This is the master branch of nixpkgs, initially pulled from commit 8debf2f9a63d54ae4f28994290437ba54c681c7b
The intent of this repo is to be merged onto nixpkgs master. This will also be of help for https://git.suyu.dev/BoomMicrophone/suyu-nix-test
which I will need in order for development (it will also be helpful to know what to do for setting up the environment for the master server. Currently I am focusing on this so I can actually see what is still missing)
This repo will be removed once the PR to the nixpkgs github goes through
719f023f33
time and space on the new (non-ATerm) Nix expression evaluator. It
turns out that release.nix relied rather heavily on maximal laziness
for efficiency: every job calls `allPackages { inherit system; }'
for each platform. This causes the dependencies of the job to be
reevaluated for every job/platform combination. This is very slow
and (because the evaluator doesn't have a garbage collector yet)
eventually causes the evaluator to run out of memory and be killed.
As a workaround, I've replaced the calls to `allPackages' with a
quasi-memoised `pkgsFor' function. It "caches" the result by going
through a variable such as `pkgs_x86_64_linux', which is evaluated
only once. Evaluation now only takes 4.4s and 545 MiB on my
machine.
A cleaner solution may be to move the `system' argument outwards so
that entire set of jobs is called only once for each value of
`system'.
