You can now pass
separateDebugInfo = true;
to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
Fixes#9044, close#9667. Thanks to @taku0 for suggesting this solution.
Now we have no modes starting with `/` or `+`.
Rewrite the `-perm` parameters of find:
- completely safe: rewrite `/0100` and `+100` to `-0100`,
- slightly semantics-changing: rewrite `+111` to `-0100`.
I cross-verified the `find` manual pages for Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD.
By default `makeWrapper` will not set argv[0] (this is a reversion to
the old default behavior). Based on the breakage we have seen from
changing the default, this is what most people want. The `wrapProgram`
function will send `--argv0 '"$0"'` to `makeWrapper`, i.e. it will
continue to pass-through the argv[0] that the wrapper is called with.
Now development stuff is propagated from the first output,
and userEnvPkgs from the one with binaries.
Also don't move *.la files (yet). It causes problems, and they're small.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
This is because libxml/libxslt are not the only implementations that
respect $XML_CATALOG_FILES.
Also, look in share/xml for catalogs (in addition to the
now-deprecated xml/dtd and xml/xsl).
This should fix the OpenJDK build, which was failing because paxctl is
in sbin and therefore not automatically added to $PATH.

Now it should contain *all* information from stdenv/setup.sh of
the original mutiple-output branch.
However, the configurability of the output paths is much greater.
This hook allows to scatter files in $out to multiple outputs.
For "bin" and "doc" outputs there are prefefined default masks, but
they can be overriden by setting files_<outname>, for example:
files_bin = [ "/bin/*" "/lib/libexec/" ];
To make an effect hook must be specified in buildInputs.
Stdenv adapters are kinda weird and un-idiomatic (especially when they
don't actually change stdenv). It's more idiomatic to say
buildInputs = [ makeCoverageAnalysisReport ];
Install names need to be absolute paths, otherwise programs that link
against the dylib won't work without setting $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. Most
packages do this correctly, but some (like Boost and ICU) do not.
This setup hook absolutizes all install names.
All JARs in $pkg/share/java (for each $pkg in the build inputs) are
added to $CLASSPATH. Thus, you can say
buildInputs = [ setJavaClassPath someJavaDependency ];
and the JARs in someJavaDependency will be found automatically by
tools like javac or ant.
Note that the manual used to say that JARs should be installed in
lib/java; this is now share/java, following the Debian policy:
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x110.html
The directory share/java makes more sense because JARs are
architecture-independent. (Also, a quick grep shows that we were not
exactly consistent about this in Nixpkgs.)
