In combination with carnix we can now build crates that require a
specific edition of rust features. A few crates started requiring that
already and having this in nixpkgs is just logical.
This commit adds test based on real-world crates (brotli).
There were a few more edge cases that were missing beforehand. Also it
turned out that we can get rid of the `finalBins` list since that will
now be handled during runtime.
The build expression got quiet large over time and to make it a bit
easier to grasp the different scripts involved in the build are now
separated from the nix file.
Cargo has a few odd (old) ways of picking source files if the `bin.path`
attribute isn't given in the Cargo.toml. This commit adds support for
some of those. The previous behaviour always defaulted to `src/main.rs`
which was not always the right choice.
Since there is look-ahead into the unpacked sources before running the
actual builder the path selection logic has to be embedded within the
build script.
`buildRustCrate` currently supports two ways of running building
binaries when processing a crate:
- Explicit definition of all the binaries (& optionally the paths to
their respective `main.rs`) and,
- if not binary was explictly configured all files matching the patterns
`src/main.rs`, `src/bin/*.rs`.
When the explicit list is given without path information paths are now
being picked from a list of candidates. The first match wins. The order
is the same as within the cargo compatibility code.
If the crate does not provide any libraries the path `src/{bin_name}.rs`
is also considered.
All underscores within the binary names are translated into dashes (`-`)
before the lookups are made. This seems to be a common convention.
By setting useRealVendorConfig explicitly to true, the actual (slightly
modified) config generated by cargo-vendor is used.
This solves a problem, where the static vendor config in
pkgs/build-support/rust/default.nix would not sufficiently replace all
crates Cargo is looking for.
As useRealVendorConfig (and writeVendorConfig in fetchcargo) default to
false, there should be no breakage in existing cargoSha256 hashes.
Nethertheless, imho using this new feature should become standard. A
possible deprecation path could be:
- introduce this patch
- set useRealVendorConfig explicitly to false whereever cargoSha256 is
set but migration is not wanted yet.
- after some time, let writeVendorConfig default to true
- when useRealVendorConfig is true everywhere cargoSha256 is set and
enough time is passed, `assert cargoVendorDir == null ->
useRealVendorConfig;`, remove old behaviour
- after some time, remove all appearences of useRealVendorConfig and the
parameter itself
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
Setting the hash to null is a convenient way to bypass the hash check
while developing. It looks like the ability to do this was inadvertently
removed while adding vendor directory support.
This still checks that the user is explicitly setting the value but
allows null as a valid option.
Previously, cargoUpdateHook was meaningful as it was used
in
[`cargo-fetch-deps`](19d3cf81d3/pkgs/build-support/rust/fetch-cargo-deps (L71)).
However, this entire file was removed in
5f8cf0048e. As far as I can
tell, nothing in the code is using it, but it is still
being passed around:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/search?q=cargoUpdateHook&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
There are, however, legitimate use cases for it. For example,
in some software, some dependencies are not locked in Cargo.toml
and this causes Cargo to try fetching another version of them.
This doesn't work well with vendoring crates.
This hook allows to inject patching or whatever necessary workarounds
in the crate vendoring process. I suppose that's what it was for
in there in the first place.
This patch restores this hook and makes it usable again.
`find -executable` finds everything with the executable bit set,
including directories. Thats not harmful in this scenario as `cp` won't
copy those directories, but it does result in a few warning messages.
cargo-vendor generates almost the right cargo config. Store it with the
vendored files and patch it on use.
This allows to re-use the generated config when using git dependencies.
They aren't meant to be critical (uncatchable) errors.
Tested with nix-env + checkMeta:
[ "x86_64-linux" "i686-linux" "x86_64-darwin" "aarch64-linux" ]
The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.

This allows users to specify a custom registry src,
because currently every packager would need to create
an outdated Cargo.lock just to be compatible with the
probably outdated rustRegistry in nixpkgs.
Currently there is no easy way to convince cargo to
do that, so this makes that workaround unnecessary.
We need to make sure that `$revs` ends with a space, since files must always
end with newlines. The previous code ignored the last entry in `$revs`, because
read already returns non-zero exit code for the last entry, as it does not end
with a space.
When not using sandboxing, /usr/share/git-core/templates may leak into the
nix build through the libgit2 hardcoded default template search path. We now
explictly set the templatedir to avoid this problem.
See https://github.com/bennofs/nix-index/issues/2#issuecomment-296268983 for
an example case of nondeterminism.
Every Rust derivation used to emit a warning like the following:
```
setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to timestamp 1490877042 of file cargo-6e0c18c/Cargo.lock
warning: file cargo-6e0c18c/Cargo.lock may be generated; SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH may be non-deterministic
```
The reason is that the dependencies are copied without preserving
timestamps. Changing the build script to timestamp-preserving copy
removes the warning.
