The nixpkgs documentation mentions how to update out of tree plugins but
one problem is that it requires a nixpkgs clone.
This makes it more convenient.
I've had the need to generate vim plugins and lua overlays for other
projects unrelated to nix and this will make updates easier (aka just
run `nix run nixpkgs#vimPluginsUpdater -- --proc=1` or with the legacy commands:
`nix-shell -p vimPluginsUpdater --run vim-plugins-updater`.
I added an optional "nixpkgs" argument to command line parser, which is the path
towards a nixpkgs checkout. By default the current folder.
update-luarocks-packages: format with black
This change which involves creating multiple outputs for CUDA
redistributable packages.
We use a script to find out, ahead of time, the outputs each redist
package provides. From that, we are able to create multiple outputs for
supported redist packages, allowing users to specify exactly which
components they require.
Beyond the script which finds outputs ahead of time, there is some custom
code involved in making this happen. For example, the way Nixpkgs
typically handles multiple outputs involves making `dev` the default
output when available, and adding `out` to `dev`'s
`propagatedBuildInputs`.
Instead, we make each output independent of the others. If a user wants
only to include the headers found in a redist package, they can do so by
choosing the `dev` output. If they want to include dynamic libraries,
they can do so by specifying the `lib` output, or `static` for static
libraries.
To avoid breakages, we continue to provide the `out` output, which
becomes the union of all other outputs, effectively making the split
outputs opt-in.
1. Clarify what is the reason for importing and to where it saves
2. Clarify that packages.sqlite is a temporary file
3. Link to section about native dependencies from first mention of ql.nix
* nixpkgs manual, doc Python: render interpreters in a table
The current paragraph presenting Python interpreters is verbose and hinders clarity. The information provided is well suited to be rendered as a table.
