move into a subdir to only build the
specified sub-package (e.g. `rustfmt` or `rsl`), however the artifacts
are at `/target` in the root-dir of the build environment. This breaks
the build since `buildRustPackage` searches for executables in `target`
(which is at the build-env's root) at the end of the `buildPhase`.
With the optional `buildAndTestSubdir`-argument, the builder moves into
the specified subdir using `pushd`/`popd` during `buildPhase` and
`checkPhase`.
Also moved the logic to find executables and libs to the end of the `buildPhase`
from a custom `postBuild`-hook to fix packages with custom `build`/`install`-procedures
such as `uutils-coreutils`.

I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
Some PECLs depend on other PECLs and, like internal PHP extension
dependencies, need to be loaded in the correct order. This makes this
possible by adding the argument "peclDeps" to buildPecl, which adds
the extension to buildInputs and is treated the same way as
internalDeps when the extension config is generated.
flat hashes can be substituted through hashed-mirrors, while recursive
hashes can’t. This is especially important for Bazel since the bazel
fetch dependencies can come from multiple different methods (git,
http, ftp, etc.). To do this, we create tar archives from the
output/external directory, which is then extracted to build. All of
the Bazel hashes are all updated.
If a user provides `nativeBuildInputs = [ llvmPackages.bintools ]` or any other
package containing a `${prefix}/bin/diff`, the builder could use it instead
of the standard unix `diff`, causing a build failure.
This updates the call to specify an abspath to `diff` and avoid reliance on `PATH`.
Resolves#87081
Calculating the tarsum after creating a layer is inefficient, since
we have to read the tarball we've just written from the disk.
This commit simultaneously calculates the tarsum while creating the
tarball.
Appending to an existing tar archive repeatedly seems to be a quadratic
operation, since tar seems to traverse the existing archive even using
the `-r, --append` flag. This commit avoids that by passing the list of
files to a single tar invocation.
When running `cargo test --release`, the artifacts from `buildPhase`
will be reused here. Previously, most of the stuff had to be recompiled
without optimizations.
The only reason to pass build inputs is to extend the unpackPhase with
custom unpack commands. Eg: add "unrar" to unpack rar sources. And those
should really be passed as native build inputs. Why? Because
nativeBuildInputs is for dependencies that are used at build time but
will not propagate as runtime dependencies. And also, cross-compilation.
The build system already sets these properly to the absolute path so no
need to patch the libraries on darwin.

Previously, callPackage would try and fill the arguments such as `name`
and `src` which would cause problems if those existed as top-level
attributes. This also makes it clearer what part is the function
signature.
Then document the derivation inline in the code to explain the ellipsis
and various use-cases.

This is a better name since we have multiple 64-bit things that could
be referred to.
LP64 : integer=32, long=64, pointer=64
ILP64 : integer=64, long=64, pointer=64
This is based on previous work for switching between BLAS and LAPACK
implementation in Debian[1] and Gentoo[2]. The goal is to have one way
to depend on the BLAS/LAPACK libraries that all packages must use. The
attrs “blas” and “lapack” are used to represent a wrapped BLAS/LAPACK
provider. Derivations that don’t care how BLAS and LAPACK are
implemented can just use blas and lapack directly. If you do care what
you get (perhaps for some CPP), you should verify that blas and lapack
match what you expect with an assertion.
The “blas” package collides with the old “blas” reference
implementation. This has been renamed to “blas-reference”. In
addition, “lapack-reference” is also included, corresponding to
“liblapack” from Netlib.org.
Currently, there are 3 providers of the BLAS and LAPACK interfaces:
- lapack-reference: the BLAS/LAPACK implementation maintained by netlib.org
- OpenBLAS: an optimized version of BLAS and LAPACK
- MKL: Intel’s unfree but highly optimized BLAS/LAPACK implementation
By default, the above implementations all use the “LP64” BLAS and
LAPACK ABI. This corresponds to “openblasCompat” and is the safest way
to use BLAS/LAPACK. You may received some benefits from “ILP64” or
8-byte integer BLAS at the expense of breaking compatibility with some
packages.
This can be switched at build time with an override like:
import <nixpkgs> {
config.allowUnfree = true;
overlays = [(self: super: {
lapack = super.lapack.override {
lapackProvider = super.lapack-reference;
};
blas = super.blas.override {
blasProvider = super.lapack-reference;
};
})];
}
or, switched at runtime via LD_LIBRARY_PATH like:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(nix-build -E '(with import <nixpkgs> {}).lapack.override { lapackProvider = pkgs.mkl; is64bit = true; })')/lib:$(nix-build -E '(with import <nixpkgs> {}).blas.override { blasProvider = pkgs.mkl; is64bit = true; })')/lib ./your-blas-linked-binary
By default, we use OpenBLAS LP64 also known in Nixpkgs as
openblasCompat.

hashed-mirrors are content addressed. So if $outputHash is in the
hashed-mirror, changes from ‘postFetch’ would already be made. So,
running postFetch will end up applying the change /again/, which we
don’t want.
I know, heretic, but...
I also know that this is not perfect but it is a good start, I think. It
would be nice if this were part of the automatic "nixdoc" function
reference. I'd like guidance if this should be part of the rust section
or something else.
"Application" is deprecated, "Other" is invalid, there are no generic
categories, and the Categories fields is optional per the spec.
Fixes the defaults after #75729.
Most of the skaware packages already build just fine with pkgsStatic,
however the wrapper scripts for execline and stdnotify-wrapper needed
the `-lskarlib` argument to go at the end.
`utmps` and `nsss` still fail with this error:
```
exec ./tools/install.sh -D -m 600 utmps-utmpd /bin/utmps-utmpd
/build/utmps-0.0.3.1/tools/install.sh: line 48: can't create /bin/utmps-utmpd.tmp.479: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:121: /bin/utmps-utmpd] Error 1
```
This reverts commit a50653295d.
The reasons cited were “debugging”, in which case
you can just add the attribute to `buildSkawarePackage`
and “customizing”, which is still possible with
a normal `overrideDerivation`.
The patch removed `outputs` for some reason
(possible oversight), so building nsss failed.
Plus lots of complexity (e.g. don’t forget to add new
arguments to `removeAttrs` otherwise there’s a bug now).
As it turns out Darwin does most of the things differently then "normal"
systems. They are using a different shared library extension and require
an obscure commandline parameter that has to be added to every build
system out there. That issue seems to be with clang on Darwin as on
Linux that flag isn't required to build the very same tests (when using
clang).
After adjusting these two details the tests are running fine on the
darwin box that I was able to obtain.
- Add packages installed in a sub-directory of site-lisp, such as
mu4e, to EMACSLOADPATH.
- Add ELPA packages to EMACSLOADPATH.
- Add each package only once to EMACSLOADPATH. Before, each package
would typically be added twice for each transitive dependency
leading to a huge variable for a package having many dependencies.
Fixed#78680
According to the Cargo documentation:
> The build script does not have access to the dependencies listed in
> the dependencies or dev-dependencies section (they’re not built
> yet!). Also, build dependencies are not available to the package
> itself unless also explicitly added in the [dependencies] table.

This change separates linkage of regular dependencies and build
dependencies.
Regression introduced in PR #8119180729b6787. The file does not exist
somewhere during bootstrap of pkgsStatic.busybox which is used in nix
(by default).
I tested the builds.
* Make errors include the crate name and make them much more prominent.
* Move more code into lib.sh
* Already source generated logging code and lib.sh in configure
The inlined readme that we were iterating on has been moved to GitHub
issue #79975, and the default is now the new cargo fetcher, so this
doc comment is out of date.
All bazel fixed output derivations should be specific to the bazel
version that was used to generate them. There is not guarantee that the
build will still succeed or reproduces (without the cached fixed output)
if the fetch phase wasn't rerun with a different bazel version.
In the past bazel had been bumped but not all those packages that have
fixed outputs from bazel builds. This lead to compiling and somewhat
working TF versions that couldn't be reproduced without the cached fixed
outputs.
Nix now returns base64-encoded SRI hashes on hash mismatch. Usually,
people copy the returned hashes in TOFU fashion but since base64-encoded
strings can contain slashes, they often broke our use of them for temporary file name.
Escaping them should prevent the failures.
Previously, we would asssert that the lockfiles are consistent during the
unpackPhase, but if the pkg has a patch for the lockfile itself then we must
wait until the patchPhase is complete to check.
This also removes an implicity dependency on the src attribute coming from
`fetchzip` / `fetchFromGitHub`, which happens to name the source directory
"source". Now we glob for it, so different fetchers will work consistently.
This is useful when buildLayeredImage is called in a generic way
that should allow simple (base) images to be built, which may not
reference any store paths.
If we just want to write a non-compiled script (e.g. writeDash), it’s
usually a lot faster just doing it locally. That’s what
`runCommandLocal` was introduced for, so let’s use it in `writers`.
When the `paths` argument is too big `symlinkJoin` will fail with:
```
while setting up the build environment: executing '/nix/store/rm1hz1lybxangc8sdl7xvzs5dcvigvf7-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash': Argument list too long
```
This is fixed by passing `paths` as a file instead of as an
environment variable.
`git repack` and `git gc` sometimes print “Nothing new to pack.”
to stdout, which breaks redirecting output to JSON file.
Let’s move the stdout of all git calls where it is not used to stderr
so that we still receive the info but it does not pollute our output.
Fixes#78744
My previous change broke when there are more packages than the maximum
number of layers. I had assumed that the `store-path-to-layer.sh` was
only ever passed a single store path, but that is not the case if
there are multiple packages going into the final layer. To fix this, we
loop through the paths going into the final layer, appending them to the
tar file and making sure they end up at the right path.
Changes the default fetcher in the Rust Platform to be the newer
`fetchCargoTarball`, and changes every application using the current default to
instead opt out.
This commit does not change any hashes or cause any rebuilds. Once integrated,
we will start deleting the opt-outs and recomputing hashes.
See #79975 for details.
The readme was nice to discuss in the implementation PR, but now that this is
merged it's better to have an issue that can be linked against in PRs and
doesn't require further merges to update status.
Ported with a status update in #79975
By overriding each dependency on every level of the dependency tree we
are creating a lot of unnecessary instances of the same derivation
Looking at the output size of `nix-instantiate --trace-function-calls
-vvvv …` and the execution time I got about a 10x improvement after
applying this change.
It was probably good intentions that lead to these overrides but in
practice no tooling (that I know of) really needs this. `carnix` and
`crate2nix` are fine without those overrides. Furthermore I believe that
it is the job of the tooling around `buildRustCrate` to provide a
coherent set of overrides. By not enforcing all of the overrides, debug
flags, verbosity, … to be the same throughout the closure we also allow
consumers to override specific aspects of the crates. Some (older?)
crates might need different `crateOverrides` then newer crates with the
same name. Currently such situations can not (easily) be implemented
with the override in-place.
This has several advantages:
1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store.
2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages.
3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache.
4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only
substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes).
5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work.
6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output
package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at
runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in
the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a
build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time
src dependencies are tarred up.
Disadvantages are:
1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build.
As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a
rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented
behavior that change the `cargoSha256`.
If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a
series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.
