-Package naming
-
-In Nixpkgs, there are generally three different names associated with a package:
-
-
-
- The name attribute of the
- derivation (excluding the version part). This is what most users
- see, in particular when using
- nix-env.
-
- The variable name used for the instantiated package
- in all-packages.nix, and when passing it as a
- dependency to other functions. Typically this is called the
- package attribute name. This is what Nix
- expression authors see. It can also be used when installing using
- nix-env -iA.
-
- The filename for (the directory containing) the Nix
- expression.
-
-
-
-Most of the time, these are the same. For instance, the package
-e2fsprogs has a name attribute
-"e2fsprogs-version", is
-bound to the variable name e2fsprogs in
-all-packages.nix, and the Nix expression is in
-pkgs/os-specific/linux/e2fsprogs/default.nix.
-
-
-There are a few naming guidelines:
-
-
-
- Generally, try to stick to the upstream package
- name.
-
- Don’t use uppercase letters in the
- name attribute — e.g.,
- "mplayer-1.0rc2" instead of
- "MPlayer-1.0rc2".
-
- The version part of the name
- attribute must start with a digit (following a
- dash) — e.g., "hello-0.3.1rc2".
-
- If a package is not a release but a commit from a repository, then
- the version part of the name must be the date of that
- (fetched) commit. The date must be in "YYYY-MM-DD" format.
- Also append "unstable" to the name - e.g.,
- "pkgname-unstable-2014-09-23".
-
- Dashes in the package name should be preserved in
- new variable names, rather than converted to underscores or camel
- cased — e.g., http-parser instead of
- http_parser or httpParser. The
- hyphenated style is preferred in all three package
- names.
-
- If there are multiple versions of a package, this
- should be reflected in the variable names in
- all-packages.nix,
- e.g. json-c-0-9 and json-c-0-11.
- If there is an obvious “default” version, make an attribute like
- json-c = json-c-0-9;.

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-File naming and organisation
-
-Names of files and directories should be in lowercase, with
-dashes between words — not in camel case. For instance, it should be
-all-packages.nix, not
-allPackages.nix or
-AllPackages.nix.
-
-Hierarchy
-
-Each package should be stored in its own directory somewhere in
-the pkgs/ tree, i.e. in
-pkgs/category/subcategory/.../pkgname.
-Below are some rules for picking the right category for a package.
-Many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the
-primary purpose of a package. For example, the
-libxml2 package builds both a library and some
-tools; but it’s a library foremost, so it goes under
-pkgs/development/libraries.
-
-When in doubt, consider refactoring the
-pkgs/ tree, e.g. creating new categories or

+ Versioning
-Versioning
+
+ Because every version of a package in Nixpkgs creates a potential
+ maintenance burden, old versions of a package should not be kept unless
+ there is a good reason to do so. For instance, Nixpkgs contains several
+ versions of GCC because other packages don’t build with the latest
+ version of GCC. Other examples are having both the latest stable and latest
+ pre-release version of a package, or to keep several major releases of an
+ application that differ significantly in functionality.

+ If there is only one version of a package, its Nix expression should be

+ e2fsprogs/1.41.9.nix. The version in the filename
+ should leave out unnecessary detail. For instance, if we keep the latest
+ Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x versions in Nixpkgs, they should be named
+ firefox/2.0.nix and
+ firefox/3.5.nix, respectively (which, at a given
+ point, might contain versions 2.0.0.20 and
+ 3.5.4). If a version requires many auxiliary files, you
+ can use a subdirectory for each version, e.g.
+ firefox/2.0/default.nix and
+ firefox/3.5/default.nix.

- availability. Right now there is only one fetcher which has mirroring

+ Cross-compilation
+ Introduction
+
- "Cross-compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another type of machine.
- For example, a typical use of cross compilation is to compile programs for embedded devices.
- These devices often don't have the computing power and memory to compile their own programs.
- One might think that cross-compilation is a fairly niche concern, but there are advantages to being rigorous about distinguishing build-time vs run-time environments even when one is developing and deploying on the same machine.
- Nixpkgs is increasingly adopting the opinion that packages should be written with cross-compilation in mind, and nixpkgs should evaluate in a similar way (by minimizing cross-compilation-specific special cases) whether or not one is cross-compiling.

+ Packaging in a cross-friendly manner
- Platform parameters
-
- Nixpkgs follows the common historical convention of GNU autoconf of distinguishing between 3 types of platform: build, host, and target.
+ Platform parameters
- In summary, build is the platform on which a package is being built, host is the platform on which it is to run. The third attribute, target, is relevant only for certain specific compilers and build tools.

- In Nixpkgs, these three platforms are defined as attribute sets under the names buildPlatform, hostPlatform, and targetPlatform.
- All three are always defined as attributes in the standard environment, and at the top level. That means one can get at them just like a dependency in a function that is imported with callPackage:
- { stdenv, buildPlatform, hostPlatform, fooDep, barDep, .. }: ...buildPlatform..., or just off stdenv:
- { stdenv, fooDep, barDep, .. }: ...stdenv.buildPlatform....
-
-
-
- buildPlatform
-
- The "build platform" is the platform on which a package is built.
- Once someone has a built package, or pre-built binary package, the build platform should not matter and be safe to ignore.
-
-
-
- hostPlatform
-
- The "host platform" is the platform on which a package will be run.
- This is the simplest platform to understand, but also the one with the worst name.
-
-
-
- targetPlatform
-
-
- The "target platform" attribute is, unlike the other two attributes, not actually fundamental to the process of building software.
- Instead, it is only relevant for compatibility with building certain specific compilers and build tools.
- It can be safely ignored for all other packages.
-
-
- The build process of certain compilers is written in such a way that the compiler resulting from a single build can itself only produce binaries for a single platform.
- The task specifying this single "target platform" is thus pushed to build time of the compiler.
- The root cause of this mistake is often that the compiler (which will be run on the host) and the the standard library/runtime (which will be run on the target) are built by a single build process.
-
-
- There is no fundamental need to think about a single target ahead of time like this.
- If the tool supports modular or pluggable backends, both the need to specify the target at build time and the constraint of having only a single target disappear.
- An example of such a tool is LLVM.
-
-
- Although the existence of a "target platfom" is arguably a historical mistake, it is a common one: examples of tools that suffer from it are GCC, Binutils, GHC and Autoconf.
- Nixpkgs tries to avoid sharing in the mistake where possible.
- Still, because the concept of a target platform is so ingrained, it is best to support it as is.
-
-
-
-
-
- The exact schema these fields follow is a bit ill-defined due to a long and convoluted evolution, but this is slowly being cleaned up.
- You can see examples of ones used in practice in lib.systems.examples; note how they are not all very consistent.
- For now, here are few fields can count on them containing:
-
-
-
- system
-
-
- This is a two-component shorthand for the platform.
- Examples of this would be "x86_64-darwin" and "i686-linux"; see lib.systems.doubles for more.
- This format isn't very standard, but has built-in support in Nix, such as the builtins.currentSystem impure string.
-
-
-
-
- config
-
-
- This is a 3- or 4- component shorthand for the platform.
- Examples of this would be "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" and "aarch64-apple-darwin14".
- This is a standard format called the "LLVM target triple", as they are pioneered by LLVM and traditionally just used for the targetPlatform.
- This format is strictly more informative than the "Nix host double", as the previous format could analogously be termed.
- This needs a better name than config!
-
-
-
-
- parsed
-
-
- This is a nix representation of a parsed LLVM target triple with white-listed components.
- This can be specified directly, or actually parsed from the config.
- [Technically, only one need be specified and the others can be inferred, though the precision of inference may not be very good.]

- Specifying Dependencies
+ Specifying Dependencies
+
+
+ In this section we explore the relationship between both runtime and
+ buildtime dependencies and the 3 Autoconf platforms.
+
+
+
+ A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the
+ host and target platforms match. This is directly implied by the meaning of
+ "host platform" and "runtime dependency": The package dependency exists
+ while both packages are running on a single host platform.
+
+
+
+ A build time dependency, however, implies a shift in platforms between the
+ depending package and the depended-on package. The meaning of a build time
+ dependency is that to build the depending package we need to be able to run
+ the depended-on's package. The depending package's build platform is
+ therefore equal to the depended-on package's host platform. Analogously,
+ the depending package's host platform is equal to the depended-on package's
+ target platform.
+
+
+
+ In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the
+ three platforms for all its transitive dependencies. This is the most
+ important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will
+ be called the sliding window principle.
+
+
+
+ Some examples will probably make this clearer. If a package is being built
+ with a (build, host, target) platform triple of
+ (foo, bar, bar), then its build-time dependencies would
+ have a triple of (foo, foo, bar), and those
+ packages' build-time dependencies would have triple of
+ (foo, foo, foo). In other words, it should take two
+ "rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a
+ fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no
+ longer changes. Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only
+ rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide
+ with native packages.
+
+
+
- In this section we explore the relationship between both runtime and buildtime dependencies and the 3 Autoconf platforms.
+ The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding
+ window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build
+ cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
+
+
+
+ How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that
+ build-time dependencies are taken from buildPackages,
+ whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
+ For example, buildPackages.gcc should be used at build
+ time, while gcc should be used at run time. Now, for
+ most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no buildPackages,
+ and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly. Instead,
+ one can use the six (gasp) attributes used for
+ specifying dependencies as documented in
+ . We "splice" together the
+ run-time and build-time package sets with callPackage,
+ and then mkDerivation for each of four attributes pulls
+ the right derivation out. This splicing can be skipped when not cross
+ compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross
+ compiling. Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works
+ with no splicing or explicit access of buildPackages
+ needed. For now, feel free to use either method.
+
+
+
- A runtime dependency between 2 packages implies that between them both the host and target platforms match.
- This is directly implied by the meaning of "host platform" and "runtime dependency":
- The package dependency exists while both packages are running on a single host platform.
+ There is also a "backlink" targetPackages, yielding a
+ package set whose buildPackages is the current package
+ set. This is a hack, though, to accommodate compilers with lousy build
+ systems. Please do not use this unless you are absolutely sure you are
+ packaging such a compiler and there is no other way.

- Many sources (manual, wiki, etc) probably mention passing system, platform, along with the optional crossSystem to nixpkgs:

- One would think that localSystem and crossSystem overlap horribly with the three *Platforms (buildPlatform, hostPlatform, and targetPlatform; see stage.nix or the manual).
- Actually, those identifiers are purposefully not used here to draw a subtle but important distinction:
- While the granularity of having 3 platforms is necessary to properly *build* packages, it is overkill for specifying the user's *intent* when making a build plan or package set.
- A simple "build vs deploy" dichotomy is adequate: the sliding window principle described in the previous section shows how to interpolate between the these two "end points" to get the 3 platform triple for each bootstrapping stage.
- That means for any package a given package set, even those not bound on the top level but only reachable via dependencies or buildPackages, the three platforms will be defined as one of localSystem or crossSystem, with the former replacing the latter as one traverses build-time dependencies.
- A last simple difference then is crossSystem should be null when one doesn't want to cross-compile, while the *Platforms are always non-null.

-
- Introduction
-
- In this document and related Nix expressions, we use the term,
- BEAM, to describe the environment. BEAM is the name
- of the Erlang Virtual Machine and, as far as we're concerned, from a
- packaging perspective, all languages that run on the BEAM are
- interchangeable. That which varies, like the build system, is transparent
- to users of any given BEAM package, so we make no distinction.
-
-
-
- Structure
-
- All BEAM-related expressions are available via the top-level
- beam attribute, which includes:
-
-
-
-
- interpreters: a set of compilers running on the
- BEAM, including multiple Erlang/OTP versions
- (beam.interpreters.erlangR19, etc), Elixir
- (beam.interpreters.elixir) and LFE
- (beam.interpreters.lfe).
-
-
-
-
- packages: a set of package sets, each compiled with
- a specific Erlang/OTP version, e.g.
- beam.packages.erlangR19.
-
-
-
-
- The default Erlang compiler, defined by
- beam.interpreters.erlang, is aliased as
- erlang. The default BEAM package set is defined by
- beam.packages.erlang and aliased at the top level as
- beamPackages.
-
-
- To create a package set built with a custom Erlang version, use the
- lambda, beam.packagesWith, which accepts an Erlang/OTP
- derivation and produces a package set similar to
- beam.packages.erlang.
-
-
- Many Erlang/OTP distributions available in
- beam.interpreters have versions with ODBC and/or Java
- enabled. For example, there's
- beam.interpreters.erlangR19_odbc_javac, which
- corresponds to beam.interpreters.erlangR19.
-
-
- We also provide the lambda,
- beam.packages.erlang.callPackage, which simplifies
- writing BEAM package definitions by injecting all packages from
- beam.packages.erlang into the top-level context.

-
- Rebar3
-
- By default, Rebar3 wants to manage its own dependencies. This is perfectly

- To rectify this, we provide two versions of Rebar3:
-
-
-
- rebar3: patched to remove the ability to download
- anything. When not running it via nix-shell or
- nix-build, it's probably not going to work as

-Introduction
- The Nix language allows a derivation to produce multiple outputs, which is similar to what is utilized by other Linux distribution packaging systems. The outputs reside in separate nix store paths, so they can be mostly handled independently of each other, including passing to build inputs, garbage collection or binary substitution. The exception is that building from source always produces all the outputs.
- The main motivation is to save disk space by reducing runtime closure sizes; consequently also sizes of substituted binaries get reduced. Splitting can be used to have more granular runtime dependencies, for example the typical reduction is to split away development-only files, as those are typically not needed during runtime. As a result, closure sizes of many packages can get reduced to a half or even much less.
- The reduction effects could be instead achieved by building the parts in completely separate derivations. That would often additionally reduce build-time closures, but it tends to be much harder to write such derivations, as build systems typically assume all parts are being built at once. This compromise approach of single source package producing multiple binary packages is also utilized often by rpm and deb.

-Installing a split package
- When installing a package via systemPackages or nix-env you have several options:
- You can install particular outputs explicitly, as each is available in the Nix language as an attribute of the package. The outputs attribute contains a list of output names.
- You can let it use the default outputs. These are handled by meta.outputsToInstall attribute that contains a list of output names.
- TODO: more about tweaking the attribute, etc.
- NixOS provides configuration option environment.extraOutputsToInstall that allows adding extra outputs of environment.systemPackages atop the default ones. It's mainly meant for documentation and debug symbols, and it's also modified by specific options.
- At this moment there is no similar configurability for packages installed by nix-env. You can still use approach from to override meta.outputsToInstall attributes, but that's a rather inconvenient way.

+ Writing a split derivation
-Writing a split derivation
- Here you find how to write a derivation that produces multiple outputs.
- In nixpkgs there is a framework supporting multiple-output derivations. It tries to cover most cases by default behavior. You can find the source separated in <nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/setup-hooks/multiple-outputs.sh>; it's relatively well-readable. The whole machinery is triggered by defining the outputs attribute to contain the list of desired output names (strings).
- outputs = [ "bin" "dev" "out" "doc" ];
- Often such a single line is enough. For each output an equally named environment variable is passed to the builder and contains the path in nix store for that output. Typically you also want to have the main out output, as it catches any files that didn't get elsewhere.
- There is a special handling of the debug output, described at .

- Binaries first
- A commonly adopted convention in nixpkgs is that executables provided by the package are contained within its first output. This convention allows the dependent packages to reference the executables provided by packages in a uniform manner. For instance, provided with the knowledge that the perl package contains a perl executable it can be referenced as ${pkgs.perl}/bin/perl within a Nix derivation that needs to execute a Perl script.
- The glibc package is a deliberate single exception to the binaries first convention. The glibc has libs as its first output allowing the libraries provided by glibc to be referenced directly (e.g. ${stdenv.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2). The executables provided by glibc can be accessed via its bin attribute (e.g. ${stdenv.glibc.bin}/bin/ldd).
- The reason for why glibc deviates from the convention is because referencing a library provided by glibc is a very common operation among Nix packages. For instance, third-party executables packaged by Nix are typically patched and relinked with the relevant version of glibc libraries from Nix packages (please see the documentation on patchelf for more details).

- File type groups
- The support code currently recognizes some particular kinds of outputs and either instructs the build system of the package to put files into their desired outputs or it moves the files during the fixup phase. Each group of file types has an outputFoo variable specifying the output name where they should go. If that variable isn't defined by the derivation writer, it is guessed – a default output name is defined, falling back to other possibilities if the output isn't defined.

+ File type groups
-
- $outputDev
- is for development-only files. These include C(++) headers, pkg-config, cmake and aclocal files. They go to dev or out by default.

- Common caveats
-
- Some configure scripts don't like some of the parameters passed by default by the framework, e.g. --docdir=/foo/bar. You can disable this by setting setOutputFlags = false;.
- The outputs of a single derivation can retain references to each other, but note that circular references are not allowed. (And each strongly-connected component would act as a single output anyway.)
- Most of split packages contain their core functionality in libraries. These libraries tend to refer to various kind of data that typically gets into out, e.g. locale strings, so there is often no advantage in separating the libraries into lib, as keeping them in out is easier.
- Some packages have hidden assumptions on install paths, which complicates splitting.

-Release 0.10 (October 12, 2006)
-
-This release of Nixpkgs requires Nix
-0.10 or higher.
-
-This release has the following improvements:
-
-
-
- pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix
- is gone, we now just have
- pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix that contains
- all available packages. This should cause much less confusion with
- users. all-packages.nix is a function that by
- default returns packages for the current platform, but you can
- override this by specifying a different system
- argument.
-
- Certain packages in Nixpkgs are now
- user-configurable through a configuration file, i.e., without having
- to edit the Nix expressions in Nixpkgs. For instance, the Firefox
- provided in the Nixpkgs channel is built without the RealPlayer
- plugin (for legal reasons). Previously, you could easily enable
- RealPlayer support by editing the call to the Firefox function in
- all-packages.nix, but such changes are not
- respected when Firefox is subsequently updated through the Nixpkgs
- channel.
-
- The Nixpkgs configuration file (found in
- ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix or through the
- NIXPKGS_CONFIG environment variable) is an attribute
- set that contains configuration options that
- all-packages.nix reads and uses for certain
- packages. For instance, the following configuration file:

};
}
-
- persistently enables RealPlayer support in the Firefox
- build.
-
- (Actually, firefox.enableRealPlayer is the
- only configuration option currently available,
- but more are sure to be added.)
-
- Support for new platforms:
-
-
-
- i686-cygwin, i.e., Windows
- (using Cygwin).
- The standard environment on i686-cygwin by
- default builds binaries for the Cygwin environment (i.e., it
- uses Cygwin tools and produces executables that use the Cygwin
- library). However, there is also a standard environment that
- produces binaries that use MinGW. You can use it
- by calling all-package.nix with the
- stdenvType argument set to
- "i686-mingw".
-
- i686-darwin, i.e., Mac OS X
- on Intel CPUs.
-
- powerpc-linux.
-
- x86_64-linux, i.e., Linux on
- 64-bit AMD/Intel CPUs. Unlike i686-linux,
- this platform doesn’t have a pure stdenv
- yet.
-
-
-
+ persistently enables RealPlayer support in the Firefox build.
-
-
-
- The default compiler is now GCC 4.1.1.
-
- X11 updated to X.org’s X11R7.1.
-
- Notable new packages:
-
-
-
- Opera.
-
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and
- the Windows SDK.
-
-
-
- In total there are now around 809 packages in Nixpkgs.
-
-
-
-
- It is now much easier to
- override the default C compiler and other tools in
- stdenv for specific packages.
- all-packages.nix provides two utility
- functions for this purpose: overrideGCC and
- overrideInStdenv. Both take a
- stdenv and return an augmented
- stdenv; the formed changes the C compiler, and
- the latter adds additional packages to the front of
- stdenv’s initial PATH, allowing
- tools to be overridden.
-
- For instance, the package strategoxt
- doesn’t build with the GNU Make in stdenv

+ produces executables that use the Cygwin library). However, there is
+ also a standard environment that produces binaries that use
+ MinGW. You can

+ latter adds additional packages to the front of
+ stdenv’s initial PATH, allowing tools

-Release 0.9 (January 31, 2006)
-
-There have been zillions of changes since the last release of
-Nixpkgs. Many packages have been added or updated. The following are
-some of the more notable changes:
-
-
-
- Distribution files have been moved to .
-
- The C library on Linux, Glibc, has been updated to
- version 2.3.6.
-
- The default compiler is now GCC 3.4.5. GCC 4.0.2 is
- also available.
-
- The old, unofficial Xlibs has been replaced by the
- official modularised X11 distribution from X.org, i.e., X11R7.0.
- X11R7.0 consists of 287 (!) packages, all of which are in Nixpkgs
- though not all have been tested. It is now possible to build a
- working X server (previously we only had X client libraries). We
- use a fully Nixified X server on NixOS.
-
- The Sun JDK 5 has been purified, i.e., it doesn’t
- require any non-Nix components such as
- /lib/ld-linux.so.2. This means that Java
- applications such as Eclipse and Azureus can run on
- NixOS.
-
- Hardware-accelerated OpenGL support, used by games
- like Quake 3 (which is now built from source).
-
- Improved support for FreeBSD on
- x86.
-
- Improved Haskell support; e.g., the GHC build is now
- pure.
-
- Some support for cross-compilation: cross-compiling
- builds of GCC and Binutils, and cross-compiled builds of the C
- library uClibc.
-
- Notable new packages:
-
-
-
- teTeX, including support for building LaTeX
- documents using Nix (with automatic dependency
- determination).
-
- Ruby.
-
- System-level packages to support NixOS,
- e.g. Grub, GNU parted and so
- on.
-
- ecj, the Eclipse Compiler for
- Java, so we finally have a freely distributable compiler that
- supports Java 5.0.
-
- php.
-
- The GIMP.
-
- Inkscape.
-
- GAIM.
-
- kdelibs. This allows us to
- add KDE-based packages (such as
- kcachegrind).

-Release 0.8 (April 11, 2005)
-
-This release is mostly to remain synchronised with the changed
-hashing scheme in Nix 0.8.

-
-
-
- The bootstrap process for the standard build
- environment on Linux (stdenv-linux) has been improved. It is no
- longer dependent in its initial bootstrap stages on the system
- Glibc, GCC, and other tools. Rather, Nixpkgs contains a statically
- linked bash and curl, and uses that to download other statically
- linked tools. These are then used to build a Glibc and dynamically
- linked versions of all other tools.
-
- This change also makes the bootstrap process faster. For
- instance, GCC is built only once instead of three times.
-
- (Contributed by Armijn Hemel.)
-
-
-
-
-
- Tarballs used by Nixpkgs are now obtained from the same server
- that hosts Nixpkgs (). This reduces the
- risk of packages being unbuildable due to moved or deleted files on
- various servers.
-
-
-
-
-
- There now is a generic mechanism for building Perl modules.
- See the various Perl modules defined in
- pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix.

-
- Notable new packages:
-
-

- Qt 3
- MySQL

- Mono
- MonoDevelop (alpha)

+ Dependencies can be broken down along three axes: their host and target

+ The platform distinctions are motivated by cross compilation; see

+
+
+ The build platform is ignored because it is a mere implementation detail
+ of the package satisfying the dependency: As a general programming
+ principle, dependencies are always specified as
+ interfaces, not concrete implementation.
+
+
+ But even if one is not cross compiling, the platforms imply whether or not
+ the dependency is needed at run-time or build-time, a concept that makes
+ perfect sense outside of cross compilation. For now, the run-time/build-time

-The standard environment provides the following packages:
+
+ The extension of PATH with dependencies, alluded to above,
+ proceeds according to the relative platforms alone. The process is carried
+ out only for dependencies whose host platform matches the new derivation's
+ build platform–i.e. which run on the platform where the new derivation
+ will be built.
+
+
+ Currently, that means for native builds all dependencies are put on the
+ PATH. But in the future that may not be the case for sake
+ of matching cross: the platforms would be assumed to be unique for native
+ and cross builds alike, so only the depsBuild* and
+ nativeBuildDependencies dependencies would affect the
+ PATH.

+
+ For each dependency dep of those dependencies,

+ like setup hooks (mentioned above) also are run as if the propagated

-It supports the following files by default:
-
-
-

-
-
-
- Zip files
- Zip files are unpacked using
- unzip. However, unzip is
- not in the standard environment, so you should add it to
- buildInputs yourself.
-
-
-
- Directories in the Nix store
- These are simply copied to the current directory.
- The hash part of the file name is stripped,
- e.g. /nix/store/1wydxgby13cz...-my-sources
- would be copied to
- my-sources.
-
-
-
-
-Additional file types can be supported by setting the
-unpackCmd variable (see below).
-
-
-
-
- Variables controlling the unpack phase
-
-
- srcs / src
- The list of source files or directories to be
- unpacked or copied. One of these must be set.
-
-
-
- sourceRoot
- After running unpackPhase,
- the generic builder changes the current directory to the directory
- created by unpacking the sources. If there are multiple source
- directories, you should set sourceRoot to the
- name of the intended directory.
-
-
-
- setSourceRoot
- Alternatively to setting
- sourceRoot, you can set
- setSourceRoot to a shell command to be
- evaluated by the unpack phase after the sources have been
- unpacked. This command must set
- sourceRoot.
-
-
-
- preUnpack
- Hook executed at the start of the unpack
- phase.
-
-
-
- postUnpack
- Hook executed at the end of the unpack
- phase.
-
-
-
- dontMakeSourcesWritable
- If set to 1, the unpacked
- sources are not made
- writable. By default, they are made writable to prevent problems
- with read-only sources. For example, copied store directories
- would be read-only without this.
-
-
-
- unpackCmd
- The unpack phase evaluates the string
- $unpackCmd for any unrecognised file. The path
- to the current source file is contained in the
- curSrc variable.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-The patch phase
-
-The patch phase applies the list of patches defined in the
-patches variable.
-
-
- Variables controlling the patch phase
-
-
- patches
- The list of patches. They must be in the format
- accepted by the patch command, and may
- optionally be compressed using gzip
- (.gz), bzip2
- (.bz2) or xz
- (.xz).
-
-
-
- patchFlags
- Flags to be passed to patch.
- If not set, the argument is used, which
- causes the leading directory component to be stripped from the
- file names in each patch.
-
-
-
- prePatch
- Hook executed at the start of the patch
- phase.
-
-
-
- postPatch
- Hook executed at the end of the patch
- phase.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-The configure phase
-
-The configure phase prepares the source tree for building. The
-default configurePhase runs
-./configure (typically an Autoconf-generated
-script) if it exists.
-
-
- Variables controlling the configure phase
-
-
- configureScript
- The name of the configure script. It defaults to
- ./configure if it exists; otherwise, the
- configure phase is skipped. This can actually be a command (like
- perl ./Configure.pl).
-
-
-
- configureFlags
- A list of strings passed as additional arguments to the
- configure script.
-
-
-
- configureFlagsArray
- A shell array containing additional arguments
- passed to the configure script. You must use this instead of
- configureFlags if the arguments contain
- spaces.
-
-
-
- dontAddPrefix
- By default, the flag
- --prefix=$prefix is added to the configure
- flags. If this is undesirable, set this variable to
- true.
-
-
-
- prefix
- The prefix under which the package must be
- installed, passed via the option to the
- configure script. It defaults to
- .
-
-
-
- dontAddDisableDepTrack
- By default, the flag
- --disable-dependency-tracking is added to the
- configure flags to speed up Automake-based builds. If this is
- undesirable, set this variable to true.
-
-
-
- dontFixLibtool
- By default, the configure phase applies some
- special hackery to all files called ltmain.sh
- before running the configure script in order to improve the purity
- of Libtool-based packagesIt clears the
- sys_lib_*search_path
- variables in the Libtool script to prevent Libtool from using
- libraries in /usr/lib and
- such.. If this is undesirable, set this
- variable to true.
-
-
-
- dontDisableStatic
- By default, when the configure script has
- , the option
- is added to the configure flags.
- If this is undesirable, set this variable to
- true.
-
-
-
- configurePlatforms

-The build phase
-
-The build phase is responsible for actually building the package
-(e.g. compiling it). The default buildPhase
-simply calls make if a file named
-Makefile, makefile or
-GNUmakefile exists in the current directory (or
-the makefile is explicitly set); otherwise it does
-nothing.
-
-
- Variables controlling the build phase
-
-
- dontBuild
- Set to true to skip the build phase.
-
-
-
- makefile
- The file name of the Makefile.
-
-
-
- makeFlags
- A list of strings passed as additional flags to
- make. These flags are also used by the default
- install and check phase. For setting make flags specific to the
- build phase, use buildFlags (see below).
-

+
+
+ sourceRoot
+
+
+
+ After running unpackPhase, the generic builder
+ changes the current directory to the directory created by unpacking the
+ sources. If there are multiple source directories, you should set
+ sourceRoot to the name of the intended directory.
+
+
+
+
+ setSourceRoot
+
+
+
+ Alternatively to setting sourceRoot, you can set
+ setSourceRoot to a shell command to be evaluated by
+ the unpack phase after the sources have been unpacked. This command must
+ set sourceRoot.

+ dontMakeSourcesWritable
+
+
+
+ If set to 1, the unpacked sources are

+ writable to prevent problems with read-only sources. For example, copied
+ store directories would be read-only without this.
+
+
+
+
+ unpackCmd
+
+
+
+ The unpack phase evaluates the string $unpackCmd for
+ any unrecognised file. The path to the current source file is contained
+ in the curSrc variable.

+ The patch phase
+
+
+ The patch phase applies the list of patches defined in the

+
+
+
+
+ patchFlags

+
+
+
+ Variables controlling the configure phase
+
+ configureScript

+ dontAddPrefix
+
+
+
+ By default, the flag --prefix=$prefix is added to the
+ configure flags. If this is undesirable, set this variable to true.
+
+
+
+
+ prefix
+
+
+
+ The prefix under which the package must be installed, passed via the
+ option to the configure script. It defaults to
+ .
+
+
+
+
+ dontAddDisableDepTrack
+
+
+
+ By default, the flag --disable-dependency-tracking is
+ added to the configure flags to speed up Automake-based builds. If this
+ is undesirable, set this variable to true.
+
+
+
+
+ dontFixLibtool
+
+
+
+ By default, the configure phase applies some special hackery to all
+ files called ltmain.sh before running the configure
+ script in order to improve the purity of Libtool-based packages
+
+
+ It clears the
+ sys_lib_*search_path
+ variables in the Libtool script to prevent Libtool from using
+ libraries in /usr/lib and such.
+
+
+ . If this is undesirable, set this variable to true.
+
+
+
+
+ dontDisableStatic
+
+
+

+ The Setup hook mechanism is a bit of a sledgehammer though: a powerful
+ feature with a broad and indiscriminate area of effect. The combination of
+ its power and implicit use may be expedient, but isn't without costs. Nix
+ itself is unchanged, but the spirit of adding dependencies being effect-free
+ is violated even if the letter isn't. For example, if a derivation path is
+ mentioned more than once, Nix itself doesn't care and simply makes sure the
+ dependency derivation is already built just the same—depending is just
+ needing something to exist, and needing is idempotent. However, a dependency
+ specified twice will have its setup hook run twice, and that could easily
+ change the build environment (though a well-written setup hook will
+ therefore strive to be idempotent so this is in fact not observable). More
+ broadly, setup hooks are anti-modular in that multiple dependencies, whether
+ the same or different, should not interfere and yet their setup hooks may
+ well do so.
+
+
+ The most typical use of the setup hook is actually to add other hooks which
+ are then run (i.e. after all the setup hooks) on each dependency. For
+ example, the C compiler wrapper's setup hook feeds itself flags for each
+ dependency that contains relevant libaries and headers. This is done by
+ defining a bash function, and appending its name to one of
+ envBuildBuildHooks`, envBuildHostHooks`,
+ envBuildTargetHooks`, envHostHostHooks`,

- Bintools Wrapper wraps the binary utilities for a bunch of miscellaneous purposes.
- These are GNU Binutils when targetting Linux, and a mix of cctools and GNU binutils for Darwin.
- [The "Bintools" name is supposed to be a compromise between "Binutils" and "cctools" not denoting any specific implementation.]
- Specifically, the underlying bintools package, and a C standard library (glibc or Darwin's libSystem, just for the dynamic loader) are all fed in, and dependency finding, hardening (see below), and purity checks for each are handled by Bintools Wrapper.
- Packages typically depend on CC Wrapper, which in turn (at run time) depends on Bintools Wrapper.

- Bintools Wrapper was only just recently split off from CC Wrapper, so the division of labor is still being worked out.
- For example, it shouldn't care about about the C standard library, but just take a derivation with the dynamic loader (which happens to be the glibc on linux).
- Dependency finding however is a task both wrappers will continue to need to share, and probably the most important to understand.
- It is currently accomplished by collecting directories of host-platform dependencies (i.e. buildInputs and nativeBuildInputs) in environment variables.
- Bintools Wrapper's setup hook causes any lib and lib64 subdirectories to be added to NIX_LDFLAGS.
- Since CC Wrapper and Bintools Wrapper use the same strategy, most of the Bintools Wrapper code is sparsely commented and refers to CC Wrapper.
- But CC Wrapper's code, by contrast, has quite lengthy comments.
- Bintools Wrapper merely cites those, rather than repeating them, to avoid falling out of sync.

- A final task of the setup hook is defining a number of standard environment variables to tell build systems which executables full-fill which purpose.
- They are defined to just be the base name of the tools, under the assumption that Bintools Wrapper's binaries will be on the path.
- Firstly, this helps poorly-written packages, e.g. ones that look for just gcc when CC isn't defined yet clang is to be used.
- Secondly, this helps packages not get confused when cross-compiling, in which case multiple Bintools Wrappers may simultaneously be in use.
-
- Each wrapper targets a single platform, so if binaries for multiple platforms are needed, the underlying binaries must be wrapped multiple times.
- As this is a property of the wrapper itself, the multiple wrappings are needed whether or not the same underlying binaries can target multiple platforms.

- BUILD_- and TARGET_-prefixed versions of the normal environment variable are defined for the additional Bintools Wrappers, properly disambiguating them.

- A problem with this final task is that Bintools Wrapper is honest and defines LD as ld.
- Most packages, however, firstly use the C compiler for linking, secondly use LD anyways, defining it as the C compiler, and thirdly, only so define LD when it is undefined as a fallback.
- This triple-threat means Bintools Wrapper will break those packages, as LD is already defined as the actual linker which the package won't override yet doesn't want to use.
- The workaround is to define, just for the problematic package, LD as the C compiler.
- A good way to do this would be preConfigure = "LD=$CC".

-Extensible Option
- Types

- Extensible option types is a feature that allow to extend certain types
- declaration through multiple module files.
- This feature only work with a restricted set of types, namely
- enum and submodules and any composed
- forms of them.
-
- Extensible option types can be used for enum options
- that affects multiple modules, or as an alternative to related
- enable options.
-
- As an example, we will take the case of display managers. There is a
- central display manager module for generic display manager options and a
- module file per display manager backend (slim, sddm, gdm ...).

-
-The only required parameter is name.

- definition
- Description of the type used in documentation. Give
- information of the type and any of its arguments.

- A function to type check the definition value. Takes the
- definition value as a parameter and returns a boolean indicating the
- type check result, true for success and
- false for failure.
-
-
- merge
- A function to merge multiple definitions values. Takes two
- parameters:
-
-
- loc
- The option path as a list of strings, e.g.
- ["boot" "loader "grub"
- "enable"].
-
-
- defs
- The list of sets of defined value
- and file where the value was defined, e.g.
- [ { file = "/foo.nix"; value = 1; } { file = "/bar.nix";
- value = 2 } ]. The merge function
- should return the merged value or throw an error in case the
- values are impossible or not meant to be merged.

-
- getSubOptions
- For composed types that can take a submodule as type
- parameter, this function generate sub-options documentation. It takes
- the current option prefix as a list and return the set of sub-options.
- Usually defined in a recursive manner by adding a term to the prefix,
- e.g. prefix: elemType.getSubOptions (prefix ++

- parameter, this function should return the type parameters submodules.
- If the type parameter is called elemType, the
- function should just recursively look into submodules by returning
- elemType.getSubModules;.
-
-
- substSubModules
- For composed types that can take a submodule as type
- parameter, this function can be used to substitute the parameter of a
- submodule type. It takes a module as parameter and return the type with
- the submodule options substituted. It is usually defined as a type
- function call with a recursive call to
- substSubModules, e.g for a type
- composedType that take an elemtype
- type parameter, this function should be defined as m:
- composedType (elemType.substSubModules m).
-
-
- typeMerge
- A function to merge multiple type declarations. Takes the
- type to merge functor as parameter. A
- null return value means that type cannot be
- merged.
-
-
- f
- The type to merge
- functor.
-
-
- Note: There is a generic defaultTypeMerge that
- work with most of value and composed types.
-
-
-
- functor
- An attribute set representing the type. It is used for type
- operations and has the following keys:
-
-
- type
- The type function.
-
-
- wrapped
- Holds the type parameter for composed types.
-
-
-
- payload
- Holds the value parameter for value types.
- The types that have a payload are the
- enum, separatedString and
- submodule types.
-
-
- binOp
- A binary operation that can merge the payloads of two
- same types. Defined as a function that take two payloads as
- parameters and return the payloads merged.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
+
+ Custom Types
+
+
+ Custom types can be created with the mkOptionType
+ function. As type creation includes some more complex topics such as
+ submodule handling, it is recommended to get familiar with
+ types.nix
+ code before creating a new type.
+
+
+
+ The only required parameter is name.
+
+
+
+
+ name
+
+
+
+ A string representation of the type function name.
+
+
+
+
+ definition
+
+
+
+ Description of the type used in documentation. Give information of the
+ type and any of its arguments.
+
+
+
+
+ check
+
+
+
+ A function to type check the definition value. Takes the definition value
+ as a parameter and returns a boolean indicating the type check result,
+ true for success and false for
+ failure.
+
+
+
+
+ merge
+
+
+
+ A function to merge multiple definitions values. Takes two parameters:
+
+
+
+ loc
+
+
+
+ The option path as a list of strings, e.g. ["boot" "loader
+ "grub" "enable"].
+
+
+
+
+ defs
+
+
+
+ The list of sets of defined value and
+ file where the value was defined, e.g. [ {
+ file = "/foo.nix"; value = 1; } { file = "/bar.nix"; value = 2 }
+ ]. The merge function should return the
+ merged value or throw an error in case the values are impossible or
+ not meant to be merged.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ getSubOptions
+
+
+
+ For composed types that can take a submodule as type parameter, this
+ function generate sub-options documentation. It takes the current option
+ prefix as a list and return the set of sub-options. Usually defined in a
+ recursive manner by adding a term to the prefix, e.g. prefix:
+ elemType.getSubOptions (prefix ++
+ ["prefix"]) where
+ "prefix" is the newly added prefix.
+
+
+
+
+ getSubModules
+
+
+
+ For composed types that can take a submodule as type parameter, this
+ function should return the type parameters submodules. If the type
+ parameter is called elemType, the function should just
+ recursively look into submodules by returning
+ elemType.getSubModules;.
+
+
+
+
+ substSubModules
+
+
+
+ For composed types that can take a submodule as type parameter, this
+ function can be used to substitute the parameter of a submodule type. It
+ takes a module as parameter and return the type with the submodule
+ options substituted. It is usually defined as a type function call with a
+ recursive call to substSubModules, e.g for a type
+ composedType that take an elemtype
+ type parameter, this function should be defined as m:
+ composedType (elemType.substSubModules m).
+
+
+
+
+ typeMerge
+
+
+
+ A function to merge multiple type declarations. Takes the type to merge
+ functor as parameter. A null return
+ value means that type cannot be merged.
+
+
+
+ f
+
+
+
+ The type to merge functor.

- want to continue on the terminal, you can use
- loadkeys to switch to your preferred keyboard layout.

- ip a). Networking is necessary for the

- first disable network-manager with

- To manually configure the wifi on the minimal installer, run
- wpa_supplicant -B -i interface -c <(wpa_passphrase 'SSID' 'key').

-Description
-
-This command installs NixOS in the file system mounted on

-in /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix. It performs
-the following steps:
-
-
-
- It copies Nix and its dependencies to
- /mnt/nix/store.
-
- It runs Nix in /mnt to build
- the NixOS configuration specified in
- /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
-
- It installs the GRUB boot loader on the device
- specified in the option
- (unless is specified),
- and generates a GRUB configuration file that boots into the NixOS
- configuration just installed.
-
- It prompts you for a password for the root account
- (unless is specified).
-
-
-

-Description
-
-This command updates the system so that it corresponds to the
-configuration specified in
-/etc/nixos/configuration.nix. Thus, every time
-you modify /etc/nixos/configuration.nix or any
-NixOS module, you must run nixos-rebuild to make
-the changes take effect. It builds the new system in
-/nix/store, runs its activation script, and stop
-and (re)starts any system services if needed.
-
-This command has one required argument, which specifies the
-desired operation. It must be one of the following:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Build and activate the new configuration, and make it the
- boot default. That is, the configuration is added to the GRUB
- boot menu as the default menu entry, so that subsequent reboots
- will boot the system into the new configuration. Previous
- configurations activated with nixos-rebuild
- switch or nixos-rebuild boot remain
- available in the GRUB menu.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Build the new configuration and make it the boot default
- (as with nixos-rebuild switch), but do not
- activate it. That is, the system continues to run the previous
- configuration until the next reboot.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Build and activate the new configuration, but do not add
- it to the GRUB boot menu. Thus, if you reboot the system (or if
- it crashes), you will automatically revert to the default
- configuration (i.e. the configuration resulting from the last
- call to nixos-rebuild switch or
- nixos-rebuild boot).

+ Previous versions of Nixpkgs had support for all versions of the LTS
Haskell package set. That support has been dropped. The previously provided
haskell.packages.lts-x_y package sets still exist in
name to aviod breaking user code, but these package sets don't actually
contain the versions mandated by the corresponding LTS release. Instead,
our package set it loosely based on the latest available LTS release, i.e.
LTS 7.x at the time of this writing. New releases of NixOS and Nixpkgs will
- drop those old names entirely. The
motivation for this change has been discussed at length on the
- nix-dev mailing list and in Github issue
- #14897. Development strategies for Haskell hackers who want to rely

- as recommended by systemd and are unified across different places in
- NixOS. Mount options are updated during nixos-rebuild

- security — most such filesystems are now mounted with
- noexec, nodev and/or

-
- The reverse path filter was interfering with DHCPv4 server

+Client authorization and TLS
+
+By default, any user who can connect to a FoundationDB process with the
+correct cluster configuration can access anything. FoundationDB uses a
+pluggable design to transport security, and out of the box it supports a
+LibreSSL-based plugin for TLS support. This plugin not only does in-flight
+encryption, but also performs client authorization based on the given
+endpoint's certificate chain. For example, a FoundationDB server may be
+configured to only accept client connections over TLS, where the client TLS
+certificate is from organization Acme Co in the
+Research and Development unit.
+
+Configuring TLS with FoundationDB is done using the
+ options in order to control the peer
+verification string, as well as the certificate and its private key.
+
+Note that the certificate and its private key must be accessible to the
+FoundationDB user account that the server runs under. These files are also NOT
+managed by NixOS, as putting them into the store may reveal private
+information.
+
+After you have a key and certificate file in place, it is not enough to
+simply set the NixOS module options -- you must also configure the
+fdb.cluster file to specify that a given set of coordinators
+use TLS. This is as simple as adding the suffix :tls to your
+cluster coordinator configuration, after the port number. For example, assuming
+you have a coordinator on localhost with the default configuration, simply
+specifying:
+
+
+XXXXXX:XXXXXX@127.0.0.1:4500:tls
+
+
+will configure all clients and server processes to use TLS from now
+on.
