Apparently this option trades compression time for size,
and explicitly does so without increasing resources needed in decomp.
Doesn't make tarball creation unbearable, so add it to options!
Before, we very carefully unapplied and reapplied `set -u` so the rest
of Nixpkgs could continue to not fail on undefined variables. Let's rip
off the band-aid.
Go beyond the obvious setup hooks now, with a bit of sed, with a skipped case:
- cc-wrapper's `dontlink`, because it already is handled.
Also, in nix files escaping was manually added.
EMP
A package's meta.license can either be a single license or a list. The
code to check config.whitelistedLicenses and config.blackListedLicenses
wasn't handling this, nor was the showLicense function.
This logic should be in the pkgs/top-level/static.nix. We don’t want
to pollute Nixpkgs with =if stdenv.static=. Also, "static" is not
descriptive. We have two types of static stdenvs, ‘makeStaticLibaries’
and ‘makeStaticBinaries’. We shouldn’t rely on a static boolean like
this.
These can be used to determine whether a ELF file with ELF header is an
executable or shared library.
We can't implement it in pure bash, as bash has problems with null
bytes.
That's very much consistent with the spirit of nix-shell --pure
BTW, nix 1.x shells will be always treated as pure;
in that version detection isn't possible.

Some SSL libs don't react to $SSL_CERT_FILE.
That actually makes sense to me, as we add this behavior
as nixpkgs-specific, so it seems "safer" to use $NIX_*.
We want initialPath to have lowest precedence.
In addition, unset _PATH and _HOST_PATH as they shouldn’t be needed
after final PATH and HOST_PATH are set.
Adds pkgsCross.wasm32 and pkgsCross.wasm64. Use it to build Nixpkgs
with a WebAssembly toolchain.
stdenv/cross: use static overlay on isWasm
isWasm doesn’t make sense dynamically linked.
This puts patches in all derivations even if it unspecified by the
derivation. By default it will be an empty list. This simplifies
overrides, as we can now assume that patches is a valid name so that
this works:
self: super: {
mypkg = super.pkg.overrideAttrs (o: {
patches = o.patches ++ [ ./my-very-own.patch ];
});
}
That is, you don’t need to provide a default "or []", make-derivation
provides one for you.
Unfortunately, this is a mass rebuild.
this adds libc++ to the LLVM cross, giving us access to the full
Nixpkgs set. This requires 4 stages of wrapped compilers:
- Clang with no libraries
- Clang with just compiler-rt
- Clang with Libc, and compiler-rt
- Clang with Libc++, Libc, and compiler-rt
New android ndk (18) now uses clang. We were going through the wrapper
that are provided. This lead to surprising errors when building.
Ideally we could use the llvm linker as well, but this leads to errors
as many packages don’t support the llvm linker.
This is needed to avoid confusing and repeated boilerplate for
`fooForTarget`. The vast majority of use-cases can still use
`buildPackages or `targetPackages`, which are now defined in terms of
these.
You can build (partially) with LLVM toolchain using the useLLVM flag.
This works like so:
nix-build -A hello --arg crossSystem '{ system =
"aarch64-unknown-linux-musl"; useLLVM = true }'
also don’t separate debug info in lldClang
It doesn’t work currently with that setup hook. Missing build-id?
Comments on conflicts:
- llvm: d6f401e1 vs. 469ecc70 - docs for 6 and 7 say the default is
to build all targets, so we should be fine
- some pypi hashes: they were equivalent, just base16 vs. base32
For a long time now, tracing has been broken in Nixpkgs. So when you
have an eval error you would get something like this:
error: while evaluating the attribute 'buildInputs' of the derivation 'hello-2.10' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix:185:11:
while evaluating 'chooseDevOutputs' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:474:22, called from undefined position:
while evaluating 'optionals' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/lists.nix:257:5, called from /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix:132:17:
This is coming from how Nix handles string context and how
make-derivation messes with the "name" attribute. This commit should
restore the old behavior so you get a nice line number like:
error: while evaluating the attribute 'buildInputs' of the derivation 'hello-2.10' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix:4:3:
while evaluating 'chooseDevOutputs' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:474:22, called from undefined position:
while evaluating 'optionals' at /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/lib/lists.nix:257:5, called from /home/mbauer/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/make-derivation.nix:132:17:
NOTE: This will still be broken for cross compilation due to the
prefixes we are adding to name.
This behavior ended up breaking the handleEvalIssue functionality by hiding those packages. So something like this:
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.zoom-us
would silently fail, without telling the user how to fix it! Regardless, this "bug" should be handled in Nix - not Nixpkgs.
Fixes#38952.
We can't run the checkPhase when build != host, so we may as well make
the checkInputs native.
This signicantly improves the situation of Python packages when enabling
strictDeps.
* add generic x86_32 support
- Add support for i386-i586.
- Add `isx86_32` predicate that can replace most uses of `isi686`.
- `isi686` is reinterpreted to mean "exactly i686 arch, and not say i585 or i386".
- This branch was used to build working i586 kernel running on i586 hardware.
* revert `isi[345]86`, remove dead code
- Remove changes to dead code in `doubles.nix` and `for-meta.nix`.
- Remove `isi[345]86` predicates since other cpu families don't have specific model predicates.
* remove i386-linux since linux not supported on that cpu
Hydra's page showing evaluation errors is about a mile long, showing
buckets of user-friendly errors, like this:
in job ‘seyren.aarch64-linux’:
Package ‘oraclejre-8u191’ in /nix/store/fa9zzkbljkvdavwzirkrr5irg25ymbjl-source/pkgs/development/compilers/oraclejdk/jdk-linux-base.nix:71 has an unfree license (‘unfree’), refusing to evaluate.
a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
{ nixpkgs.config.allowUnfree = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.
b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
{ allowUnfree = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
in job ‘jetbrains.webstorm.x86_64-linux’:

This makes it extremely hard to find actual issues in the output. This
patch set makes the output much more condensed in Hydra:

Adds the static overlay that can be used to build Nixpkgs statically.
Can be used like:
nix build pkgsStatic.hello
Not all packages build, as some rely on dynamic linking.
crossOverlays only apply to the packages being built, not the build
packages. It is useful when you don’t care what is used to build your
packages, just what is being built. The idea relies heavily on the
cross compiling infrastructure. Using this implies that we need to
create a cross stdenv.
Some trivial builders use the name attr to choose the exec name
produced. For example nixos-install,
nixos-install = makeProg {
name = "nixos-install";
src = ./nixos-install.sh;
nix = config.nix.package.out;
path = makeBinPath [ nixos-enter ];
};
When cross compiling, this puts the prog in,
/bin/nixos-install-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
When separateDebugInfo = true & !stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux, we
always gave an error. There is no reason to do this. Instead, just
don’t add separate debug info when we aren’t on Linux.
propagateNativeBuildInputs will end up going in the output derivation.
This case is allowed to end up in references because of that. Sorry
for the disruption!
Fixes#50865
Completely breaks darwin. Every package in the stdenv that has shebangs
in the output will end up with references to bootstrap-tools.
This reverts commit eb7c50a993.
Completely breaks darwin. Every package in the stdenv that has shebangs
in the output will end up with references to bootstrap-tools.
This reverts commit 2f2e635dd5.
This will make the list much easier to re-use, eg. for `nixosTests`
The drawback is that this approaches makes the
```
nix-build release.nix -A tests.opensmtpd.x86_64-linux
```
command about twice as slow (3s to 6s): it now has to evaluate `nixpkgs`
once for each architecture, instead of just having the hardcoded list of
tests that allowed to say “ok just evaluate for x86_64-linux”.
On the other hand, complete evaluation of `release.nix` should be much
faster because we no longer import `nixpkgs` for each test: testing with
the following command went from 30s to 18s, and that's just for a few
tests.
```
time nix-instantiate --eval --strict nixos/release.nix -A tests.nat
```
I initially wanted to test on the whole `release.nix`, but there are too
many broken tests and it takes too long to eval them all, especially
compared to the fact that the current implementation breaks some setup.
Given developers can just `nix-build nixos/tests/my-test.nix`, it sounds
like an overall win.
Fixes#49071
On ld.gold, we produce broken executables when linking with the Musl
libc. This appears to be a known bug when using ld.gold and Musl. This
thread describes the workaround as enabling PIE when using ld.gold and
Musl:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/05/01/5
By default we don’t enable PIE to avoid breaking things. But in the
Musl case we are breaking things by not enabling PIE. So this adds a
special case for defaultHardeningFlags which keeps the pie hardening
for everything. Any packages that break with PIE can add the pie flag
to disableHardeningFlags array (a no-op for now on anything but Musl).
