When `py.test` was run with a folder as argument, it would not only
search for tests in that folder, but also create a .pytest-cache folder.
Not only is this state we don't want, but it was also causing
collisions.
The setup.py of `python-package` contains some path resolution magic to
find `libxgboost.so` which is needed for the python API.
Unfortunately the code is incompatible with Nix as it isn't compatible
with the store-based structure for each package and tries to express the
location of the shared object with relative paths.
The detection in `setup.py` and `xgboost/libpath.py` has been either
removed entirely or patched to link to the proper store path of the
`libxgboost` build input.
See https://hydra.nixos.org/build/77702715 for further reference.
76999cc40e changed some hashes resulting in this PR being technically
a mass rebuild. To avoid this, I am restoring some of the hashes (even
though it seems silly). My main goal is to get this PR merged quickly
as treewide changes like this get out-of-date quickly.
This commit should be reverted on the next mass rebuild.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
According to the current convention python packages should live in
`pkgs/development/python-modules`. As I altered the `graphite_api`
expression previously in d3d1b88873 I decided to move it as well.
Additionally I applied some minor refactorings:
* use `fetchFromGitHub` instead of `fetchgit`.
* use `checkInputs` for test dependencies
* got rid of fixed points
* applied patch which supports flask-caching to 1.3.1 using `git apply
-3`
