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).
There are a few operations in this library that naively runs on every
iteration while they could be cached.
For a simple test repository with a small number of files and ~1000
gitignore patterns this brings memory usage down from ~233M to ~157M
and wall time from 2.6s down to 0.78s.
This should scale similarly with the number of files in a repository.
This is a workaround for NixOS/nix#4295, which caused single-user Linux
Nix installations using sandboxed builds to start failing to build
fetchzip derivations after 4a5c49363a.
In short: removing write permissions for the entire directory is great,
except we then can't rename(2) it to the final Nix store path out of the
sandbox, because we don't have write permission on the directory and
thus cannot update the ".." directory entry.
This provides a /etc/passwd and /etc/group that contain root and nobody.
Useful when packaging binaries that insist on using nss to look up
username/groups (like nginx).
The current nginx example used the `runAsRoot` parameter to setup
/etc/group and /etc/passwd (which also doesn't exist in
buildLayeredImage), so we can now just use fakeNss there and use
buildLayeredImage.
Informational messages belong on stderr, not on stdout and intermixed
with structured output for programmatic use.
