Previously, callPackage would try and fill the arguments such as `name`
and `src` which would cause problems if those existed as top-level
attributes. This also makes it clearer what part is the function
signature.
Then document the derivation inline in the code to explain the ellipsis
and various use-cases.
This reverts commit b32a057425,
which breaks even the most straightforward uses of srcOnly:
nix-repl> srcOnly guile

This is a better name since we have multiple 64-bit things that could
be referred to.
LP64 : integer=32, long=64, pointer=64
ILP64 : integer=64, long=64, pointer=64
This is based on previous work for switching between BLAS and LAPACK
implementation in Debian[1] and Gentoo[2]. The goal is to have one way
to depend on the BLAS/LAPACK libraries that all packages must use. The
attrs “blas” and “lapack” are used to represent a wrapped BLAS/LAPACK
provider. Derivations that don’t care how BLAS and LAPACK are
implemented can just use blas and lapack directly. If you do care what
you get (perhaps for some CPP), you should verify that blas and lapack
match what you expect with an assertion.
The “blas” package collides with the old “blas” reference
implementation. This has been renamed to “blas-reference”. In
addition, “lapack-reference” is also included, corresponding to
“liblapack” from Netlib.org.
Currently, there are 3 providers of the BLAS and LAPACK interfaces:
- lapack-reference: the BLAS/LAPACK implementation maintained by netlib.org
- OpenBLAS: an optimized version of BLAS and LAPACK
- MKL: Intel’s unfree but highly optimized BLAS/LAPACK implementation
By default, the above implementations all use the “LP64” BLAS and
LAPACK ABI. This corresponds to “openblasCompat” and is the safest way
to use BLAS/LAPACK. You may received some benefits from “ILP64” or
8-byte integer BLAS at the expense of breaking compatibility with some
packages.
This can be switched at build time with an override like:
import <nixpkgs> {
config.allowUnfree = true;
overlays = [(self: super: {
lapack = super.lapack.override {
lapackProvider = super.lapack-reference;
};
blas = super.blas.override {
blasProvider = super.lapack-reference;
};
})];
}
or, switched at runtime via LD_LIBRARY_PATH like:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(nix-build -E '(with import <nixpkgs> {}).lapack.override { lapackProvider = pkgs.mkl; is64bit = true; })')/lib:$(nix-build -E '(with import <nixpkgs> {}).blas.override { blasProvider = pkgs.mkl; is64bit = true; })')/lib ./your-blas-linked-binary
By default, we use OpenBLAS LP64 also known in Nixpkgs as
openblasCompat.

hashed-mirrors are content addressed. So if $outputHash is in the
hashed-mirror, changes from ‘postFetch’ would already be made. So,
running postFetch will end up applying the change /again/, which we
don’t want.
I know, heretic, but...
I also know that this is not perfect but it is a good start, I think. It
would be nice if this were part of the automatic "nixdoc" function
reference. I'd like guidance if this should be part of the rust section
or something else.
"Application" is deprecated, "Other" is invalid, there are no generic
categories, and the Categories fields is optional per the spec.
Fixes the defaults after #75729.
Most of the skaware packages already build just fine with pkgsStatic,
however the wrapper scripts for execline and stdnotify-wrapper needed
the `-lskarlib` argument to go at the end.
`utmps` and `nsss` still fail with this error:
```
exec ./tools/install.sh -D -m 600 utmps-utmpd /bin/utmps-utmpd
/build/utmps-0.0.3.1/tools/install.sh: line 48: can't create /bin/utmps-utmpd.tmp.479: Permission denied
make: *** [Makefile:121: /bin/utmps-utmpd] Error 1
```
This reverts commit a50653295d.
The reasons cited were “debugging”, in which case
you can just add the attribute to `buildSkawarePackage`
and “customizing”, which is still possible with
a normal `overrideDerivation`.
The patch removed `outputs` for some reason
(possible oversight), so building nsss failed.
Plus lots of complexity (e.g. don’t forget to add new
arguments to `removeAttrs` otherwise there’s a bug now).
As it turns out Darwin does most of the things differently then "normal"
systems. They are using a different shared library extension and require
an obscure commandline parameter that has to be added to every build
system out there. That issue seems to be with clang on Darwin as on
Linux that flag isn't required to build the very same tests (when using
clang).
After adjusting these two details the tests are running fine on the
darwin box that I was able to obtain.
- Add packages installed in a sub-directory of site-lisp, such as
mu4e, to EMACSLOADPATH.
- Add ELPA packages to EMACSLOADPATH.
- Add each package only once to EMACSLOADPATH. Before, each package
would typically be added twice for each transitive dependency
leading to a huge variable for a package having many dependencies.
Fixed#78680
According to the Cargo documentation:
> The build script does not have access to the dependencies listed in
> the dependencies or dev-dependencies section (they’re not built
> yet!). Also, build dependencies are not available to the package
> itself unless also explicitly added in the [dependencies] table.

This change separates linkage of regular dependencies and build
dependencies.
Regression introduced in PR #8119180729b6787. The file does not exist
somewhere during bootstrap of pkgsStatic.busybox which is used in nix
(by default).
I tested the builds.
* Make errors include the crate name and make them much more prominent.
* Move more code into lib.sh
* Already source generated logging code and lib.sh in configure
The inlined readme that we were iterating on has been moved to GitHub
issue #79975, and the default is now the new cargo fetcher, so this
doc comment is out of date.
