SBCL 1.2.0 was being retained for the acl2 package, which no longer
needs it. SBCL 1.3.12 was being retained for the maxima package,
which appears to no longer need it.
The `make regression` line was failing because the expression was
downloading a core-system-only, no-libraries source tarball. I
switched to using fetchFromGitHub, which downloads the full source
code -- the core system as well as the "community books",
i.e. libraries -- but the libraries unfortunately do not build yet
because they have more dependencies than the core system, and they
also run into some impurity problems during the build process.
This commit changes the ACL2 package so that at least the user will
obtain the latest version of the core system, even though they won't
get the community books. In a later commit I hope to fix this; it
will require either changes to ACL2 itself, or a patch to be applied
to ACL2 in nixpkgs.
ACL2 7.4 has no trouble building on the current version of SBCL in
nixpkgs, so I let it do so instead of using the ancient SBCL version
1.2.0 from 2014.
I also added myself as a maintainer to this package, since I'm an
active contributor to the ACL2 project and am interested in seeing it
working on Nix.
Fixes#10450
When compiling packages with -o the executable invokes gcc.
There is no compile time flag to control this invocation so for
now we create a wrapper which provides the dependency at runtime.
postage is no longer maintained and has been replaced by the identical pgmanage. See:
https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage#postage-has-been-replaced-with-pgmanage
The following error is raised when a user enables the deprecated `services.postage.enable` option:
Failed assertions:
- services.postage is deprecated in favor of pgmanage. They have the same options so just substitute postage for pgmanage.
Instead of adapting Dropbox to NixOS with patchelf, NixOS is adapted to Dropbox
with an FHS user environment. A crash due to missing libXert (#15356) is
fixed. The client's automatic updater is fixed; this obviates the need to
update Dropbox in Nixpkgs every time the client is updated upstream!
Resolves: #15356
