Allow setting `sourceRoot` and `setSourceRoot` in the arguments to
`haskellPackages.mkDerivation`. These arguments are passed directly to
`stdenv.mkDerivation`.
It may be worth reading over `pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh` and checking
if there's other unsupported variables which may be useful. It may also
be worth adding an argument like `extraAttrs` to be passed to
`stdenv.mkDerivation` directly, as an escape hatch.
We are trying to use this more often but, at the moment, it's a manual
addition to overrides.nix. Add notes about the benefits of adding it and
how it can help identify missing dependencies.
This part of the manual explains how to use the
`nvidia-container-toolkit` in order to expose GPU's both for Docker
and Podman, as well as for a `docker-compose` environment.
Pscycopg2-binary is normally used in Python development to avoid having to build psycopg2 from source.
In nixpkgs we always want ot build from source whenever possible, but it can still be useful to provide a psycopg2-binary package.
This "fake" package exists to satisfy a dependency on psycopg2-binary, but still use the build from psycopg2.

`importNpmLock.buildNodeModules` returns a derivation with a pre-built `node_modules` directory, as imported by `importNpmLock`.
This is to be used together with `importNpmLock.hooks.linkNodeModulesHook` to facilitate `nix-shell`/`nix develop` based development workflows:
```nix
pkgs.mkShell {
packages = [
importNpmLock.hooks.linkNodeModulesHook
nodejs
];
npmDeps = importNpmLock.buildNodeModules {
npmRoot = ./.;
inherit nodejs;
};
}
```
will create a development shell where a `node_modules` directory is created & packages symlinked to the Nix store when activated.
This code is adapted from https://github.com/adisbladis/buildNodeModules
This was supposed to happen in #294504, but the commit was accidentally
left out when splitting off some libpq-related changes. Originated in
#179962, by Sandro.

* vimPlugins: introduce passthru.initLua for some plugins
as described in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/172538, some vim
plugins need some configuration to be able to work at all.
We choose not to patch those plugins and instead expose the necessary
configuration to make them work in `PLUGIN.passthru.initLua`.
For now the user can check if plugins have a `PLUGIN.passthru.initLua`
and if yes, prepend it to their own init.lua.
Maybe later we can revisit this to either patch them in a way that is
clear that it's a nixpkgs patch or by having the neovim wrapper pick
those snippets and autoadd them to init.lua ?

Fix overriding of vendorHash and various attributes via the fixed point
attribute support of stdenv.mkDerivation.
Pass as derivation attributes
goModules, modRoot, vendorHash, deleteVendor, and proxyVendor.
Move goModules and vendorHash out of passthru.

every other format is deprecated, so to imply that people should be setting it is misleading
(`pyproject = true` should also go away eventually, but is the way until
then)
so that meta.description examples shown in the documentation
align with recommendations given in the "Meta attributes" section
in pkgs/README.md.
The changes were made with the following commands:
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s(.)/"\U\2/'
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*".*\."' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/\."/"/'
Running the `update.py` script directly doesn't work anymore, so instead
replace all usages of it in the documentation with `nix-shell -p
vimPluginsUpdater --run 'vim-plugins-updater'`.
`mkComposerRepository` required `pname` and `version` since the beginning
(b36ad2f517), with the boolean attribute
becoming required later (3eb168da92).
this removes the hard-coded listing from the Haskell examples, which can later be replaced by
a dynamic one as for the Python interpreters

`rustc.config` is called `rust.rustcTarget` now, and
`{rustc -> rust}.platform`.
This is the new way (tm), and is preferred since
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/271707 -
though the documentation still is outdated, and some expressions in
nixpkgs were using the old interface.
This updates both.
Context:
@FlafyDev: I think flutter apps in nixpkgs should be required to specify
a flutter version. like flutter319 and flutter322 instead of using
flutter.

This makes `justStaticExecutables` error if the produced store path
contains references to GHC. This is almost always erroneous and due to
the generated `Paths_*` module being imported. This helps prevent
`justStaticExecutables` from producing binaries with closure sizes in
the gigabytes.

This change fixes cross-compilation for .NET packages (that are not
using .sln as project files). See relevant comment in the change list
for more details.
In addition to that, it removes dotnet-test-sdk that appears to be
broken, that is, dotnet --list-sdks does not recognize SDKs from PATH,
and when propagated from the check hook it was shadowed by inputs from
preceding hooks.
Note that dotnet-test-sdk used to work when it was introduced in PR
144062, but PR 155257 probably overlooked this case. However, currently
it is not used in Nixpkgs and I think dotnetCorePackages.combinePackages
should cover the intended use case for dotnet-test-sdk.
Fixes#256769
Repro + test of fix here: https://gitlab.com/ramirez7/bug-repros/-/merge_requests/1
Adds a `srcModifier` argument to `callCabal2nixWithOptions` to allow
customizing the source files used to generate the cabal file (e.g. to
support `hpack`/`package.yaml`).
In the past I was very active with Python packaging.
For several years now I was hardly around as maintainer,
so it does not make sense I am listed as a maintainer for
these makes. Looking back, I should have removed myself
as maintainer already much longer ago. Anyway, better late
than never.
It's been a fun ride, and I do intend to occasionally contribute
to Nixpkgs, but not in the same way it once was.
This was achieved using the following command:
sd 'wrapGAppsHook\b' wrapGAppsHook3 (rg -l 'wrapGAppsHook\b')
And then manually reverted the following changes:
- alias in top-level.nix
- function name in wrap-gapps-hook.sh
- comment in postFixup of at-spi2-core
- comment in gtk4
- comment in preFixup of 1password-gui/linux.nix
- comment in postFixup of qgis/unwrapped-ltr.nix and qgis/unwrapped.nix
- comment in postFixup of telegram-desktop
- comment in postFixup of fwupd
- buildCommand of mongodb-compass
- postFixup of xflux-gui
- comment in a patch in kdePackages.kde-gtk-config and plasma5Packages.kde-gtk-config
- description of programs.sway.wrapperFeatures.gtk NixOS option (manual rebuild)
Broken since the switch to PyPA's build/installer in
6c85fff302.
The hook was always janky and maintainers appear to not want its current
implementation in-tree. No replacement is currently planned.
However, this leaves the path open for future replacements as a broken
hook will no longer be installed by default.
Cython is a Python compiler that emits native .so modules. By default, python derivations run tests in the wrong directory to see these modules and tests fail.
Issue #255262 documents the root cause and solution for this problem.
This PR adds a description of the problem and the most common solution to the test troubleshooting list.
This PR refactor CUDA setup hooks, and in particular
autoAddOpenGLRunpath and autoAddCudaCompatRunpathHook, that were using a
lot of code in common (in fact, I introduced the latter by copy pasting
most of the bash script of the former). This is not satisfying for
maintenance, as a recent patch showed, because we need to duplicate
changes to both hooks.
This commit abstract the common part in a single shell script that
applies a generic patch action to every elf file in the output. For
autoAddOpenGLRunpath the action is just addOpenGLRunpath (now
addDriverRunpath), and is few line function for
autoAddCudaCompatRunpathHook.
Doing so, we also takes the occasion to use the newer addDriverRunpath
instead of the previous addOpenGLRunpath, and rename the CUDA hook to
reflect that as well.

Following [Best Practices](https://nix.dev/guides/best-practices#with-scopes),
`with` is a problematic language construction and should be avoided.
Usually it is employed like a "factorization": `[ X.A X.B X.C X.D ]` is written
`with X; [ A B C D ]`.
However, as shown in the link above, the syntatical rules of `with` are not so
intuitive, and this "distributive rule" is very selective, in the sense that
`with X; [ A B C D ]` is not equivalent to `[ X.A X.B X.C X.D ]`.
However, this factorization is still useful to "squeeze" some code, especially
in lists like `meta.maintainers`.
On the other hand, it becomes less justifiable in bigger scopes. This is
especially true in cases like `with lib;` in the top of expression and in sets
like `meta = with lib; { . . . }`.
That being said, this patch removes most of example code in the current
documentation.
The exceptions are, for now
- doc/functions/generators.section.md
- doc/languages-frameworks/coq.section.md
because, well, they are way more complicated, and I couldn't parse them
mentally - yet another reason why `with` should be avoided!
This is an alternative to `fetchNpmDeps` that is notably different in that it uses metadata from `package.json` & `package-lock.json` instead of specifying a fixed-output hash.
Notable features:
- IFD free.
- Only fetches a node dependency once. No massive FODs.
- Support for URL, Git and path dependencies.
- Uses most of the existing `npmHooks`
`importNpmLock` can be used _only_ in the cases where we need to check in a `package-lock.json` in the tree.
Currently this means that we have 13 packages that would be candidates to use this function, though I expect most usage to be in private repositories.
This is upstreaming the builder portion of https://github.com/adisbladis/buildNodeModules into nixpkgs (different naming but the code is the same).
I will archive this repository and consider nixpkgs the new upstream once it's been merged.
For more explanations and rationale see https://discourse.nixos.org/t/buildnodemodules-the-dumbest-node-to-nix-packaging-tool-yet/35733
Example usage:
``` nix
stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "my-nodejs-app";
version = "0.1.0";
src = ./.;
nativeBuildInputs = [
importNpmLock.hooks.npmConfigHook
nodejs
nodejs.passthru.python # for node-gyp
npmHooks.npmBuildHook
npmHooks.npmInstallHook
];
npmDeps = buildNodeModules.fetchNodeModules {
npmRoot = ./.;
};
}
```
I was looking at
https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#buildpythonpackage-parameters to
import a Python package and noticed that the link for the `hooks` in
`pyproject` option is broken due to a typo (used <kbd>0</kbd> instead of
<kbd>)</kbd>).

Much like the previous commit that adds dependencies &
optional-dependencies this aligns PEP-517 build systems with how they
are defined in PEP-518/PEP-621.
The naming `build-system` (singular) is aligned with upstream Python standards.
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161835 we've had the
concept of `passthru.optional-dependencies` for Python optional deps.
Having to explicitly put optional-dependencies in the passthru attrset
is a bit strange API-wise, even though it semantically makes sense.
This change unifies the handling of non-optional & optional Python
dependencies using the names established from PEP-621 (standardized pyproject.toml project metadata).
There is an arbitrary mapping being done right now between
nixpkgs lua infrastructre and luarocks config schema.
This is confusing if you use lua so let's make it possible to use the
lua names in the nixpkgs, thanks to the lib.generators.toLua convertor.
The only nixpkgs thing to remember should be to put the config into `luarocksConfig`
`buildLuarocksPackage.extraVariables` should become `buildLuarocksPackage.luarocksConfig.variables`
I believe it would be helpful to better explain how to use
`nuget-to-nix` for those who aren't familar with the .NET ecosystem as I
was personally stumped on how to use it.
`lib.recursiveUpdate` indiscriminately recurses into all attribute sets,
also into derivations. This means that it is possible that evaluating a
derivation in the final haskell package set can cause something in
`prev.haskell` to be forced by `recursiveUpdate`, potentially causing an
evaluation error that should not happen.
It can be fixed using a well-crafted predicate for
`lib.recursiveUpdateUntil`, but most robust is just explicitly writing
out the desired merging manually.
lualatex assumes a writeable font cache relative to `$HOME`, for nix this has two implications.
First, the cache might diverge from the nix store if users use LuaLaTeX.
Second, `$HOME` needs to be set to a writable path in derivations.
It is fine to use `with` on the inputs, since that increases the
overall readability of the package.
Removes `wheel` from `nativeBuildInputs`, since it is a result of
cargo culting from an earlier setuptools example, that was wrong, and
it is not required, since it is provided by setuptools itself.
The python-updates branch was formerly called python-unstable, but the
new branch name was never mentioned in the docs. This commit changes the
branch name in the docs to python-updates.
We get a dependency list with pub2nix now. We can no longer easily distinguish between development dependency dependencies and regular dependency dependencies, but we weren't doing this anyway.
