ea36f3b868 fetchFromGitHub: Use .tar.gz instead of .zip 
Also clean up the name attribute of fetchzip derivations a bit.
 2014-05-09 15:53:44 +02:00

c8df888858 Add a function "fetchzip" 
This function downloads and unpacks a file in one fixed-output
derivation. This is primarily useful for dynamically generated zip
files, such as GitHub's /archive URLs, where the unpacked content of
the zip file doesn't change, but the zip file itself may (e.g. due to
minor changes in the compression algorithm, or changes in timestamps).

Fetchzip is implemented by extending fetchurl with a "postFetch" hook
that is executed after the file has been downloaded. This hook can
thus perform arbitrary checks or transformations on the downloaded
file.

acba9240cd nixos.org/tarballs -> tarballs.nixos.org 
It's currently the same machine, but tarballs.nixos.org should become
an S3/CloudFront site eventually.

ae5664cc5e mirrors.nix: add http://backpan.perl.org/ for old CPAN modules 
It seems only the latest version of perl modules are in CPAN(?). The
BackPan claims to have a complete history of CPAN.

1670244f80 Merge branch 'vlada/xfce-notg' of git://github.com/vcunat/nixpkgs 
This branch refactors xfce and updates it to 4.10. I had been hoping to
find someone besides Vlada to test this (I don't use xfce), but no one
has come forward yet in 2 weeks so if this breaks something they can
make an issue or fix it. It all looks good by inspection.

45a2c87402 * Support for mirror:// URLs a la Gentoo (NIXPKGS-70). Instead of 
fetchurl {
      url = http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zapping/zapping-0.9.6.tar.bz2;
      md5 = "8306775c6a11de4d72345b5eee970ea6";
    };

  you can write

    fetchurl {
      url = mirror://sourceforge/zapping/zapping-0.9.6.tar.bz2;
      md5 = "8306775c6a11de4d72345b5eee970ea6";
    };

  which causes fetchurl to try the SourceForge mirrors listed in the
  `sourceforge' attribute in build-support/fetchurl/mirrors.nix.
  (They're currently tried in sequence, and the lists of mirrors are
  not configurable yet.)

  The syntax for mirror URLs is mirror://site/path/to/file, where
  `site' is currently one of `sourceforge', `gnu' (mirrors of
  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu) and `kernel' (mirrors of
  http://www.all.kernel.org/pub/).

50321b735b * Basic transparent mirror support in fetchurl (NIXPKGS-70). When 
fetching a file with hash HASH of type TYPE, we first try to
  download <base-url>/<type>/<hash>, where <base-url> is one of a list
  of mirrors.  For instance, given

    src = fetchurl {
      url = http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.6/source/firefox-2.0.0.6-source.tar.bz2;
      sha1 = "eb72f55e4a8bf08e8c6ef227c0ade3d068ba1082";
    };

  and the mirror list [http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs], we first
  try to download

    eb72f55e4a

  and if that fails, we use the original URL.

  The list of mirrors is not yet user-configurable.

* `fetchurl' now also accepts an argument `urls' instead of `url' for
  a list of alternative download locations, which fetchurl will try in
  sequence.

12ae5363ea * Remove trivial builders. 
* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
  execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
  `mkDerivation'.  These transformations were all done automatically,
  so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

5941f66f0e * The stdenv setup script now defines a generic builder that allows 
builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,

    . $stdenv/setup
    genericBuild

  The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:

  - Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
    gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
  - Determines the source tree.
  - Applies patches specified by $patches.
  - Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
  - Runs `configure'.
  - Runs `make'.
  - Runs `make install'.
  - Strips debug information from static libraries.
  - Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
    `log2xml').

  There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
  builder.  See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.

* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
  generic builder.

* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.

* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv.  We shouldn't
  encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).

* Updated some packages.

* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).

* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
  processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
  a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
  variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).

* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
  accepted by `log2xml'.  Also, prior to writing the build command,
  Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
  built.  This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
  invocations in many Makefiles.  The actual build commands are marked
  `unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
  `log2html'.
