Use example package `zerobin` instead of `bepasty-server` which
is no longer part of python-packages.
This fixes the examples for current nixpkgs versions.
1. Use the same approach like in the overlay example:
Override `python` instead of `pythonPackages` so that
`python.pkgs` refers to the new package set like `pythonPackages`.
This also fixes a bug in the original example where
`pkgs.fetchgit` was not in scope.
Add an extra example to illustrate how to override just a
package set.
2. Fix mix-up between `super` and `self` in the explanation text.
Also, simplify the explanation.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.

- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
This script is used to automatically fix issues within xml documentation
files.
The script is *for now* intended to be used ad-hoc, and the commits to
be examined.
A future discussion will define whether:
* This commit and scripts are kept.
* The script is extended for common use.
The biggest issue right now with the script is that it *could* in theory
destroy a valid space-less varlistentry.
The script could, in practical use, be changed and extended to normalize
some parts of the XML files, mainly:
* A common quoting style for attributes
* Fix-up some weird formatting automatically that xmlformat doesn't
catch
This fixes a regression introduced in 4b06383.

Relevant section: 9.5.2.3. How to install a compiler with libraries, hoogle and documentation indexes
Since version 5 `hoogle server`s --local flag solves the problem with links from
`http:` to `file:` URIs:
hoogle server --local -p 8080
As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745
the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to
`nixos/version` which implicates the following changes:
* `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release`
* `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix`
* `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version`
As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`,
`NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause
a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with
a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
Note that a bunch of non-python packages use this attribute already.
Some of those are clearly unaware of the fact that this attribute does
not exists in stdenv because they define it but don't to add it to
their `bulidInputs` :)
Also note that I use `buildInputs` here and only handle regular
builds because python and haskell builders do it this way and I'm not
sure how to properly handle the cross-compilation case.
Setting haskell.packageOverrides like so:
haskell = super.haskell // {
packageOverrides = self: super: {
my-package = ...;
my-other-package = ...;
};
};
causes all compiler-specific package sets to be overridden with those
overrides.

nixos/nixpkgs docs CSS
- Moves our custom Highlight.js loader in to
the hljs package
- Switches the nixos docs to use SVG
callouts too
Nobody has stepped up to keep maintaining this and it's several
years old, and the last strict Java 7 dependency, as it won't work
with newer versions without an update.

* trying to build emscriptenPackages not all fail
* reading the console.log it turns out python executable is not in place and that is why emconfigure didnt work
* backup commit
* much more targets are compiling now
* added common revisioning

Resolved the following conflicts (by carefully applying patches from the both
branches since the fork point):
pkgs/development/libraries/epoxy/default.nix
pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/3.x.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/asgiref/default.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/daphne/default.nix
pkgs/os-specific/linux/systemd/default.nix
This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
Existing "mips64el" should be "mipsel".
This is just the barest minimum so that nixpkgs can recognize them as
systems - although required for building individual derivations onto
MIPS boards, it is not sufficient if you want to actually build nixos on
those targets
I originally wrote this for packaging proprietary games in Vuizvui[1]
but I thought it would be generally useful as we have a fair amount of
proprietary software lurking around in nixpkgs, which are a bit tedious
to maintain, especially when the library dependencies change after an
update.
So this setup hook searches for all ELF executables and libraries in the
resulting output paths after install phase and uses patchelf to set the
RPATH and interpreter according to what dependencies are available
inside the builder.
For example consider something like this:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
nativeBuildInputs = [ autoPatchelfHook ];
buildInputs = [ mesa zlib ];
...
}
Whenever for example an executable requires mesa or zlib, the RPATH will
automatically be set to the lib dir of the corresponding dependency.
If the library dependency is required at runtime, an attribute called
runtimeDependencies can be used to list dependencies that are added to
all executables that are discovered unconditionally.
Beside this, it also makes initial packaging of proprietary software
easier, because one no longer has to manually figure out the
dependencies in the first place.

Closes: #34506
I hope this will be a temporary measure. If there is consensus around
issue #33599, then we can follow an explicit `dontCheck`, but default to
not checking during cross builds when none is given.
