Because dates are an impurity, by default buildImage will use a static
date of one second past the UNIX Epoch. This can be a bit frustrating
when listing docker images in the CLI:
$ docker image list
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
hello latest 08c791c7846e 48 years ago 25.2MB
If you want to trade the purity for a better user experience, you can
set created to now.
pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage {
name = "hello";
tag = "latest";
created = "now";
contents = pkgs.hello;
config.Cmd = [ "/bin/hello" ];
}
and now the Docker CLI will display a reasonable date and sort the
images as expected:
$ docker image list
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE

This commit adds test based on real-world crates (brotli).
There were a few more edge cases that were missing beforehand. Also it
turned out that we can get rid of the `finalBins` list since that will
now be handled during runtime.
The build expression got quiet large over time and to make it a bit
easier to grasp the different scripts involved in the build are now
separated from the nix file.
Cargo has a few odd (old) ways of picking source files if the `bin.path`
attribute isn't given in the Cargo.toml. This commit adds support for
some of those. The previous behaviour always defaulted to `src/main.rs`
which was not always the right choice.
Since there is look-ahead into the unpacked sources before running the
actual builder the path selection logic has to be embedded within the
build script.
`buildRustCrate` currently supports two ways of running building
binaries when processing a crate:
- Explicit definition of all the binaries (& optionally the paths to
their respective `main.rs`) and,
- if not binary was explictly configured all files matching the patterns
`src/main.rs`, `src/bin/*.rs`.
When the explicit list is given without path information paths are now
being picked from a list of candidates. The first match wins. The order
is the same as within the cargo compatibility code.
If the crate does not provide any libraries the path `src/{bin_name}.rs`
is also considered.
All underscores within the binary names are translated into dashes (`-`)
before the lookups are made. This seems to be a common convention.
Previously the Release.xz URL would show up with a new hash whenever
debian releases an update. By using archive.org we should have a stable
source for those. I wasn't able to find the equivalent in the debian
world. Maybe they don't keep all the different Release files around..
Introduce a `skawarePackages.buildPackage` function that contains the
common setup, removing a lot of duplication.
In particular, we require that the build directory has to be empty
after the `fixupPhase`, to make sure every relevant file is moved to
the outputs.
A next step would be to deduplicate the `configureFlags` attributes
and only require a `skawareInputs` field.
There's no reason `linkFarm` can't be used for symlinks in
subdirectories, except that currently it doesn't ensure the directory
of the link exists. This backwards-compatible change expands the utility
of the function.
