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.
This was removed to simplify configuration. One could create a function that converts the plug format to vim native package format (only plugin system supported for neovim) and upstream it to nixpkgs if that's an issue
it is possible to maintain an out of tree list of neovim plugins with this method

This was a source of massive confusion for me when I first learned my way around nixpkgs' rust machinery. I seek to save others from that confusion.
* `buildRustPackage` should have been named `buildRustPackageUsingCargo`
* `buildRustCrate` should have been named `buildRustPackageUsingNix`
It is, unfortunately, too late to fix this. Let's do the next best thing and make the names `buildRustPackage` and `buildRustCrate` very prominent in the documentation, so readers see immediately that they need to learn the following jargon:
* `buildRustPackage` means "build this Rust crate by calling `cargo` in one (or two) monolithic derivations"
* `buildRustCrate` means "build this Rust crate by calling `rustc` in one derivation for each crate"
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.
Fixed a few grammatical issues. Was uncertain how to address Treesitter, as the homepage itself is inconsistent, using all combinations of Treesitter, Tree-sitter, treesitter and tree-sitter.
Sometimes I want to pass a different implementation of `mkNugetDeps`.
For example in private repos, it can be handy to use `__noChroot = true`
and bypass the deps.nix generation altogether. Or some Nuget packages
ship with ELF binaries that need to be patched, and that's best done as
soon as possible.
Currently `buildPerlPackage` prefixes the Perl version to the package's
`pname`, which results in `nix run` not being able to work for any
packages build with it out of the box. This commit corrects that and
phases out the ability to set `name` directly, as well as refactors the
code to not require `cleanedAttrs`.
- put `findlib` in `buildInputs` of `mkCoqDerivation` to make sure `coq` packages find their ocaml plugin dependencies,
- use `propagatedBuildInputs` to make sure ocaml plugin dependencies are in path,
- updated `coqPackage.heq` (broken url),
- fixed use of `DESTDIR` and `COQMF_COQLIB` in mkCoqDerivation,
- adding `COQCORELIB` environement variable to put ocaml plugin files in the right place,
- make `metaFetch` available from `coqPackages`
- use propagatedBuildInputs to make sure ocaml plugin stuff is in path
- updated coqPackage.heq (broken url)
- fixed use of `DESTDIR` and `COQMF_COQLIB` in mkCoqDerivation
- adding `COQCORELIB` environement variable to put ocaml plugin files in the right place
- make metaFetch available from `coqPackages`
There are many different versions of the `cudatoolkit` and related
cuda packages, and it can be tricky to ensure they remain compatible.
- `cudaPackages` is now a package set with `cudatoolkit`, `cudnn`, `cutensor`, `nccl`, as well as `cudatoolkit` split into smaller packages ("redist");
- expressions should now use `cudaPackages` as parameter instead of the individual cuda packages;
- `makeScope` is now used, so it is possible to use `.overrideScope'` to set e.g. a different `cudnn` version;
- `release-cuda.nix` is introduced to easily evaluate cuda packages using hydra.
The current wrapper only includes vim, gvim and the man pages
(optionally). This rewrite distinguishes two scenarios, which I expect
cover the majority of use cases:
- standalone mode, when `name != "vim"`, means the user already has a
vim in scope and only wants to add a customized version with a
different name. In this case we only include wrappers for `/bin/*vim`.
- non-standalone mode, when `name == "vim"`, means the user expects a
normal vim package that uses the specified configuration. In this case
we include everything in the original derivation, with wrappers for
all the executables that accept a vimrc.
Few things going on in this commit:
Do not print "Building subPakage $pkg" message if actually going to skip the
package. This was confusing to me when I was trying to figure out how to set
excludedPackages and seeing the "Building subpackage $pkg" messages for
packages I wanted to skip. Turns out this messages was being printed before
checking if we actually wanted to build the package and not necessarily that my
excludedPackages was wrong.
Make go-packages look a little bit more like go-modules, by adding testdata to
the default list of excluded packages.
This commit also does some setup outside the buildGoDir function so that we
avoid checking `excludedPackages` for every package and cut down the number
of grep calls by half since we always want at least one grep for the default
excludedPackages, might as well just add to the patterns being checked.
Finally, adds documentation for usage of excludedPackages and subPackages. I
had to read the implementation to figure out how to correctly use these
function arguments since there was no documentation and different uses in the
code base. So this commit documents usage of the arguments.
CONFLICT (rename/add): Rename pkgs/development/python-modules/jsonwatch/default.nix->pkgs/tools/misc/jsonwatch/default.nix in nixpkgs/master. Added pkgs/tools/misc/jsonwatch/default.nix in HEAD
I found out how to use aspell with a custom dictionary and so ran that
on `rust.section.md`.
These changes are trivial consistency in spelling and nomenclature.
This stems from a discussion [here](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/what-rust-overlay-do-you-use-and-why-advice-appreciated/15412)
I removed an entire section because I feel like that duplicated
Mozilla's original instructions on how to consume the overlay.
The goal here is to simply the "getting started with Rust" in a nix or
NixOS environment.
I will try to do some follow up work to update the code snippets and
output. nightly is on `1.57.0-nightly` :)
As far as I can tell, a8efb2053f removed
the `target =` escape hatch.

The current behaviour for generate-r-packages.R is to delete
packages that have been remove upstream. This patch changes the
behaviour to mark packages as broken rather than removing them.
This has the advantage of never breaking expressions, which
previously occured when a package with overrides in default.nix
was deleted. As a result, the update procedure is simplified,
allowing automated updates to the package tree to run, and
additionally if a package is re-established upstream the previous
overrides still exist.
- Reuse build phase from the `buildDunePackage` function.
- Only install the package that was just built (useful for monorepo support).
- Introduces `opam-name` to override the default package name to build with Dune.
Trying to reuse the update scripts used by kakoune/vim to provide the
user with an unified convergence. Some stuff doesn't work yet (parallel
download, caching) but I (anyone else welcome to try too) will improve
it in other PRs.
Simpler method of setting tags rather than using some combination of buildFlags, buildFlagsArray, preBuild, etc
Using `lib.concatStringsSep ","` as space separated tags are deprecated in go.
The current example in the manual no longer builds, mainly because
`useDune2 = true` is required, but also because the inputs have changed.
The new examples are copied verbatim from nixpkgs.
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.
Previously it was not possible to define multiple ldflags, since only
the last definition applies, and there's some quoting issues with
`buildFlagsArray`. With the new `ldflags` argument it's possible to do
this, e.g.
ldflags = drv.ldflags or [] ++ [
"-X main.Version=1.0"
]
can now properly append a flag without clearing all previous ldflags.
This change introduces the cargoLock argument to buildRustPackage,
which can be used in place of cargo{Sha256,Hash} or cargoVendorDir. It
uses the importCargoLock function to build the vendor
directory. Differences compared to cargo{Sha256,Hash}:
- Requires a Cargo.lock file.
- Does not require a Cargo hash.
- Retrieves all dependencies as fixed-output derivations.
This makes buildRustPackage much easier to use as part of a Rust
project, since it does not require updating cargo{Sha256,Hash} for
every change to the lock file.
This function can be used to create an output path that is a cargo
vendor directory. In contrast to e.g. fetchCargoTarball all the
dependent crates are fetched using fixed-output derivations. The
hashes for the fixed-output derivations are gathered from the
Cargo.lock file.
Usage is very simple, e.g.:
importCargoLock {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
}
would use the lockfile from the current directory.
The implementation of this function is based on Eelco Dolstra's
import-cargo:
https://github.com/edolstra/import-cargo/blob/master/flake.nix
Compared to upstream:
- We use fetchgit in place of builtins.fetchGit.
- Sync to current cargo vendoring.
This will ensure the sections have stable links as well as prevent conflicts (pandoc uses heading text for ids and DocBook requires unique ids across the book).

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.
Android is deprecating ndk.dir in favor of specifying exact NDK
version in Gradle configuration. Ensure that we can support multiple
NDKs, and link them into the location the Android Gradle Plugin expects.
Describe how to package a plugin that doesn't exist in nixpkgs (and also how to include an external file).

- This is the first packages which uses Dune in order to build and install
so I had to refactor build-support/coq/default.nix in order to support it.
- I added a new feature: one can now release.v.sha256 empty to try to download
with a fake sha256, hence failures are reported and one can copy paste the
sha256 given by the error message.
- I updated the documentation of languages-frameworks/coq.section.md accordingly.
The `checkType` argument of buildRustPackage was not used anymore
since the refactoring of `buildRustPackage` into hooks. This was
an oversight that is fixed by this change.
The check type can also be passed directly to cargoCheckHook using the
`cargoCheckType` environment variable.
API change:
`cargoParallelTestThreads` suggests that this attribute sets the
number of threads used during tests, while it is actually a boolean
option (use 1 thread or NIX_BUILD_CORES threads). In the hook, this
is replaced by a more canonical name `dontUseCargoParallelTests`.
The directory in the tarball of vendored dependencies contains `name`,
which is by default set to `${pname}-${version}`. This adds an
additional attribute to permit setting the name to something of the
user's choosing.
Since `cargoSha256`/`cargoHash` depend on the name of the directory of
vendored dependencies, `cargoDepsName` can be used to e.g. make the
hash invariant to the package version by setting `cargoDepsName =
pname`.
