two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
Because llvmPackages_latest is used in Nixpkgs, by quite a few
packages, it's difficult to keep it up to date, because updating it
requires some level of confidence that every package that uses it is
going to keep working after the update. The result of this is that
llvmPackages_latest is not updated, and so we end up in the situation
that "latest" is two versions older than the latest version we
actually provide. This is confusing and unexpected.
"But won't this end up fragmenting our LLVM versions, if every package
previously using _latest is separately pinned to LLVM 14?", I hear you
ask. No. That fragmentation is already happening, even with an
llvmPackages_latest, because packages that actually require the
_latest_ version of LLVM (15/16), have already been decoupled from
llvmPackages_latest since it hasn't been upgraded. So like it or not,
we can't escape packages depending on specific recent LLVMs. The only
real fix is to get better at keeping the default LLVM up to
date (which I'm reasonably confident we're getting into a better
position to be feasibly better able to do).
So, unless we want to double down on providing a confusingly named
"llvmPackages_latest" attribute that refers to some arbitrary LLVM
version that's probably not the latest one (or even the latest one
available in Nixpkgs), we only have two options here: either we don't
provide such an attribute at all, or we don't use it in Nixpkgs so we
don't become scared to bump it as soon as we have a new LLVM available.
mostly no rendering changes. some lists (like simplelist) don't have an
exact translation to markdown, so we use a comma-separated list of
literals instead.
This reverts commit fb6d63f3fd.
I really hope this finally fixes#99236: evaluation on Hydra.
This time I really did check basically the same commit on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1618011
Right now I don't have energy to find what exactly is wrong in the
commit, and it doesn't seem important in comparison to nixos-unstable
channel being stuck on a commit over one week old.
This is more robust than setting via environment variable, though it does come
later in the load sequence. An added benefit is affecting the current
session.
Currently, this uses the somewhat crude method of setting LD_PRELOAD in the
system environment. This works, but should be considered a stepping stone to
a more robust solution.
