Fixes#12632.
I think it's better to quote this variable in general, because it is
common and even documented to pass space-separated commands in there.
The greps should just fail in that case and `if` won't proceed
which seems fine for such cases, and it's certainly better than
passing additional unintended parameters to grep
(which was happening all the time before).
Doing it in an openssl setup hook only works if packages have openssl
as a build input - it doesn't work if they're using a program linked
against openssl.
Commit 6d928ab684 changed this to not
preserve timestamps. However, that results in non-determinism; in
particular, it gives us a broken $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (especially for
everything using fetchFromGitHub). Builds affected by timestamps <
1980 should be fixed in some other way (e.g. changing the timestamp to
some fixed date > 1980).
This is used by some build tools to provide reproducible builds. See
https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for more info.
Later, we'll want to set this to a more intelligent value (such as the
most recent mtime of any source file).
So far if no configure script is found or no makefile,
the rest of the phase is skipped, *including* post-hooks.
I find that behavior unexpected/unintuitive.
Earlier version of this patch had problems due to me assuming
that $configureScript is always a simple path, but that turned out
to be false in many cases, e.g. perl.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
You can now pass
separateDebugInfo = true;
to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
Now development stuff is propagated from the first output,
and userEnvPkgs from the one with binaries.
Also don't move *.la files (yet). It causes problems, and they're small.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
Conflicts (simple):
pkgs/os-specific/linux/util-linux/default.nix
It seems this merge creates a new stdenv hash,
because we had changes on both branches :-/
- IMO using a temporary is not needed here (anymore),
- temporary at that location can cause a problem (in a specific case):
for example, when using the substituteAll function from nixpkgs
on a single file directly under /nix/store/ (or ./foo-file),
the stdenv's substitute tries to create a temporary directly under
/nix/store, which causes problems on chrooted darwin
(according to @copumpkin earlier today on IRC)
The old boot.spl.hostid option was not working correctly due to an
upstream bug.
Instead, now we will create the /etc/hostid file so that all applications
(including the ZFS kernel modules, ZFS user-space applications and other
unrelated programs) pick-up the same system-wide host id. Note that glibc
(and by extension, the `hostid` program) also respect the host id configured in
/etc/hostid, if it exists.
The hostid option is now mandatory when using ZFS because otherwise, ZFS will
require you to force-import your ZFS pools if you want to use them, which is
undesirable because it disables some of the checks that ZFS does to make sure it
is safe to import a ZFS pool.
The /etc/hostid file must also exist when booting the initrd, before the SPL
kernel module is loaded, so that ZFS picks up the hostid correctly.
The complexity in creating the /etc/hostid file is due to having to
write the host ID as a 32-bit binary value, taking into account the
endianness of the machine, while using only shell commands and/or simple
utilities (to avoid exploding the size of the initrd).
Getting the names of all environment variables is tricky. The previous
implementation easily got confused by multi-line variables. The new
one is more reliable but not still not perfect.
This works around a segfault in Bash 4.3, where the expression
"${!var}" (where var="-9") crashes under certain conditions.

Otherwise, stdenv won't have a reference to e.g. patchelf on Linux
(because it was passed in by mkDerivation). This causes the installer
tests to fail, because having "stdenv" in the installation CD closure
is not enough to pull in all stdenv packages.

This allows licenses like the Amazon Software License to be identified
properly while still preventing packages with those licenses from
being distributed in the Nixpkgs/NixOS channels.
This should fix the OpenJDK build, which was failing because paxctl is
in sbin and therefore not automatically added to $PATH.

Use the new allowedRequisites feature in stdenvLinux.
This way we properly check that the end-result stdenv of the quite
complicated multi-stage stdenvLinux building procedure is sane, and only
depends on the stuff that we know about.
Alternative would be to just disallowRequisites bootstrapTools, which is
the most common offender, but we have had other offenders in the past.
For these checks to actually fire, you currently have to use nixUnstable,
as the necessary feature will be released in Nix 1.8.
Now it should contain *all* information from stdenv/setup.sh of
the original mutiple-output branch.
However, the configurability of the output paths is much greater.
This is needed for multiple-output derivations,
where it is desirable to propagate deps and setup-hooks into $dev instead of $out.
Also drop an unused simple function which will not even make sense.
Now gcc is just another build input, making it possible in the future
to have a stdenv that doesn't depend on a C compiler. This is very
useful on NixOS, since it would allow trivial builders like
writeTextFile to work without pulling in the C compiler.
If $src refers to a directory, then always copy it. Previously, we
checked the extension first, so if the directory had an extension like
.tar, unpackPhase would fail.
If a build input is a regular file, use it as a setup hook. This makes
setup hooks more efficient to create: you don't need a derivation that
copies them to $out/nix-support/setup-hook, instead you can use the
file as is.
You can now register multiple values per named hook, e.g.
addHook preConfigure "echo foo"
addHook preConfigure "echo bar"
will cause ‘runHook preConfigure’ to run both ‘echo foo’ and ‘echo
bar’ (in that order). It will also call the shell function
preConfigure() or eval the shell variable $preConfigure, if
defined. Thus, if you don't call addHook, it works like the old hook
mechanism.
Allowing multiple hooks makes stdenv more modular and extensible. For
instance, multiple setup hooks can define a preFixup hook, and all of
these will be executed.
Commit 262c21ed46 purported to enable
ignoreNulls, but it was bogus because it set the flag on the wrong
derivation (i.e. stdenv rather than the result of mkDerivation).
Stdenv adapters are kinda weird and un-idiomatic (especially when they
don't actually change stdenv). It's more idiomatic to say
buildInputs = [ makeCoverageAnalysisReport ];
This removes the need for hacks like stdenv.regenerate. It also
ensures that overrideGCC is now stackable (so ‘stdenv = useGoldLinker
clangStdenv’ works).
