find fails when called with an inexistent search path.
That situation may arise when the output is created after by a postFixup hook.
vcunat amended the PR by clarifying one more `return` to `return 0`.
Checkinstall had two problems:
1. when it was called without a version (e.g. with a derivation created
by fetchFromGitHub) it would use `src` as debian version, which caused
dpkg to fail
2. when dpkg failed, it would invoke the pager with the log, which hangs
the build
So now
1. the default version is the dummy `0.0.0`
2. the used pager is `cat`
Source of this change goes back to 2009 and original version of
fetchgit at 205fb0c87e.
The nondeterminism is really caused by changing .git so leave other
files alone as they might be interesting.
Note: this causes a hash mismatch with Hydra's version of Git Plugin
which we should fix to comply.
Move all the dependencies to their own derivation, so that we don't publish all
of them if the wrapper is installed in a profile.
The previous solution just moved them to a custom directory to avoid conflicts,
this refactors that and completely hides them, while preserving the desired
improvement of adding only one directory to each of the emacs search paths
The chroot caps restriction disallows chroot'ed processes from running
any command that requires `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, breaking `nixos-rebuild`. See
e.g., https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/15293
This significantly weakens chroot protections, but to break
nixos-rebuild out of the box is too severe.
There are no users of it in main tree and recent merge
of multiple outputs branch makes it obsolete for private trees
too.
At the time hook was created, recently merged multiple output
branch was relying on passing flags to autotools to split
outputs, which obviously wasn't working for other build systems
Scatter output was taking different approach where files were
moved out from a build tree based on known paths, which is more
or less what current multiple-outputs.sh hook is able to do too.
A nix specific set of tools for converting icon files
that are not in a freedesktop ready format.
I plan on using these tools for both `keepass` and
`retroarch` packages. It may benifit many other packages.
For every *.{exe,dll} in $output/bin/ we try to find all (potential)
transitive dependencies and symlink those DLLs into $output/bin
so they are found on invocation.
(DLLs are first searched in the directory of the running exe file.)
The links are relative, so relocating whole /nix/store won't break them.
The hook is activated on cygwin and when cross-compiling to mingw.
