With the recent update of BusyBox to version 1.29.0 in
d6aa506e3b there is now a new dependency
on libresolv.
This now throws a runtime error when executing ash, eg. whenever we do
something like this:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; vmTools.runInLinuxVM hello'
The resulting error will be:
.../ash: error while loading shared libraries: libresolv.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to override BusyBox with enableStatic, but that still requires
parts of glibc:
Static linking against glibc, can't use --gc-sections
Trying libraries: crypt m resolv
Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Final link with: m resolv
In the long term maybe switching to a more minimal C library such as
musl would make more sense, but for now I just added libresolv.so to the
initrd which fixes the runtime error.

All package sets are simultaneously updated to accommodate changes to
package-build. Due to new restrictions in package-build, all packages using
`melpaBuild` must now provide a recipe file, even those packages which are not
included in upstream MELPA.
So far the runtimeDependencies variable has been rather useless unless
you also set dontPatchelf, because the patchelf setup hook ran *after*
the autoPatchelfHook and thus stripped off the additional RPATHs added
using runtimeDependencies.
I did this by moving the autoPatchelfHook to be run in postFixup instead
of fixupOutput, however I needed to replicate the for loop that runs the
hook on all outputs.
Until we have a way to influence order of execution for hooks I've
marked this with an XXX so that we can use fixupOutput again.
Tested this against all packages that use autoPatchelfHook using the
following and checking whether the output contains any errors concerning
shared libraries:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. { config.allowUnfree = true; };
runCommand "test-executables" {
drvs = [
masterpdfeditor franz zoom-us anydesk teamviewer maxx
oracle-instantclient cups-kyodialog3 virtlyst powershell
];
} "for i in $drvs; do for b in $i/bin/*; do \"$b\" || :; done; done"

This might also happen when pulling a patch from GitHub or a similar web
interface without explicitly selecting the "raw" format.
Excludes and includes are implemented by passing the parameters to the
respective flags of `filterdiff`. Those were passed unescaped until now.
Since those flags expect patterns (similar to shell globs), something
like `/some/path/*` might be used to exclude or include all files in
some path. Without escaping the shell would expand the `*`, leading to
unexpected behaviour.
This commit was originally introduced as part of #41420 and then
reverted with the rest of that PR. However there was no reason to revert
his particular commit.
docker-tools tests load images without specifying any tag
value. Docker then uses the image with tag "latest" which doesn't
exist anymore since commit 39e678e24e.
In particular, this contains Firefox-related and libgcrypt updates.
Other larger rebuilds would apparently need lots of time to catch up
on Hydra, due to nontrivial rebuilds in other branches than staging.
A .la file specifies linker flags to link with the library it describes. Its
"dependency_libs" field lists the libraries that this library depends upon.
This list often contains "-l" flags without corresponding "-L" flags. Many
packages in Nixpkgs deal with this in one of these ways:
- delete .la file [1]
- clear dependency_libs [2]
- add -L flags to dependency_libs [3]
- propagate dependencies [4]
Sometimes "dependency_libs" contain wrong "-L" flags pointing to the "dev"
output with headers rather than to the main output with libraries. They have to
be edited or deleted to reduce closure size [5].
Deleting .la files is often but not always safe [6]. Atomatically deleting as
many of them as possible is complex [7]. Deleting .la files that describe
shared rather than static libraries is probably safe; but clearing their
"dependency_libs" field achieves the same effect with less potential for
unintended consequences. This is the approach that may be enabled for all
Nixpkgs.

If there is a shared object or executable that's using
position-independent code, the file's mime type is
"application/x-pie-executable", so until this change its dependencies
wouldn't be patched.
This simply adds the mime type to the search loop.

Attributes `imageName` and `imageTag` are exposed if the image is
built by our Nix tools but not if the image is pulled. So, we expose
these attributes for convenience and homogeneity.
Skopeo used by our docker tools was patched to work in the build
sandbox (it used /var/tmp which is not available in the sandbox).
Since this temporary directory can now be set at build time, we remove
the patch from our docker tools.
The extraCommands was, previously, simply put in the body of the script
using nix expansion `${extraCommands}` (which looks exactly like bash
expansion!).
This causes issues like in #34779 where scripts will eventually create
invalid bash.
The solution is to use a script like `run-as-root`.

Fixes#34779
The hack of using `crossConfig` to enforce stricter handling of
dependencies is replaced with a dedicated `strictDeps` for that purpose.
(Experience has shown that my punning was a terrible idea that made more
difficult and embarrising to teach teach.)
Now that is is clear, a few packages now use `strictDeps`, to fix
various bugs:
- bintools-wrapper and cc-wrapper
Regression introduced in 736848723e.
This commit most certainly hasn't been tested with sandboxing enabled
and breaks not only pullImage but also the docker-tools NixOS VM test
because it doesn't find it's certificate path and also relies on
/var/tmp being there.
Fixing the certificate path is the easiest one because it can be done
via environment variable.
I've used overrideAttrs for changing the hardcoded path to /tmp (which
is available in sandboxed builds and even hardcoded in Nix), so that
whenever someone uses Skopeo from all-packages.nix the path is still
/var/tmp.
The reason why this is hardcoded to /var/tmp can be seen in a comment in
vendor/github.com/containers/image/storage/storage_image.go:
Do not use the system default of os.TempDir(), usually /tmp, because
with systemd it could be a tmpfs.
With sandboxed builds this isn't the case, however for using Nix without
NixOS this could turn into a problem if this indeed is the case.
So in the long term this needs to have a proper solution.
In addition to that, I cleaned up the expression a bit.
Tested by building dockerTools.examples.nixFromDockerHub and the
docker-tools NixOS VM test.

The script would parse the output of `git submodule status` but
didn't handle paths with spaces in them. This would result in the
following error when trying to determine the URL of the submodule:
error: key does not contain a section: .url
* fetchs3: add configurable name
Change the default from "foo" to the basename of the s3 URL and make it
configurable.
* fetchs3: fix error on missing credentials.session_token
The session token should default to null instead of failing
* fetchs3: make use of the region argument
Set it to null if you don't want to use it
* fetchs3: prefer local build
Fetcher-types spend more time on network than CPU
Skopeo is used to pull images from a Docker registry (instead of a
Docker deamon in a VM).
An image reference is specified with its name and its digest which is
an immutable image identifier (unlike image name and tag).
Skopeo can be used to get the digest of an image, for instance:
$ skopeo inspect docker://docker.io/nixos/nix:1.11 | jq -r '.Digest'
... binutils and gcc add it already anyway.
Without this it's easy to get cross-toolchain paths longer than 256
chars and nix-daemon will then fail to commit them to /nix/store on XFS.
Following legacy packing conventions, `isArm` was defined just for
32-bit ARM instruction set. This is confusing to non packagers though,
because Aarch64 is an ARM instruction set.
The official ARM overview for ARMv8[1] is surprisingly not confusing,
given the overall state of affairs for ARM naming conventions, and
offers us a solution. It divides the nomenclature into three levels:
```
ISA: ARMv8 {-A, -R, -M}
/ \
Mode: Aarch32 Aarch64
| / \
Encoding: A64 A32 T32
```
At the top is the overall v8 instruction set archicture. Second are the
two modes, defined by bitwidth but differing in other semantics too, and
buttom are the encodings, (hopefully?) isomorphic if they encode the
same mode.
The 32 bit encodings are mostly backwards compatible with previous
non-Thumb and Thumb encodings, and if so we can pun the mode names to
instead mean "sets of compatable or isomorphic encodings", and then
voilà we have nice names for 32-bit and 64-bit arm instruction sets
which do not use the word ARM so as to not confused either laymen or
experienced ARM packages.
