There is no maintainer for this package, probably not many users.
It requires effort to fix all third-party modules for this old kernel
versions. It might contain unpatched security holes.
For Pixel chromebooks, we have the samus-kernel.
Apart from that https://github.com/GalliumOS/linux might be a good choice.
This change statically links the `dhall-*` family of executables so that
they start up more quickly on NixOS. This also updates the `dhallToNix`
utility to use the statically linked `dhall-to-nix` executable
It's now the default. /cc #19456
This makes a real build simplification, because in our current
bootstrapping+aliases, `gcc6` attribute is not the default compiler
but a derivation *built by* the default compiler.
nix-exec didn't build before this commit already
The latest release of libyamlcpp in nixpkgs does not build because it
uses an older version of boost than the one in nixpkgs and therefore
expects a particular header file which does not exist in the latest
boost anymore. For this reason, a later (git) version of libyamlcpp is
used here (which actually doesn't even require boost).
The substituteInPlace in the prePatch phase is needed because libevdev
places its headers in non-standard places, meaning Nix cannot normally
find them. The `cut` command removes the first two "-I" characters from
the output of `pkg-config`. This needs to be in the prePatch phase
because otherwise Nix will patch these lines to `/var/empty`, meaning
you would have less specific replacement (in case other lines are also
patched to `/var/empty`).
I wrote the patch. (I believe it is NixOS specific.)
Currently the closure-size difference between `ghostscript` and
`ghostscriptX` was ~140 vs. ~142 MB, which was wasteful, as the output
itself is ~40 MB. (x86_64-linux)
Also make ghostscriptX the full derivation, including CUPS support.
I wrote the patch. Unfortunately it's Nix specific because upstream
rejected it because Ubuntu Trusty's version of realpath doesn't seem to
have the `--relative-to` option. (Upstream used to use realpath before).
But for Nix, our version of realpath is recent enough. Also, upstream
will probably use realpath again anyway in May 2019 when Ubuntu Trusty
becomes unsupported, so this patch should probably be used.
