API change:
`cargoParallelTestThreads` suggests that this attribute sets the
number of threads used during tests, while it is actually a boolean
option (use 1 thread or NIX_BUILD_CORES threads). In the hook, this
is replaced by a more canonical name `dontUseCargoParallelTests`.
The directory in the tarball of vendored dependencies contains `name`,
which is by default set to `${pname}-${version}`. This adds an
additional attribute to permit setting the name to something of the
user's choosing.
Since `cargoSha256`/`cargoHash` depend on the name of the directory of
vendored dependencies, `cargoDepsName` can be used to e.g. make the
hash invariant to the package version by setting `cargoDepsName =
pname`.
The previous commit stopped systemd from looking for system units in
/etc/systemd-mutable/system, which was a Dysnomia-specific path.
While this script doesn't seem to be used anywhere inside nixpkgs (also
not in the gone-since #110799 Dysnomia), its fallback mode (when
/etc/systemd/system is read-only) did write units to that
Dysnomia-specific path, which systemd now doesn't look at anymore.
It might be up for another debate on whether systems with read-only
/etc/systemd/system should probably just use /run/systemd/system, and
not some NixOS-specific paths, as such conditions can happen on other
distros too, but let's pick the other NixOS-specific path
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/lib/systemd/system for now, which is
probably better than a path that surely is never looked at.
- API change: remove the `target` argument of `buildRustPackage`, the
target should always be in sync with the C/C++ compiler that is used.
- Gathering of binaries has moved from `buildPhase` to `installPhase`,
this simplifies the hook and orders this functionality logically
with the installation logic.
This caused shebangs that were already store paths to be rewritten.

Example difference:
$ echo "hello world" | tail -c+3
llo world
$ str="hello world"; echo ${str:3}
lo world
/usr/bin/env seems to be no longer be present in the sandbox. This means
that fetchcvs would fail with a “not found error” whenever CVS_RSH was
necessary.
We fix this by simply setting the current $SHELL as shebang.
Alternatively also setting it to /bin/sh statically would be possible.
4a5c49363a added some more commands after
`extraPostFetch` but concatenated them without a separating newline.
Which means, that since that commit
fetchzip { ..., extraPostFetch = ''rm -f "$out"/some-file''; }
now actually runs the following shell command
rm -f "$out"/some-file"chmod -R a-w "$out"
thus deleting "$out". Which is very unfortunate.
Especially since this actually happens on master for all `fetchFromBitbucket`
derivations. But since the results are fixed-output users bulding with hydra
cache enabled are not hitting this for not recently updated derivations yet.
The Everthing module is not part of a library and should therefore
not be copied to the nix store.
This is particularly bad, if the Everything module is defined in
an agda library included directory, e.g. consider an agda-lib with
include: .
and Everything.agda in the project root (.), in which case the
Everything module would become part of the library.
If multiple such projects are in the dependency tree, the Everything
module becomes ambiguous and the build would fail.
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.
This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.
`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.
The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Since fdf32154fc, we no longer allow
missing modules in the initrd. Unfortunately since before this commit,
the modules-closure script would also fail on missing firmware, which
is a very common case (e.g. xhci-pci.ko.xz lists renesas_usb_fw.mem as
dependent firmware). Fix this by only issuing a warning instead.
This was already fixed on non-Darwin, but the fix missed that it was
also reintroduced for the Darwin code path at the same time.

Warning about future breaking changes is wrong.
- It suggests that the maintainers don't value backwards compatibility.
They do.
- It implies that other parts of Nixpkgs won't ever break. They will.
- It implies that a well-defined "public" interface exists. It doesn't.
- If the reasons above didn't apply, it should have been in the manual
instead.
Breaking changes will come, especially to the interface. That can be the
only way we can make progress without breaking the image _contents_.
I don't think dockerTools is any different from most of Nixpkgs in
these regards.
