For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, sift does not build on OSX.
I think it is because sift uses cgo for some of its functionality which you can
see here:
https://github.com/svent/sift/blob/master/matching_cgo.go#L23
The error which hydra found (and is reproducible on OSX) can be seen here:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/37169149
Ideally I would like to get sift building on OSX, however my nix-fu is weak.
Any suggestions are welcome. In the meantime I would like to get sift into one
of the release channels for Linux where it works fine.
New:
- compression format specification zstd_compression_format.md
- -- separator, stating that all following arguments are file names
- ZSTD_getDecompressedSize()
Fixes:
- dictBuilder using HC levels
- legacy support from ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict()
- multi-blocks decoding with intermediate uncompressed blocks
- currently pulled in from Git until the next release of PackageKit
has Nix support
- also: add in a service module to start packagekit properly
- nixos service can be enabled via services.packagekit.enable
- packagekit requires nixunstable to build properly
youtube-dl: 2016.06.27 -> 2016.07.03.1
`mps-youtube` is the only package that fails in `nox-review`, but this wat true before this merge. I have tested the updated result of `youtube-dl`. All fine for me.
Fixes:
- ZSTD_decompressBlock() using multiple consecutive blocks.
- potential segfault on very large files (many gigabytes).
- CLI displays system error message when destination file
cannot be created.
- potential leak in zdict.
Switch off HAVE_SAVED_UIDS since it activates a code path for temporary
privilege dropping which does not work on NixOS.
Vixie-cron's sources ship with two implementations. Unfortunately, the
one activated by HAVE_SAVED_UIDS (using setuid()) does not work on
NixOS. Saved UIDs work only if the program which is using them has the
setuid bit set on its own executable, not if called from a setuid
wrapper (as we do it in NixOS). The other implementation (using
setreuid()) works without problems.
Quote from
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8499296/realuid-saved-uid-effective-uid-whats-going-on>:
If you're euid is root and you change the uid, the privileges gets
dropped permanently.If effective user id is not root then saved user
id is never touched and you can regain the root privilege back
anytime you want in your program.
Also extend the default PATH with NixOS-specific bin directories as
vixie-cron's default is not really usable on NixOS.
Re #16518Closes#16522
* Add missing modules (fixes warnings and errors).
* Step 1 to unbreak starting Xvfb by making xpra invoke it with
valid log dir ($HOME/.xpra). Without this fix, it is invoked with
~/.xpra, which Xvfb doesn't know how to interpret and uses it
literally (fail). Step 2 will be fixing an Xvfb permission issue:
"xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 1 (Permission denied)".
* Use XPRA_INSTALL_PREFIX to make it find its icons.
Commit 03353ce6ff ("system-config-printer: 1.3.12 -> 1 5.7")
forgot to update the hash. So since that commit we actually continued to
use the old version (1.3.12) because of the NixOS tarball cache...
The new version prints some warnings on startup:
/nix/store/HASH-system-config-printer-1.5.7/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:32: \
PyGIWarning: Polkit was imported without specifying a version first. \
Use gi.require_version('Polkit', '1.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import Polkit
...and similar errors for GdkPixbuf, Gdk, Gtk and Notify. These warnings
are already fixed upstream and will be part of the next release.
Implementation details:
* The new version needs python3.
* Remove unneeded, and python3 incompatible, 'notify' dependency.
system-config-printer > 1.3.12 replaced it with GOBject introspection
bindings to libnotify (from gi.repository import Notify).
* Add gtk3, gdk_pixbuf, pango, atk, libnotify as needed (for gobject
introspection).
* A new --with-udevdir configure option is used to prevent the
installer from trying to install stuff to "/rules.d" (yes, the root).
* Get pycups from the passed pythonPackages set (fixes loading of
python cups module).
* Use pygobject3 instead of pygobject, as needed.
* Use dbus from the passed pythonPackages attrset instead of
pythonDBus, so we get a python3 compatible module that loads
successfully.
* Python requests2 modules is required.
