In my opinion Functions should only contain pure functions. These are
both meant to provide derivations so I put them under Builders. Don't
know exactly *where* to put them so "special" it is...
Whenever we create scripts that are installed to $out, we must use runtimeShell
in order to get the shell that can be executed on the machine we create the
package for. This is relevant for cross-compiling. The only use case for
stdenv.shell are scripts that are executed as part of the build system.
Usages in checkPhase are borderline however to decrease the likelyhood
of people copying the wrong examples, I decided to use runtimeShell as well.
The appimageTools attrset contains utilities to prevent
the usage of appimage-run to package AppImages, like done/attempted
in #49370 and #53156.
This has the advantage of allowing for per-package environment changes,
and extracts into the store instead of the users home directory.
The package list was extracted into appimageTools to prevent
duplication.
This is useful when running tools like NixOps or nix-review
on workstations where the upload to the builder is significantly
slower then downloading the source on the builder itself.
Modifies the build process of the manual to invoke nixdoc
automatically to generate XML files with function documentation.
Currently documentation is present for five of the files in `lib/`.
To add another file to the generated docs, both
`doc/functions/library.xml` and `doc/lib-function-docs.nix` must be
updated.
Hydra passes the full revision in to the input, which we pass through.
If we don't get this ,we try to get it from other sources, or default to
master which should have the definition in a close-ish location.
All published docs should have theURL resolve properly, only local
hackers will have the link break.
