With Rust 1.61, it is necessary to link to external static/dynamic libaries
when building the rlib that uses them, rather than when linking the final
binary. In fact, it is no longer necessary to specify the libraries to link
when building the final binary, but the library search path flags must still
be included.
The old logic flow had the structure
if ( … ) {
if ( … ) {
…
} else {
…
}
} else {
…
}
which is quite hard to follow in Nix. Instead we ensure that no if
expression is inside a then branch.
This change is zero rebuild, as no logic was changed.
This parameter is being set to `$NIX_BUILD_CORES` by default. This is a
standard practice but there's a suspicion that this can produce broken
builds. For some details see
https://github.com/cargo2nix/cargo2nix/issues/184 . As a
work-around/test, it'd be good if codegen-units can be set to something
constant, such as `1`. This PR allows it.
Note that the default of `$NIX_BUILD_CORES` is preserved so this MR
causes no change in default behaviour and no rebuilds.
These features are internal-only, have special characters that bash
doesn't support in variable names, and aren't normally given
environment variables by cargo as far as I can tell.
Some crates do not have a Cargo.toml at the top-level, but only in
nested directories. Before this change importCargoLock used to fail with:
error: manifest path `/nix/store/some-store-path/Cargo.toml` does not exist
- `toRustTarget` and friends pulled out from rust tools into rust
library. Since they don't depend on any packages they can be more
widely useable.
- `build-rust-package` gets its own directory
- `fetch-cargo-tarball` gets its own directory
In restricted mode (and therefore with flakes) `builtins.readFile` may not be the result of `builtins.toFile`,
making it impossible to use a generated lockFile (with or without IFD),
and thereby causing evaluation to fail if `system != builtins.currentSystem` on Hydra
so the jobs are not delegated to eligible build machines that support that system.
This is done in a way that avoids rebuilds.
I currently do not have much time to work on nixpkgs. Remove
myself as a maintainer from a bunch of packages to avoid that
people are waiting on me for a review.
