luarocks defines by default the following mirrors:
83093e7da7/src/luarocks/core/cfg.lua (L205)
Let's add them to nixpkgs. I have modified luarocks-nix to generate the
proper nixpkgs urls.
I bump luarocks-nix in the following commits.
This is a new package that provides a shell hook to make it easy to
declare manpages and shell completions in a manner that doesn't require
remembering where to actually install them. Basic usage looks like
{ stdenv, installShellFiles, ... }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
# ...
nativeBuildInputs = [ installShellFiles ];
postInstall = ''
installManPage doc/foobar.1
installShellCompletion --bash share/completions/foobar.bash
installShellCompletion --fish share/completions/foobar.fish
installShellCompletion --zsh share/completions/_foobar
'';
# ...
}
See source comments for more details on the functions.
applyPatches applies a list of patches to a source directory.
For example to patch nixpkgs you can use:
applyPatches {
src = pkgs.path;
patches = [
(pkgs.fetchpatch {
url = "1f770d2055.patch";
sha256 = "1nlzx171y3r3jbk0qhvnl711kmdk57jlq4na8f8bs8wz2pbffymr";
})
];
}
There ver very many conflicts, basically all due to
name -> pname+version. Fortunately, almost everything was auto-resolved
by kdiff3, and for now I just fixed up a couple evaluation problems,
as verified by the tarball job. There might be some fallback to these
conflicts, but I believe it should be minimal.
Hydra nixpkgs: ?compare=1538299
They always can be regenerated during the actual build, and they are sometimes
random, e.g in Tensorflow;
platforms -> NIX_BUILD_TOP/tmp/install/35282f5123611afa742331368e9ae529/_embedded_binaries/platforms
This setup hook modifies a Perl script so that any "-I" flags in its shebang
line are rewritten into a "use lib ..." statement on the next line. This gets
around a limitation in Darwin, which will not properly handle a script whose
shebang line exceeds 511 characters.
Turns out markers are non-deterministic after all and even our patching still
doesn't solve this problem completely. For example (tensorflow deps, this is a
complete diff so actual dependencies don't differ):

And here's an example of differences:
$ cat result-a/@bazel_skylib.marker
7dc7472d37424ba5ec6a5532765bc911
$MANAGED
cat result-b/@bazel_skylib.marker
a8f3f577798201157128e8e9934c4705
$MANAGED
Instead of trying to patch these markers further we now completely clear them.
Nix hacks for ignoring markers are restored and expanded so that we don't even
attempt to parse the marker.
