This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads: Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files. This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at the bottom).

longDescription = ''
|
|
GNU M4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro
|
|
processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some
|
|
extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional
|
|
parameters to macros). GNU M4 also has built-in functions for
|
|
including files, running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.
|
|
|
|
GNU M4 is a macro processor in the sense that it copies its
|
|
input to the output expanding macros as it goes. Macros are
|
|
either builtin or user-defined and can take any number of
|
|
arguments. Besides just doing macro expansion, m4 has builtin
|
|
functions for including named files, running UNIX commands,
|
|
doing integer arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways,
|
|
recursion etc... m4 can be used either as a front-end to a
|
|
compiler or as a macro processor in its own right.
