With multiple outputs, adding attributes to a derivation without
changing the {drv,out}Path is no longer as trivial as simply using the
`//' operator, as we usually want to add the attribute to _each_ output,
and even if we only care about one that one output can be reached via
multiple paths.
For stdenv.mkDerivation, we already had code in place to add passthru
and meta attributes to derivations. This commit simply factors part of
that code out into a lib function addPassthru, which takes a derivation
and an attribute set and appends the attribute set to each output of the
derivation.

Before, only the first output (and not even that when accessed through 'all' or its corresponding attribtue) had meta information and the relevant passthru attributes.
This doesn't change stdenv's hash and the tarball still builds, I'm pretty sure this is safe for master.
I'm not sure whether this was by intention, but so far postPatch hooks were
silently skipped whenever the patches list was empty. This change could possibly
change the build results of the following packages:
* gcc
* cmake (264)
* systemtap
* quemu-kvm
These packages all have in common that they have a postPatch hook and the
patches list can be empty when certain conditions are met.

If set to false, mkDerivation will throw an exception if a package has
an unfree license. ‘release-lib.nix’ uses this to enforce that we
don't build unfree packages as part of the Nixpkgs channel. Since
this is set through Nixpkgs' ‘config’ argument, it's more finegrained
than $HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE.
Conflicts:
pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/4.6/default.nix
pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/4.7/default.nix
The 4.7 had some weird parameters added in crossAttrs; I've removed
them, but I don't understand where they come from.
This is for consistency with terminology in stdenv (and the terms
"hostDrv" and "buildDrv" are not very intuitive, even if they're
consistent with GNU terminology).
This allows various applications. It allows users to set global
optimisation flags, e.g.
stdenv.userHook = ''NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE+=" -funroll-loops"'';
But the impetus is as an alternative to issue #229, allowing impure
stdenv setup for people who want to use distcc:
stdenv.userHook = "source /my/impure/setup-script.sh";
This is probably a bad idea, but at least now it's a bad idea in
people's configuration and not in Nixpkgs. :-)
If the environment variable HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE is set to "1", then
evaluation of a package with license "unfree" will throw an error.
Thus such packages or any packages that depend on them will fail to
evaluate.

inputs did not get in)
Updating the xorg builder script to support cross building (in fact, support
for propagating the required build inputs).
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18569
- Before this changes, cflags and ldflags for the native and the cross compiler
got mixed. Not all the gcc-wrapper/gcc-cross-wrapper variables are
independant now, but enough, I think.
- Fixed the generic stdenv expression, which did a big mess on buildInputs and
buildNativeInputs. Now it distinguishes when there is a stdenvCross or not.
Maybe we should have a single stdenv and forget about the stdenvCross
adapter - this could end in a stdenv a bit complex, but simpler than the
generic stdenv + adapter.
- Added basic support in pkgconfig for cross-builds: a single PKG_CONFIG_PATH
now works for both the cross and the native compilers, but I think this
should work well for most cases I can think of.
- I tried to fix the guile expression to cross-biuld; guile is built, but not
its manual, so the derivation still fails. Guile requires patching to
cross-build, as far as I understnad.
- Made the glibcCross build to be done through the usage of a
gcc-cross-wrapper over the gcc-cross-stage-static, instead of using it
directly.
- Trying to make physfs (a neverball dependency) cross build.
- Updated the gcc expression to support building a cross compiler without getting
derivation variables mixed with those of the stdenvCross.

derivation, the "buildInputs" in every stdenv mkDerivation don't map now
directly to the environment
variable "buildInputs" in the builder, but "buildNativeInputs". So, the inputs
build by the native compiler.
When cross compiling, they will map to the environment variable "buildInputs"
(yes, now the same name), which means does to be built with the cross compiler.
I think I improved the naming of variables a bit. There was a big mess,
specially in the stdenv adapter for cross building, and also in the default
builder script.
I also tried to add proper manager of propagatedInputBuilds, these being
propagated considering the host or build origin of that input build (so, at the
end, being those propagatedInputBuilds being propagated properly to the native
or the cross compiler.

the cross compilation functionality.
- I renamed some expected stdenv.mkDerivation parameter attributes so we can
keep this branch properly updated from trunk. We agreed with Nicolas Pierron
doing a massive renaming, so all current buildInputs become hostInputs (input
as build for the host machine, in autotools terminology) , and
then buildInputs would mean "input as for the build machine".
By now, the specific "input as for the build machine" is specified through
buildNativeInputs. We should fix this in the merge to trunk.
- I made the generic stdenv understand the buildNativeInputs, otherwise if
we start changing nixpkgs expressions so they distinguish the current
buildInputs into buildInputs and buildNativeInputs, we could break even more
nixpkgs for other platforms.
- I changed the default result of mkDerivation so it becomes the derivation for
to be run in the build machine. This allows, without any special rewriting,
"fetchurl" derivations to be always results for the build machine to use
them.
- The change above implies that, for anyone wanting to cross-compile, has to
build the hostDrv of the wanted derivation. For example, after this commit,
the usual test of "nix-build -A bison.hostDrv arm.nix" works. I described
the contents of this arm.nix in r18398.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18471
I made the stdenvCross adapter simpler, according to Nicolas Pierron comments,
and I commented it a bit.
There are still jobs to do. At least:
- Plan for the general renaming from buildInputs to hostInputs
- We should not break merges from trunk.
- Make the generic stdenv understand about host/buildInputs, at least for
native builds, because it is used in the always-native building of
stdenvLinux. This should allow us to remove all duplications of "*NoCross" in
nixpkgs.

* Some fetchurl-related refactoring. The `realCurl' attribute is
gone, `curl' is the real thing. To prevent an infinite recursion in
`fetchurl' (because it depends on curl and building curl needs
fetchurl), curl and its dependencies (openssl, zlib, perl) use
`fetchurlBoot', which is the fetchurl used by the previous bootstrap
phase (e.g. the statically linked version of curl for
stdenv-linux). So as a result you can use https:// urls almost
everywhere.
There's also some hackery to prevent a different curl from being
built in every stdenv-linux bootstrap phase (namely the
stdenv.fetchurl attribute which allows fetchurl to be overriden
everywhere).

The function for use in setup hooks. The syntax is very simple:

* Generic builder (forked in setup-new.sh): support patches that are

svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=6913
This has a major advantage: you can write hooks directly in Nix
expressions. For instance, rather than write a builder like this:
source $stdenv/setup
postInstall=postInstall
postInstall() {
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip
ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat
}
genericBuild
(the gzip builder), you can just add this attribute to the
derivation:
postInstall = "ln -sf gzip $out/bin/gunzip; ln -sf gzip $out/bin/zcat";
and so a separate build script becomes unnecessary. This should
allow us to get rid of most builders in Nixpkgs.
* Allow configure and make arguments to contain whitespace.
Previously, you could say, for instance
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0"
but not
configureFlags="CFLAGS=-O0 -g"
since the `-g' would be interpreted as a separate argument to
configure. Now you can say
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g")
or similarly
configureFlagsArray=("CFLAGS=-O0 -g" "LDFLAGS=-L/foo -L/bar")
which does the right thing. Idem for makeFlags, installFlags,
checkFlags and distFlags.
Unfortunately you can't pass arrays to Bash through the environment,
so you can't put the array above in a Nix expression, e.g.,
configureFlagsArray = ["CFLAGS=-O0 -g"];
since it would just be flattened to a since string. However, you
can use the inline hooks described above:
preConfigure = "configureFlagsArray=(\"CFLAGS=-O0 -g\")";

genericBuild
The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:
- Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
- Determines the source tree.
- Applies patches specified by $patches.
- Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
- Runs `configure'.
- Runs `make'.
- Runs `make install'.
- Strips debug information from static libraries.
- Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
`log2xml').
There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
builder. See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.
* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
generic builder.
* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.
* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv. We shouldn't
encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).
* Updated some packages.
* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).
* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).
* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
accepted by `log2xml'. Also, prior to writing the build command,
Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
built. This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
invocations in many Makefiles. The actual build commands are marked
`unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
`log2html'.

checked whether absolute paths passed to gcc/ld refer to the store,
which is wrong: they can also refer to the build tree

* Less static composition in the construction of stdenv-nix-linux:
gcc-wrapper and generic are now passed in as arguments, rather then
referenced by relative path. This makes it easier to hack on a
specific stage of the bootstrap process (before, a change to, e.g.,
generic/setup.sh would cause all bootstrap stages to be redone).

- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
derivation. This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user

- Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
scripts. For instance, setup no longer knows about the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.
- gcc not longer depends on binutils. This simplifies the bootstrap
process.
