- API change: remove the `target` argument of `buildRustPackage`, the
target should always be in sync with the C/C++ compiler that is used.
- Gathering of binaries has moved from `buildPhase` to `installPhase`,
this simplifies the hook and orders this functionality logically
with the installation logic.
This caused shebangs that were already store paths to be rewritten.

Example difference:
$ echo "hello world" | tail -c+3
llo world
$ str="hello world"; echo ${str:3}
lo world
/usr/bin/env seems to be no longer be present in the sandbox. This means
that fetchcvs would fail with a “not found error” whenever CVS_RSH was
necessary.
We fix this by simply setting the current $SHELL as shebang.
Alternatively also setting it to /bin/sh statically would be possible.
4a5c49363a added some more commands after
`extraPostFetch` but concatenated them without a separating newline.
Which means, that since that commit
fetchzip { ..., extraPostFetch = ''rm -f "$out"/some-file''; }
now actually runs the following shell command
rm -f "$out"/some-file"chmod -R a-w "$out"
thus deleting "$out". Which is very unfortunate.
Especially since this actually happens on master for all `fetchFromBitbucket`
derivations. But since the results are fixed-output users bulding with hydra
cache enabled are not hitting this for not recently updated derivations yet.
The Everthing module is not part of a library and should therefore
not be copied to the nix store.
This is particularly bad, if the Everything module is defined in
an agda library included directory, e.g. consider an agda-lib with
include: .
and Everything.agda in the project root (.), in which case the
Everything module would become part of the library.
If multiple such projects are in the dependency tree, the Everything
module becomes ambiguous and the build would fail.
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.
This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.
`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.
The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Since fdf32154fc, we no longer allow
missing modules in the initrd. Unfortunately since before this commit,
the modules-closure script would also fail on missing firmware, which
is a very common case (e.g. xhci-pci.ko.xz lists renesas_usb_fw.mem as
dependent firmware). Fix this by only issuing a warning instead.
This was already fixed on non-Darwin, but the fix missed that it was
also reintroduced for the Darwin code path at the same time.

Warning about future breaking changes is wrong.
- It suggests that the maintainers don't value backwards compatibility.
They do.
- It implies that other parts of Nixpkgs won't ever break. They will.
- It implies that a well-defined "public" interface exists. It doesn't.
- If the reasons above didn't apply, it should have been in the manual
instead.
Breaking changes will come, especially to the interface. That can be the
only way we can make progress without breaking the image _contents_.
I don't think dockerTools is any different from most of Nixpkgs in
these regards.
`buildRustPackage` currently accepts `cargoSha256` as a hash for
vendored dependencies. This change adds `cargoHash` which accepts SRI
hashes, setting `outputHashAlgo` to `null`.
The hash mismatch message still uses `cargoSha256` as an example,
which it probably should until we completely switch to SRI hashes.
By default, Perl versions since 5.8.1 use randomization to make hashes
resistant to complexity attacks.
That randomization makes building VM images such as ubuntu1804x86_64
non-deterministic because the (imported) derivations built by
deb/deb-closure.pl are not stable.
This can easily be observed by repeating the following sequence of
commands and noting the path of the image's .drv:
nix-instantiate -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).vmTools.diskImageFuns.ubuntu1804x86_64 {}'
nix-store --delete /nix/store/*ubuntu-18.04-bionic-amd64.nix
One source of non-determinism is the handling of Provides/Replaces,
which depends on the order of iteration over %packages. Here is a
diff showing the corresponding change in output:
>>> awk
-virtual awk: using original-awk
- original-awk: libc6 (>= 2.14)
+virtual awk: using mawk
+ mawk: libc6 (>= 2.14)
- mawk: libc6 (>= 2.14)
->>> libc6
This patch sorts packages by name for Provides/Replaces processing,
which seems to result in stable output.
(If the above turns out not to be sufficient, one could also set the
PERL_HASH_SEED and PERL_PERTURB_KEYS environment variables, documented
in 'perlrun', to disable Perl's built-in randomization. Complexity
attacks are not an issue as we control and trust all inputs.)
Using the full store hash as the random seed occasionally caused
reference cycles when the invocation was stored in output artifacts.
For example, cross-compiled gcc was failing due to this:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1631713#tabs-now-fail
Simply truncating the hash is sufficient to avoid this.
When invoking a simple Ada program with `gcc` from `gnats10`, the
following warnings are shown:
```
$ gcc -c conftest.adb
gnat1: warning: command-line option ‘-Wformat=1’ is valid for C/C++/ObjC/ObjC++ but not for Ada
gnat1: warning: command-line option ‘-Wformat-security’ is valid for C/C++/ObjC/ObjC++ but not for Ada
gnat1: warning: ‘-Werror=’ argument ‘-Werror=format-security’ is not valid for Ada
$ echo $?
0
```
This is only spammy when compiling Ada programs inside a Nix derivation,
but certain configure scripts (such as the ./configure script from the
gcc that's built by coreboot's `make crossgcc` command) fail entirely
when getting that warning output.
https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Coreboot currently suggests manually running
> NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE="${NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE/ format/}" make crossgcc
… but actually teaching the nixpkgs-provided cc wrapper that `format`
isn't supported as a hardening flag seems to be the more canonical way
to do this in nixpgks.
After this, Ada programs still compile:
```
$ gcc -c conftest.adb
$ echo $?
0
```
And the compiler output is empty.
As @lopsided98 points out in #105305, since the hashes are now target
sensative, and until we find reason to actually care to test what they
are exactly, we are best just normalizing them away in the tests.
- Generate a link to the initramfs file with an appropriate file
extension, guessed based on the compressor by default
- Use correct metadata in u-boot images if generated, up to now this
was hardcoded to gzip and would silently generate an erroneous image
if another compressor was specified
- Document all the parameters
- Improve cross-building compatibility, by allowing passing either a
string as before, or a function taking a package set and returning the
path to a compressor in the "compressor" argument of the
function.
- Support more compression algorithms
- Place compressor executable function and arguments in passthru, for
reuse when appending initramfses

Originally this was meant to support other Windows versions than just
Windows XP, but before I actually got a chance to implement this I left
the project that I implemented this for.
The code has been broken for years now and I highly doubt anyone is
interested in resurrecting this (including me), so in order to make this
less of a maintenance burden for everybody, let's remove it.

Docker (via containerd) and the the OCI Image Configuration imply and
suggest, respectfully, that the architecture set in images matches those
of GOARCH in the Go Language document.
This changeset updates the implimentation of getArch in dockerTools to
return GOARCH values, to satisfy Docker.
Fixes: #106695
If I'm running an Emacs executable from emacsWithPackages as my main
programming environment, and I'm hacking on Emacs, or the Emacs
packaging in Nixpkgs, or whatever, I don't want the Emacs packages
from the wrapper to show up in the load path of that child Emacs. It
results in differing behaviour depending on whether the child Emacs is
run from Emacs or from, for example, an external terminal emulator,
which is very surprising.
To avoid this, pass another environment variable containing the
wrapper site-lisp path, and use that value to remove the corresponding
entry in EMACSLOADPATH, so it won't be propagated to child Emacsen.
An empty entry in EMACSLOADPATH gets filled with the default value.
This is presumably why the wrapper inserted a colon after the entry it
added for the dependencies. But this naive approach wasn't always
correct.
For example, if the user ran emacs with EMACSLOADPATH=foo, the wrapper
would insert the default value (by adding the trailing `:') even
though the user was trying to expressly opt out of it.
To do this correctly, here I've replaced makeWrapper with a bespoke
script that will actually parse the EMACSLOADPATH provided in the
environment (if given), and insert the wrapper's load path just before
the default value. If EMACSLOADPATH is given but contains no default
value, we respect that and don't add the wrapped dependencies at all.
If no EMACSLOADPATH is given, we insert the wrapped dependencies
before the default value, just like before. In this way, the wrapped
Emacs should now behave as if the wrapped dependencies were part of
Emacs's default load-path value.
Previously, meta wasn't being passed through at all, because it's
removed from args without being used anywhere. This made it so that
rcirc-menu wasn't being marked as broken even though it was supposed
to be.
This patch copies the meta handling from melpaBuild, including the
default home page (adapted for ELPA).
