This adds a `dhallToNix` utility which compiles expression from the Dhall
configuration language to Nix using Nix's support for "import from derivation".
The main motivation of this compiler is to allow users to carve out small typed
subsets of Nix projects. Everything in the Dhall language (except `Double`s)
can be translated to Nix in this way, including functions.
This is required for Aarch64 since a lot of source tarballs ship with
outdated configure scripts that don't recognize aarch64. Simply
replacing the config.guess and config.sub with new versions from
upstream makes them build again.
This same approach is used by at least Buildroot and Fedora. In
principle this could be enabled for all architectures but
conditionalizing this on aarch64 avoids a mass rebuild on x86.
To achieve reproducible results, `cpio` archive members are added in
sorted order and inodes renumbered.
The `cpio-clean.pl` script is made obsolete by setting mtimes via
`touch` & using `cpio --reproducible`. Suggested by @dezgeg in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/21273#issuecomment-268116605.
Note that using `--reproducible` means that initial ramdisk creation now
requires at least `cpio` version 2.12 (released in 2015).
Deprecation warnings should not be used in Nixpkgs because they spam
innocent "nix-env -qa" users with (in this case) dozens of messages
that they can't do anything about.
This also reverts commit 2ca8833383.
I believe this reduces surprises and is actually simpler semantically.
This is important e.g. for relative symlinks when moving both source
and target - now the order of moving won't matter.
Fixes#20723 (a particular instance of the surprise).
This makes the response file handling more consistent with GCC.
For example, a reponse file may contain:
"-Wl,$ORIGIN"
GCC will treat this as a double quoted string and not expand the
variable reference. Previously, cc-wrapper would expand the variable
in the same was as if the string was provided on the command line.
This commit extends fetchFromGitHub with ability to fetch GitHub
repositories with submodules, so we can use the function consistently
with all GitHub repositories.
Note it doesn't change the previous behavior.
Include files are typically in the libc package's `dev` output but previously `-isystem` was looking in `out`, resulting in my cross-compilation environment not finding its include files.
The motivation for this change is the following: As gnu-netcat,
e. g. does not support ipv6, it is not suitable as default netcat.
This commit also fixes all obvious build issues caused by this change.
This is a temporary work-around to fix using grsecurity on NixOS with
the new kernelPackages/kernelPatches machinery.
For whatever reason, when `security.grsecurity.enable = true`, the grsec
patch ends up being applied twice, causing the kernel build to fail.
Until the root cause of this is identified, we hack around it by simply
pruning duplicate patches in the grsec kernel builder.
Closes#19698
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.
Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.
extraFlagsArray should not be exposed outside of `makeWrapper`, it
should only be possible to set it inside a script supplied via the
`--run` argument.
This ensures that most "trivial" derivations used to build NixOS
configurations no longer depend on GCC. For commands that do invoke
gcc, there is runCommandCC.
This is a standard environment that doesn't contain a C/C++
compiler. This is mostly to prevent trivial builders like runCommand
and substituteAll from pulling in gcc for simple configuration changes
on NixOS.
When building an image with multiple layers, files
already included in an underlying layer are supposed to
be excluded from the current layer. However, some subtleties
in the way filepaths are compared seem to be blocking this.
Specifically:
* tar generates relative filepaths with directories ending in '/'
* find generates absolute filepaths with no trailing slashes on directories
That is, paths extracted from the underlying tarball look like:
nix/store/.../foobar/
whereas the layer being generated uses paths like:
/nix/store/.../foobar
This patch modifies the output of "tar -t" to match the latter format.
They now go to devman, devdoc, or $outputMan, in that order. This is
to prevent cases such as the man-pages package quietly losing its
section 3 pages.
This builds elisp to setup an emacs buffer with the packages given
available. See shlevy/nix-buffer for more information.
Currently only modifies $PATH.
This one was already merged into release-16.09, so let's not have the
stable branch is ahead of master and confuse things. In addition to
that, currently we have an odd situation that master has less things
actually finished building than in staging.
Conflicts:

This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.
This also:
- removes texLive (old), fixes#14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive
Previously, features.grsecurity wasn't actually set due to a bug in the
grsec builder. We now rely on the generic kernel builder to set features
from kernelPatches.
This reverts commit da68127737, reversing
changes made to 2ba494b728.
These changes are reverted because they cause an incompatibility which
they should not.
"emacsWrapper" replaces emacsWithPackages. In addition to "packagesFun",
emacsWrapper has an optional variable called "execStart". execStart can
be used to append elisp to the default site-start.el script. This is
useful for providing a way to load a user's .emacs.d/init.el
file. "emacsWithPackages" is implemented with emacsWrapper for
convenience and compatability.
Sometimes patches start without a leading prefix. We default to strip
one prefix or path component from patches (-p1) in the patchPhase in
stdenv.
As all patches should therefore be in this format, fetchpatch should
have an option to normalize patch paths. This commit introduces a new
argument to fetchpatch called addPrefixes that adds one patch prefix to
the old and new paths in a patch before putting it into the store.
fetchMavenArtifact downloads a Maven artifact given a group id, an artifact id,
and a version.
Example usage:
org_apache_httpcomponents_httpclient_4_5_2 = fetchMavenArtifact {
groupId = "org.apache.httpcomponents";
artifactId = "httpclient";
version = "4.5.2";
sha256 = "0ms00zc28pwqk83nwwbafhq6p8zci9mrjzbqalpn6v0d80hwdzqd";
# Optionally: repos = [ ... urls to some Maven repos to use ... ];
# Optionally: url, urls - pointing directly to a specific jar url.
};
Now `org_apache_httpcomponents_httpclient_4_5_2.jar` points to the downloaded
JAR file, while `org_apache_httpcomponents_httpclient_4_5_2` refers to a
derivation that when used used in `buildInputs` will be automatically added to
the Java classpath.
downloads.sourceforge.net is the official way to download tarballs from
SourceForge. However, it is reported as unreliable due to SF's weird
load balancing system.
This commit gives the official mirror utmost priority, and will use
other configured mirrors (which may be temporary) as a fallback only
when the official one can't be reached/download fails/hangs.

This patch fixes#16614 and #16741.
The first issue was caused by the fact that both `/share` and
`/share/fish/vendor_completions.d` end in the `pathsToLink`. The
`pkgs/build-support/buildenv/builder.pl` creates `/share`, then links
`/share/fish` under `/share` and then tries to create the directory
`/share/fish/vendor_completions.d` and fails because it already exists.
The simplest way to reproduce the issue is to build the next Nix
expression:
```nix
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "buildenv-issue";
paths = [
pkgs.fish
pkgs.vim
];
pathsToLink = [
"/share"
"/share/fish/vendor_completions.d"
];
}
```
The second issue is more critical and was caused by the fact findFiles
doesn't recurse deep enough. It stops at first unique directory for the
package (e.g., "/share" or even "/") and later the scripts decides it
shouldn't link it as it doesn't match pathsToLink (e.g., "/share/fish"),
so the result is empty.
The test:
```nix
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "buildenv-issue";
paths = [
pkgs.fish
pkgs.vim
];
pathsToLink = [
"/share/fish/functions"
];
}
```
or
```nix
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
in pkgs.buildEnv {
name = "buildenv-issue";
paths = [
pkgs.vim
];
pathsToLink = [
"/share"
];
}
```
Prior to this commit, trailing whitespace would be introduced when
modifying '#!' lines with no arguments. For example (whitespace added):
/nix/store/.../foo: interpreter directive changed
from "/bin/bash"
to "/nix/store/...-bash-4.3-p42/bin/bash "
/nix/store/.../bar: interpreter directive changed
from "/bin/baz wef"
to "/nix/store/...-baz wef "
We add a sed command to strip trailing whitespace, so the above commands
would drop the two spaces after "bash", or the one space after "baz wef".
abbradar: fixed commit title
Closes#16785.
