@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
Kept 1.42 around for Thunderbird.
i686-apple-darwin is no longer supported upstream. We could still
support building it, for this one release, since we have the binary
for the previous release, (or bootstrap it for future releases from
Rust 1.42,) but since this release is the one that drops support, I
think it makes sense to do it now. (And probably nobody is using it
anyway.)
We've already worked around failing stat() calls in the installer by
running it in qemu-user. Turns out on some systems this workaround is
also needed to run `wlib', the archiver of the Open Watcom toolchain.
This issue manifested itself in broken VirtualBox builds due to
/build/virtualbox/out/linux.amd64/dbgopt/obj/VBoxPcBios32/pci32.obj
not being found by `wlib'.
We now just wrap all binaries in qemu-user to avoid this.
Everything is copied as-is from 9 (except version and hash).
Some platform-specific patches might not apply anymore;
I'm lazily leaving that for the community to fix.
The nss update is needed for security update of firefox.
For linux platforms only about 1k aarch64 rebuilds are missing;
the diff on Hydra looks OK. Darwin needs 20k more rebuilds,
but I don't think we want to wait for that.
This option can be used to set the “jit” language which enable the
libgccjit functionality. Also adds a “libgccjit” attr which is gcc
built with just jit enabled.
libgccjit is a library but is used as a compiler. So it references a
bunch of compiler things in $out. To avoid a cycle, we need to put
everything in $out, so referenced to $lib need to be replaced with
${!outputLib}.
Some elm packages (eg. https://github.com/NoRedInk/elm-simple-fuzzy/ ) have a Makefile which the standard builder tries to build and fails because of missing dependencies. This change forces a no-op configure and build phase to avoid such a situation.
