The point of this is to be able to do `meta.homepage = src.meta.homepage;`
instead of the usual copy-paste for the packages that are hosted
on these hosting services.
Instead it is provided to the user who can choose whether or not
to include it in the final derivati. Example of including would
be:
```nix
callPackage ... (self: { inherit (self.extras) extraThing; })
```
These extras are also available downstream without being built by
default. This is achieved with `passthru`.
- Only they are added to the optional build path (share/agda)
- Only they are are passed as an include dir (share/agda)
- Only they are propigatedBuildInputs
Instead, discover it automatically when building the package.
This makes `buildRustPackage` more future-proof with respect to changes
in how `cargo` generates the hash.
Also, it fixes broken builds in i686 because apparently, cargo generates
a different registry index hash in this architecture (compared to
x86-64).
This is unused, future users can just use override `buildFlags`
and extend/replace as needed. `includeDirs` is provided for this
purpose.
We should add `dirOf self.everythingFile` rather than `.`, but
`dirOf` breaks on relative paths so that is not an option.
This reverts d927da8dae. Having a copy
of gcc-wrapper/setup-hook.sh is bad for maintainability - it had
already started to diverge. Also, gccStdInc gave a nix-env conflict
with the standard gcc. And it wasn't actually used in Nixpkgs.
Instead, if you really need to change "-isystem" to "-I", you can now
set ccIncludeFlag to "-I".
This makes buildRustPackage portable to non-Linux platforms.
Additionally, now we also save the `Cargo.lock` file into the fetch output, so
that we don't have to run $cargoUpdateHook again just before building.
... in a more generic way.
With this commit, if you need to patch a registry package to make it
work with Nix, you just need to add a script to patch-registry-deps
in the same style as the `pkg-config` script.
Instead, move that code into buildRustPackage.
The setup hook was only doing part of the work anyway, and having it in
a separate place was obscuring what was really going on.
Emacs will call package-initialize itself, if required, or the user will
call it in their initialization file. There is no reason to call it in
the wrapper and doing so only increases start-up time.
It turns out that `cargo`, with respect to registry dependencies, was
ignoring the package versions locked in `Cargo.lock` because we changed
the registry index URL.
Therefore, every time `rustRegistry` would be updated, we'd always try
to use the latest version available for every dependency and as a result
the deps' SHA256 hashes would almost always have to be changed.
To fix this, now we do a string substitution in `Cargo.lock` of the
`crates.io` registry URL with our URL. This should be safe because our
registry is just a copy of the `crates.io` registry at a certain point
in time.
Since now we don't always use the latest version of every dependency,
the build of `cargo` actually started to fail because two of the
dependencies specified in its `Cargo.lock` file have build failures.
To fix the latter problem, I've added a `cargoUpdateHook` variable that
gets ran both when fetching dependencies and just before building the
program. The purpose of `cargoUpdateHook` is to do any ad-hoc updating
of dependencies necessary to get the package to build. The use of the
'--precise' flag is needed so that cargo doesn't try to fetch an even
newer version whenever `rustRegistry` is updated (and therefore have to
change depsSha256 as a consequence).
This is useful when `leaveDotGit = true` and some other derivation
expects some branch name to exist.
Previously, `nix-prefetch-git` always created a branch with a
hard-coded name (`fetchgit`).
This patch resolves https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/6395. Deep
cloning is useful in combination with 'leaveDotGit' for builds that want
to run "git describe" to obtain a proper version string, etc., like the
'haskellngPackages.cabal2nix' package does.
This simplifies melpa builder by merging with it my old emacs modes builder,
adds better instructions and support for overrides in emacs-packages.nix,
and renames some emacs-related stuff in all-packages.nix for sanity reasons.
I declare this backwards compatible since direct uses of emacsPackages in
configuration.nix are very unlikely.
- Add a conditional flag for the c++ std lib
- Build binaries that get linked by our own dyld (someday)
- Automatically add framework directories in the setup hook
- nix-template-rpm can now split the generated templates into
a static part that goes into the nixpkgs tree
a dynamic part that can be updated easily to track the rpm spec files
- add lookup mechanism for package names and package paths
- add mechanism to update existing nix-expression with new download files
These packages, and maybe some more include unix.h for some reason.
Creating that file makes them build, and in the case of xdebug also
appear to work.
We now have an alternate setup hook for gcc-wrapper that uses -I to add
include paths rather than -isystem. The latter flag can change the
search order specified by the build system. For KDE 5 packages, we don't
want that!
The default setup-hook for gcc-wrapper adds include directories with
-isystem, which upsets the order -I flags are processed. This adds an
alternative setup-hook that only uses -I flags. The build system's
ordering of -I flags is then respected. This is important when different
packages provide includes with the same name, such as building packages
that depend on Qt4 and Qt5.
This resolves a regression introduced in fc01353703, where providing a
name without a proper extension breaks existing uses of fetchzip (they
now fail to unpack). Of particular note, that commit broke all uses of
fetchFromGitHub because it uses a name like so: "${repo}-${rev}-src"
Fixes#5954
This fixes:
* Passing stripRoot.
* Archives containing a single file.
* Archives where the root folder has the same name as one of it's children.
Fixes#5851
This option tells the kernel to ignore plug-in events of USB devices. Useful to
protect against attacks with malicious hardware. Currently disabled by default,
though.
The name detection didn't work for e.g. http://git.suckless.org/sinit/.
I tested the tarball builds now.
@shlevy claimed nixpkgs requires nix-1.8 features anyway,
so the additional check with message were superfluous.
