This is useful to teach `importCargoLock` how to download crates from a
registry other than crates.io. Specifically, we publish our own crates
to an internal registry and this feature lets us pull from it seamlessly.
This commit adds basic support for tree-sitter in the emacs build,
such that (if the user opts into tree-sitter support), tree-sitter
will be enabled and binary library files for tree-sitter can be
included in the `lib` directory of packages passed to
`emacsWithPackages`. The libraries will be aggregated and included in
treesit-extra-load-path.
The previous pattern for this in the community was to add tree-sitter
libaries by patching emacs's `RUNPATH` with `patchelf` in a post-fixup
phase. However, this has the substantial drawback that two different
emacs installations with different lists of available tree-sitter
libraries must be entirely separate builds. By supplying the
tree-sitter libraries in the wrapping layer of `emacsWithpackages`, it
becomes possible to share a single, more-cacheable "core emacs".
This support defaults to "on" only in emacs 29 and up, since previous
versions do not support tree-sitter out of the box.
`fixupPhase` move `$out/man` to `$out/share/man`. So the information of their location in the dune-project file is outdated which breaks dependencies on packages ( `(package foo)`).
Sometimes it's more ergonomic to set up the build environment in
hooks, to add to the default behaviour rather than replacing it. It's
very surprising that the fetcher works fine with a custom unpackPhase,
but not with custom preUnpack or postUnpack.
Packages that use preUnpack or postUnpack and Cargo FODs seem to be
very rare. I searched Nixpkgs for files containing one of
"cargoHash", "cargoDeps", and "cargoSha256", and one of "preUnpack" or
"postUnpack", and only found two such packages:
python3.pkgs.tokenizers and rustdesk. Neither of their Cargo FOD
hashes are affected by this change. So if that's any indication,
we're unlikely to be breaking many out-of-tree hashes with these
changes either.
Currently, separate-debug-info adds a debug output, and the build fail when it is
not created. the output is only created when at least one elf file is
stripped.
As a result, adding separateDebugInfo = true on a lib will break the
static build (unless the lib also contains an executable). In order to
not have to remember to add an exception every time, let's just create
the debug output unconditionally.
(and gitiles)
This allows fetching a patch from servers that return them
base64-encoded, like this:
fetchpatch {
name = "gcc.patch";
url = "f37ae3b1a8^!?format=TEXT";
decode = "base64 -d";
sha256 = "11j1bqz2p8xrfzgfrylgdvmqs45489c4ckl7l0ra1dpfgbqy94a8";
}
Fixes linker errors while building build.rs where it tries to link libiconv but cannot find it.
Rust executable build for Darwin need libiconv, and indeed buildInputs already has this case handled.
So why is another change needed? Suppose we are cross compiling from Darwin (the build platform) to something else, and the package has a build.rs build script.
The build script is built for the build platform (Darwin) and is also a regular Rust executable, needing libiconv, but due to cross compilation (and strict deps) we need an extra nativeBuildInput.
writeShellApplication currently uses the unwrapped (passthru) attribute
which is simply defined as the ShellCheck Haskell package.
Unfortunately the unwrapped version contains everything and the kitchen
sink, while the bin output of the top-level shellcheck package contains
only the static shellcheck executable.
In other words, by using writeShellApplication, currently 3GB of
packages have to be unnecessarily fetched just to run the checkPhase.
$ nix path-info -Sh $(nix build --print-out-paths --no-link nixpkgs#shellcheck.unwrapped)
/nix/store/23x8702b9kqn0r8swah05ky7w5fnh6m2-ShellCheck-0.9.0 3.0G
$ nix path-info -Sh $(nix build --print-out-paths --no-link nixpkgs#shellcheck.bin)
/nix/store/594izb2jz3c57c7hgxfnb6irypnr4575-shellcheck-0.9.0-bin 45.3M
There is no benefit to using shellcheck.unwrapped in this case.
Therefore, replace shellcheck.unwrapped with lib.getExe shellcheck.
