It won't be enough to fix cross in all cases, but it is in at least
one: pywayland. I've only made the change in cases I'm confident it's
correct, as it would be wrong to change this when python.interpreter
is used in wrappers, and possibly when it's used for running tests.
The name should end in Array per the current conventions.
This change also contains some minor formatting fixes, as the heading
levels were inconsistent.
The nixpkgs manual contains references to both sri hash and explicit
sha256 attributes. This is at best confusing to new users. Since the
final destination is exclusive use of sri hashes, see nixos/rfcs#131,
might as well push new users in that direction gently.
Notable exceptions to sri hash support are builtins.fetchTarball,
cataclysm-dda, coq, dockerTools.pullimage, elixir.override, and
fetchCrate. None, other than builtins.fetchTarball, are fundamentally
incompatible, but all currently accept explicit sha256 attributes as
input. Because adding backwards compatibility is out of scope for this
change, they have been left intact, but migration to sri format has been
made for any using old hash formats.
All hashes have been manually tested to be accurate, and updates were
only made for missing upstream artefacts or bugs.
Python package sets can be overridden by overriding an interpreter
and passing in `packageOverrides = self: super: {...};`. This is fine
in case you need a single interpreter, however, it does not help you
when you want to override all sets.
With this change it is possible to override all sets at once by
appending a list of "extensions" to `pythonPackagesExtensions`.
From reading the implementation you might wonder why a list is used, and
not
`lib.composeExtensions`? The reason is the latter requires knowledge of
the library function. This approach should be easier for most users
as it is similar to how we append to lists of e.g. inputs or patches
when overriding a derivation.
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.
Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist
While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.
The distinction between the inputs doesn't really make sense in the
mkShell context. Technically speaking, we should be using the
nativeBuildInputs most of the time.
So in order to make this function more beginner-friendly, add "packages"
as an attribute, that maps to nativeBuildInputs.
This commit also updates all the uses in nixpkgs.
