GNU tar will apparently silently include mtime of files if --mtime is
passed with an unrecognized date format. This led to hash instability
from those mtimes and this fixes it to force all mtimes to epoch
timestamp 0.
Previously, we stored the tarballs from the hosted Git providers directly in the cache. However, as we've seen with `fetchFromGitHub` etc, these files may change subtly.
Given this, this commit repacks the dependencies before storing them in the cache.
A `package-lock.json` file can contain multiple instances of the same dependency, which caused unnecessary downloads and duplicate index entries in the generated cache.
The `sparseCheckout` argument allows the user to specify directories or
patterns of files, which Git uses to filter files it should check-out.
Git expects a multi-line string on stdin ("newline-delimited list", see
`git-sparse-checkout(1)`), but within nixpkgs it is more consistent to
use a list of strings instead. The list elements are joined to a
multi-line string only before passing it to the builder script.
A deprecation warning is emitted if a (multi-line) string is passed to
`sparseCheckout`, but for the time being it is still accepted.
To the user running the docker image. If a Nix binary is available in
the resulting derivation, this then behaves like a single-user Nix
installation, except that already-written /nix/store paths can't be
changed. Most notably it makes Nix work not have to rely on a chroot
store in the image
PostScript Printer Description (ppd) files
describe printer features and capabilities.
They are usually evaluated by CUPS to convert
print jobs into a format suitable for a printer.
The conversion is often accomplished by commands
or even short shell scripts inside the ppd files.
ppd files are included in many printer driver packages.
Their scripts sometimes refer to other executables;
some of them are more common (like `perl`),
others are more exotic (like `rastertohp`).
If an executable is called with its name alone,
the effects of the ppd file depend on whether
the executable is in the PATH of CUPS,
and on the executable's version.
If an executable is called with an absolut path
(like `/usr/bin/perl`), it won't work at all in NixOS.
The commit at hand adds a setup hook that uses
the `fixupPhase` to substitute certain executable's
invocations in pdd files with absolute paths.
To use it, add the hook to `nativeBuildInputs` and
provide a list of executable names in `ppdFileCommands`.
Each executable must be available in the
package that is being built, or in `buildInputs`.
The setup hook's script then looks for ppd files in
`share/cups/model` and `share/ppds` in each output,
and replaces executable names with their absolute paths.
If ppd files need to be patched in unorthodox locations or
the setup hook needs to be invoked manually for other reasons,
one may leave the list `ppdFileCommands` empty to
avoid automatic processing of ppd files, then call
the shell function `patchPpdFileCommands` directly.
Details are described in the file `patch-ppd-hook.sh`.
Notes on the motivation for this setup hook:
Most packages in nixpkgs that provide
ppd files do not patch those ppd files at all.
This is not fatal when the executables are just called
with their names since the user can add packages
with the executables to `services.printing.drivers`.
E.g. if the user adds `pkgs.perl`, then all ppd
files that invoke `perl` will work as expected.
Nevertheless, to make these ppd files independent of
their execution environment, command invocations should
be substituted with absolut paths into the nix store.
This is similar to patching shebang lines so scripts can be
called independently of having the interpreter in the PATH.
The hook script in this commit is meant to support new packages
`foomatic-db*` which will generate several thousands of
ppd files referencing a plethora of different executables.
During development of these packages, I realized that
it's quite hard to patch ppd files in a robust way.
While binary names like `rastertokpsl` seem to be sufficiently
unique to be patched with `sed`, names like `date` or `gs`
are hard to patch without producing "false positives",
i.e., coincidental occurences of the executable's name that do
*not* refer to the executable and should not be patched at all.
As this problem also affects other packages,
it seems reasonable to put a robust implementation
in its own setup hook so that other
packages can use it without much effort.
Notes on the implementation:
The ppd file format is far from trivial.
The basic structure are key-value pairs;
keys may occur multiple times.
Only a small subset of keys may contain
executable names or shell scripts in their values.
Some values may span multiple lines;
a linebreak might even occur in the middle of a token.
Some executable names also occur in other keys by accident
where they must not be substituted (e.g. `gs` or `date`).
It is necessary to provide the list of command
names that will be patched for two reasons:
ppd files often contain "tokens" that might look
like commands (e.g. "file" or "host") but aren't;
these would erroneously get patched.
Also, looking for everything that might be a command
would slow down the patching process considerably.
The implementation uses `awk` to detect
keys that might contain executable names;
only their values are treated for substitution.
This avoids most cases of "overzealous" substitutions.
Since values may span multiple lines,
`sed` alone (while faster than `awk`) cannot focus
its substitution capabilities on relevant keys.
An elaborate set of regular expressions further helps
to minimize the probability of "false positives".
Several tricks are employed to speed up `awk`.
Notably, relevant files are identified with
`grep` before `awk` is applied to those files only.
Note that the script probably cannot handle fancy command
names (like spaces or backslashes as part of the name).
Also, there are still edge cases that the script would
mistakenly skip, e.g. if a shell script contains a
line break in the middle of an executable's name;
although ppd files permit such constellations,
I have yet to see one.
ppd files may be gzipped.
The setup hook accepts gzipped ppd files:
It decompresses them, substitutes paths, then recompresses them.
However, Nix cannot detect substituted paths as
runtime dependencies in compressed ppd files.
To ensure substituted paths are propagated as
runtime dependencies, the script adds each substituted
path to the variable `propagatedBuildInputs`.
Since this might not be enough for multi-output packages,
those paths are also written directly to
`nix-support/propagated-build-inputs`.
See the comment in `patch-ppd-hook.sh` for details.
Finally, the setup hook comes with a small test that
probes some edge cases with an artificial ppd file.

There are two problems: first that we end up splitting on spaces in the
loop. Even when that is fixed, we still would split on spaces in the
`export` inside the loop. We need to guard against both.
Fixes#199298
Confirmed that it fixes the case mentioned in the ticket:

I think this is going to cause a rebuild of every Rust package even if
they were unaffected, not much we can do here.

When building a docker image using `dockertools.buildLayeredImage`, the
resulting image layers are passed to `jq` through the command line. When
building an image with too many layers this would exceed the maximum
command line argument length.
Hence, we store the list of layers in the Nix store and pass them to
`jq` as a file argument using `--slurpfile`.
Fixes#140908.
*Flags implies a list
slightly relevant:
> stdenv: start deprecating non-list configureFlags https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/173172
the makeInstalledTests function in `nixos/tests/installed-tests/default.nix` isn't available outside of nixpkgs so
it's not a breaking change
Tests from the bazelTestTargets argument will be run before the build. The new bazelTestFlags argument can be used to pass additional flags to this phase.
The source used to download a particular package still isn't
deterministic in nuget. Even worse, the hash of the package can vary
between sources. This makes nuget use the first enabled source
containing the package.
The order of the dependencies may be slightly different because it now
uses glob order of the lower-case package names and versions, instead of
sorting the output.
If the package actually downloaded was the first source that contains
the package, then it will be hashed from disk to avoid downloading it
again.
On darwin clang driver always sets -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 under asan.
This causes -Werror to trip over macro redefinition:

To avoid it let's always explicitly undefine it first before redefining.
Fixes the problem introduced by 12b3066aae
which caused nixos/release.nix to return the wrong attributes, while
intending to only affect nixos/lib's runTest.
This also removes callTest from the test options, because callTest is
only ever invoked by all-tests.nix.
There are the following issues with the current implementation:
* `fetchurl` with a tarball from GitHub appears to break occasionally
because the tarballs are not necessarily reproducible. Because of
that, `fetchFromGitHub` unpacks the tarball already because the
contents are actually reproducible in contrast to the tarball. To have
the same behavior here, we use `fetchzip` now (and `applyPatches` on
top to apply additional patches if needed).
* Fixes the way how patches are applied. Previously, when having patches
for a git checkout of the app, these wouldn't apply because the
`appname-version` prefix is missing.
* Because all old hashes are broken with this, I added an evaluation
check that breaks evaluation when using the old API (i.e. with
`name`/`version` which are not needed anymore).
This breaks the builder when a nix-shell or keepBuildTree is used. The
issue occurs because paths to cargo lockfiles are read with NIX_BUILD_TOP,
which is not reliable.
This breaks a nix-shell because NIX_BUILD_TOP simply is not set, causing
an invalid path to be used. This can be worked around using
NIX_BUILD_TOP=$PWD, but that obviously is not great.
This breaks keepBuildTree because it changes the working directory to a
different path than NIX_BUILD_TOP. Since the lockfiles are copied based
on the working directory, but read based on NIX_BUILD_TOP, this causes
the hook to not be able to find them.
This was solved by both reading these files based on the working directory,
using absolute paths to avoid having to traverse back in the directory tree.
Fixes: #138554
see https://systemd.io/PORTABLE_SERVICES/ about the definition of
portable services. this tooling is analogous to the `pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage`
tooling and is called `pkgs.portableService`.
systemd (since version 239) supports a concept of “Portable Services”.
“Portable Services” are a delivery method for system services that uses
two specific features of container management:
* Applications are bundled. I.e. multiple services, their binaries and all
their dependencies are packaged in an image, and are run directly from it.
* Stricter default security policies, i.e. sandboxing of applications.
The primary tool for interacting with Portable Services is portablectl,
and they are managed by the systemd-portabled service.
This function will create a squashfs raw image in `result/$pname_$version.raw`
that has the required files by the portable services spec, and all the
dependencies for the running program in the nix store.
There is context here that I needed when resolving an issue in which
libc was added to NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE before the C++ stdlib that took
me awhile to understand.
It was suggested to me that this context be included as a comment,
since it is not obvious and could help others in the future.
Previously we had an assert that would complain when nugetDeps wasnt set,
which also didnt allow any passthru attributes (like fetch-deps) to be
build. That causes a cycle where you need nugetDeps to fetch the nuget
deps, but arent able to build the script to do so.
For example, this script doesn't work for `xivlauncher` because its
proper `pname` is `XIVLauncher`, and `mktemp` complains about "too few
X's":
$ mktemp -td "XXXXXX-XIVLauncher-home"
mktemp: too few X's in template ‘XXXXXX-XIVLauncher-home’
vs
$ mktemp -td "XIVLauncher-home-XXXXXX"
/tmp/XIVLauncher-home-EdGMei
This makes buildDotnetModule restore nuget dependencies for the
platforms set in meta.platforms. This should help with generating
lockfiles for platforms other than the host machine.
