Mesa has been supporting S3TC natively without requiring these libraries
since the S3TC patent expired in December 2017.
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.

This is an updated version of the former upstream,
https://github.com/AndroidHardeningArchive/linux-hardened, and provides
a minimal set of additional hardening patches on top of upstream.
The patch already incorporates many of our hardened profile defaults,
and releases are timely (Linux 5.5.15 and 5.6.2 were released on
2020-04-02; linux-hardened patches for them came out on 2020-04-03 and
2020-04-04 respectively).
The v7 series is very different.
This commit introduces the 3 packages: fahclient, fahcontrol and
fahviewer. It also rebuilds the NixOS module to map better with the new
client.
* source-han-sans: 1.004R -> 2.001
* source-han-serif: switch to Super OTC
* source-han-mono: init at 1.002
The Source Han fonts now use shared package infrastructure, and the
Super OTC distributions, which unify the various scripts into a single
bundle file, improving automatic font selection and reducing overall
disk space usage. This also means that the Traditional
Chinese—Hong Kong language variant is now included.
The old package names including language are aliased to the Super OTC
bundle packages.
According to https://endoflife.software/programming-languages/server-side-scripting/ruby
ruby 2.4 will go end-of-life in march, where the new release of nixpkgs
will be cut. We won't be able to support it for security updates.
Remove all references to ruby_2_4 and add ruby_2_7 instead where
missing.
Mark packages that depend on ruby 2.4 as broken:
* chefdk
* sonic-pi
Package is marked as broken for >2 years and used a fairly old
snapshot from the gcc7-branch, so I fairly doubt that this is
somewhere used (and is also pretty misleading as you don't expect a
random snapshot from gcc7 at `pkgs.gcc-snapshot`).
There are no new releases of sqldeveloper v17/v18 and I don't think that
we should keep obviously unmaintained software that interacts with
database systems.
I removed `sqldeveloper_18` and `pkgs.sqldeveloper` now points to
version 19.4. Unfortunately I had to drop darwin support as JavaFX is
required for 19.4 which is part of the `oraclejdk` which isn't packaged
for darwin yet.
For further information please refer to the release notes:

On numerous occasions I have seen users mistake this
module as libinput because it being called "multitouch"
and them being unaware that the actually module they want
is libinput. They then run into several decrepit bugs due
to the completely out-of-date nature of the underlying package.
The underlying package hasn't been changed to an up-to-date
fork in a period of 8 years. I don't consider this to be production quality.
However, I'm not opposed for the module being readded to NixOS
with new packaging, and a better name.
These are all based on firefox versions with known vulnerabilities
exploited in the wild.
We seriously shouldn't ship this in nixpkgs, especially not for
sensitive applications as the Tor Browser.
`tor-browser-bundle` is just a wrapper around
`firefoxPackages.tor-browser`, so let's remove it too.
`tor-browser-bundle-bin` is the much safer bet, which is individually
downloaded from `dist.torproject.org` and just `patchelf`-ed locally to
work on NixOS.

People have only been using this for the spell-entry widget, i.e even
hexchat just has the code vendored and are maintaining it themselves.
There is a continuation that could be packaged if anyone needs it
* https://github.com/TingPing/libsexy3
but currently no package within nixpkgs has a use for this.
This package actually uses the old abandoned code base.
However the code base has been revieved by new maintainers
* https://github.com/projecthamster/
if there is a request for it could be re-added to nixpkgs.
Samba 3 has been discontinued since Q1/2015. So I think it's time
to just wipe it from the pkgs. FuseSMB is pretty much abandoned,
upstream does not exist and it's also not as useful as it used to
be anyways.
osquery was marked as broken since April.
If somebody steps up to fix it, we can always revive it from the
histroy, but there's not much value in shipping completely broken things
in current master.

Required to build with Phonon 4.11 (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/71745).
Requires qttools for Qt5LinguistTools.
Qt4 support removed since Phonon no longer supports it either.

All code that was at xfce4-14 has been moved to xfce/*.
Old expressions that aren't rewritten might be abandoned or broken.
Additonally I've ported the xfce4-14 thunar expression to support
thunarPlugins. We can now support this interface in the Xfce module
again, although I'm not sure if we have any plugins packaged that support
latest thunar.
The SLIM project is abandoned and their last release was in 2013.
Because of this it poses a security risk to systems, no one is working
on it or picked up maintenance. It also lacks compatibility with systemd
and logind sessions. For users, there liikely isn't anything like slim
that's as lightweight in terms of dependencies.
There are no longer separate programs called SDLMAME or SDLMESS. Instead, the SDL capability is included in MAME and MESS, and the makefile will auto-detect if you are on a non-Windows system and run accordingly.
Testdisk/Photorec has been packaged twice. This deduplicates
the packages by consolidating the packages into one and throwing
an error upon use of the outdated package.
this also adds qphotorec, which was previously not built and ensures
it's wrapped correctly.
Please note that I took the liberty to merge the maintainers lists.
No dependencies within nixpkgs, and the package has not built
successfully since 2018-04-29 according to Hydra[1].

(Progresses Qt4 cleaup #33248, gstreamer cleanup #39975)
This is legacy version of a newer and legacy unmaintained version.
It is Qt4 and gstreamer 0.10.
This is a GNOME-related project, so Qt support dropped.
qt-gstreamers legacy has no dependencies.
This plugin is fairly outdated and depends on python2 libraries that
don't receive any updates either (xmpppy for instance[1]).
[1] https://pypi.org/project/xmpppy/
pyo3-pack has been renamed to maturin version 0.7.0. Other larger
changes are:
- Mixed rust/python layout
- Added PEP 517 support
- Support settings all applicable fields from the python core
metadata specification in Cargo.toml
This is a follow up of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66422
- rename icedtea_web to adoptopenjdk-icedtea-web to reflect the new governance
- add icedtea_web and icedtea8_web to aliases.nix for backwards compatibility
- update the attribute name where icedtea_web is used
* Use -rc version instead of a git checkout. Rename derivation
accordingly;
* Change PLUGIN_PATH similar to Arch;
* Fix install phase so that random files aren't installed and plugins
use separate directory;
* Use linkSoVersions to remove duplicate libraries.
https://github.com/LuminanceHDR points to the homepage
of this package which has continued development.
Wikipedia also cites that LuminanceHDR was formerly qtpfsgui.
* compton-git: 5.1-rc2 -> 6.2
vsync is now a boolean option, see:
https://github.com/yshui/compton/pull/130
menu-opacity is deprecated and there's a warning that says:
Please use the wintype option `opacity` of `popup_menu` and
`dropdown_menu` instead.
* nixos/compton: Keep vSync option backwards compatible
The new upstream option tries to make the best choice for the user.
Therefore the behaviour should stay the same with this backwards
compatibility patch.
* compton-git: Remove DRM option
It's deprecated and shouldn't be used.
https://github.com/yshui/compton/pull/130/files#r285505456
* compton-git: Remove new_backends option
Was removed in "Let old/new backends co-exist"
b0c5db9f5aa500dc3568cc6fe68493df98794d4d
* compton: 0.1_beta2.5 -> 6.2
Drop the legacy, unmaintained version and use the fork for real.
The slic3r-prusa3d package was renamed by upstream to PrusaSlicer with
the 2.0.0 release to reduce confusion with the slic3r package.
We compile against wxGTK 3.0, as with 3.1 the application crashes (see
PlexPy was renamed to Tautulli.
This renames the module as well as the application accordingly.
Aliases are kept for backwards compatibility.
# Conflicts:
# nixos/modules/services/misc/tautulli.nix
It is confusing that font-awesome_4 is the font,
one get when installing font-awesome-ttf.
I don't really see a use case to keep the old version around.
The tarball job fails when warnings are detected (and blocks channel).
And that's good, because `nix-env -qa` also gets these warnings.
I'm afraid we still don't have a good way to deprecate attributes,
exactly because the inability to distinguish these "listing actions"
from explicit usage (direct or transitive).
* Add an alias with a deprecation warning for `nxproxy` to avoid an
immediate breaking change.
* Use the default shell used in the build environment (`stdenv.shell`)
for patching. This shell is in the environment and thus used to patch
scripts using `patchShebangs`. The shell is referenced as `stdenv.shell`
in Makefiles to patch the remaining occurrences of `/bin/bash` in the
build environment.
postgis: cleanup
Another part of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/38698, though I did cleanup even more.
Moving docs to separate output should save another 30MB.
I did pin poppler to 0.61 just to be sure GDAL doesn't break again next
time poppler changes internal APIs.
* postgresql: reorganize package and it's extensions
Extracts some useful parts of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/38698,
in particular, it's vision that postgresql plugins should be namespaced.
SAPIC is bundled with Tamarin and doesn't have separate releases
anymore; add an appropriate 'throw' clause to the alias so people know
where to find it.

That means the following attributes are gone:
- liberation_ttf_v1_binary
- liberation_ttf_v2_binary
Because of this Libreoffice uses liberation source fonts
I've renamed these attributes because the binary form is gone:
- liberation_ttf_v1_from_source -> liberation_ttf_v1
- liberation_ttf_v2_from_source -> liberation_ttf_v2
They're aliases for these.
