-  <title>Introduction</title>
-  <para>
-    "Cross-compilation" means compiling a program on one machine for another type of machine.
-    For example, a typical use of cross compilation is to compile programs for embedded devices.
-    These devices often don't have the computing power and memory to compile their own programs.
-    One might think that cross-compilation is a fairly niche concern, but there are advantages to being rigorous about distinguishing build-time vs run-time environments even when one is developing and deploying on the same machine.
-    Nixpkgs is increasingly adopting this opinion in that packages should be written with cross-compilation in mind, and nixpkgs should evaluate in a similar way (by minimizing cross-compilation-specific special cases) whether or not one is cross-compiling.

-    <para>
-      The three GNU Autoconf platforms, <wordasword>build</wordasword>, <wordasword>host</wordasword>, and <wordasword>target</wordasword>, are historically the result of much confusion.
-      <link xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Configure-Terms.html" /> clears this up somewhat but there is more to be said.
-      An important advice to get out the way is, unless you are packaging a compiler or other build tool, just worry about the build and host platforms.
-      Dealing with just two platforms usually better matches people's preconceptions, and in this case is completely correct.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      In Nixpkgs, these three platforms are defined as attribute sets under the names <literal>buildPlatform</literal>, <literal>hostPlatform</literal>, and <literal>targetPlatform</literal>.
-      All three are always defined as attributes in the standard environment, and at the top level. That means one can get at them just like a dependency in a function that is imported with <literal>callPackage</literal>:
-      <programlisting>{ stdenv, buildPlatform, hostPlatform, fooDep, barDep, .. }: ...buildPlatform...</programlisting>, or just off <varname>stdenv</varname>:

-            The "target platform" is black sheep.
-            The other two intrinsically apply to all compiled software—or any build process with a notion of "build-time" followed by "run-time".
-            The target platform only applies to programming tools, and even then only is a good for for some of them.
-            Briefly, GCC, Binutils, GHC, and certain other tools are written in such a way such that a single build can only compile code for a single platform.
-            Thus, when building them, one must think ahead about which platforms they wish to use the tool to produce machine code for, and build binaries for each.
-          </para>
-          <para>
-            There is no fundamental need to think about the target ahead of time like this.
-            LLVM, for example, was designed from the beginning with cross-compilation in mind, and so a normal LLVM binary will support every architecture that LLVM supports.
-            If the tool supports modular or pluggable backends, one might imagine specifying a <emphasis>set</emphasis> of target platforms / backends one wishes to support, rather than a single one.
-          </para>
-          <para>
-            The biggest reason for mess, if there is one, is that many compilers have the bad habit a build process that builds the compiler and standard library/runtime together.
-            Then the specifying target platform is essential, because it determines the host platform of the standard library/runtime.
-            Nixpkgs tries to avoid this where possible too, but still, because the concept of a target platform is so ingrained now in Autoconf and other tools, it is best to support it as is.
-            Tools like LLVM that don't need up-front target platforms can safely ignore it like normal packages, and it will do no harm.

-    <title>Specifying Dependencies</title>
-    <para>
-      As mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, one can think about a build time vs run time distinction whether cross-compiling or not.
-      In the case of cross-compilation, this corresponds with whether a derivation running on the native or foreign platform is produced.
-      An interesting thing to think about is how this corresponds with the three Autoconf platforms.
-      In the run-time case, the depending and depended-on package simply have matching build, host, and target platforms.
-      But in the build-time case, one can imagine "sliding" the platforms one over.
-      The depended-on package's host and target platforms (respectively) become the depending package's build and host platforms.
-      This is the most important guiding principle behind cross-compilation with Nixpkgs, and will be called the <wordasword>sliding window principle</wordasword>.
-      In this manner, given the 3 platforms for one package, we can determine the three platforms for all its transitive dependencies.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Some examples will probably make this clearer.
-      If a package is being built with a <literal>(build, host, target)</literal> platform triple of <literal>(foo, bar, bar)</literal>, then its build-time dependencies would have a triple of <literal>(foo, foo, bar)</literal>, and <emphasis>those packages'</emphasis> build-time dependencies would have triple of <literal>(foo, foo, foo)</literal>.
-      In other words, it should take two "rounds" of following build-time dependency edges before one reaches a fixed point where, by the sliding window principle, the platform triple no longer changes.
-      Indeed, this happens with cross compilation, where only rounds of native dependencies starting with the second necessarily coincide with native packages.
-    </para>
-    <note><para>
-      The depending package's target platform is unconstrained by the sliding window principle, which makes sense in that one can in principle build cross compilers targeting arbitrary platforms.
-    </para></note>
-    <para>
-      How does this work in practice? Nixpkgs is now structured so that build-time dependencies are taken from <varname>buildPackages</varname>, whereas run-time dependencies are taken from the top level attribute set.
-      For example, <varname>buildPackages.gcc</varname> should be used at build time, while <varname>gcc</varname> should be used at run time.
-      Now, for most of Nixpkgs's history, there was no <varname>buildPackages</varname>, and most packages have not been refactored to use it explicitly.
-      Instead, one can use the four attributes used for specifying dependencies as documented in <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-attributes"/>.
-      We "splice" together the run-time and build-time package sets with <varname>callPackage</varname>, and then <varname>mkDerivation</varname> for each of four attributes pulls the right derivation out.
-      This splicing can be skipped when not cross compiling as the package sets are the same, but is a bit slow for cross compiling.
-      Because of this, a best-of-both-worlds solution is in the works with no splicing or explicit access of <varname>buildPackages</varname> needed.
-      For now, feel free to use either method.
-    </para>
-    <note><para>
-      There is also a "backlink" <varname>__targetPackages</varname>, yielding a package set whose <varname>buildPackages</varname> is the current package set.
-      This is a hack, though, to accommodate compilers with lousy build systems.
-      Please do not use this unless you are absolutely sure you are packaging such a compiler and there is no other way.

-    More information needs to moved from the old wiki, especially <link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/wiki/CrossCompiling" />, for this section.
-  </para></note>
-  <para>
-    Nixpkgs can be instantiated with <varname>localSystem</varname> alone, in which case there is no cross compiling and everything is built by and for that system,
-    or also with <varname>crossSystem</varname>, in which case packages run on the latter, but all building happens on the former.
-    Both parameters take the same schema as the 3 (build, host, and target) platforms defined in the previous section.
-    As mentioned above, <literal>lib.systems.examples</literal> has some platforms which are used as arguments for these parameters in practice.
-    You can use them programmatically, or on the command line like <command>nix-build &lt;nixpkgs&gt; --arg crossSystem '(import &lt;nixpkgs/lib&gt;).systems.examples.fooBarBaz'</command>.
-  </para>
-  <para>
-    While one is free to pass both parameters in full, there's a lot of logic to fill in missing fields.
-    As discussed in the previous section, only one of <varname>system</varname>, <varname>config</varname>, and <varname>parsed</varname> is needed to infer the other two.
-    Additionally, <varname>libc</varname> will be inferred from <varname>parse</varname>.
-    Finally, <literal>localSystem.system</literal> is also <emphasis>impurely</emphasis> inferred based on the platform evaluation occurs.
-    This means it is often not necessary to pass <varname>localSystem</varname> at all, as in the command-line example in the previous paragraph.
-  </para>
-  <note>
-    <para>
-      Many sources (manual, wiki, etc) probably mention passing <varname>system</varname>, <varname>platform</varname>, along with the optional <varname>crossSystem</varname> to nixpkgs:
-      <literal>import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; { system = ..; platform = ..; crossSystem = ..; }</literal>.
-      Passing those two instead of <varname>localSystem</varname> is still supported for compatibility, but is discouraged.
-      Indeed, much of the inference we do for these parameters is motivated by compatibility as much as convenience.
-    </para>
-  </note>
-  <para>
-    One would think that <varname>localSystem</varname> and <varname>crossSystem</varname> overlap horribly with the three <varname>*Platforms</varname> (<varname>buildPlatform</varname>, <varname>hostPlatform,</varname> and <varname>targetPlatform</varname>; see <varname>stage.nix</varname> or the manual).
-    Actually, those identifiers are purposefully not used here to draw a subtle but important distinction:
-    While the granularity of having 3 platforms is necessary to properly *build* packages, it is overkill for specifying the user's *intent* when making a build plan or package set.
-    A simple "build vs deploy" dichotomy is adequate: the sliding window principle described in the previous section shows how to interpolate between the these two "end points" to get the 3 platform triple for each bootstrapping stage.
-    That means for any package a given package set, even those not bound on the top level but only reachable via dependencies or <varname>buildPackages</varname>, the three platforms will be defined as one of <varname>localSystem</varname> or <varname>crossSystem</varname>, with the former replacing the latter as one traverses build-time dependencies.
-    A last simple difference then is <varname>crossSystem</varname> should be null when one doesn't want to cross-compile, while the <varname>*Platform</varname>s are always non-null.
-    <varname>localSystem</varname> is always non-null.

-    If one explores nixpkgs, they will see derivations with names like <literal>gccCross</literal>.
-    Such <literal>*Cross</literal> derivations is a holdover from before we properly distinguished between the host and target platforms
-    —the derivation with "Cross" in the name covered the <literal>build = host != target</literal> case, while the other covered the <literal>host = target</literal>, with build platform the same or not based on whether one was using its <literal>.nativeDrv</literal> or <literal>.crossDrv</literal>.

-To install the rust compiler and cargo put
-
-```
-rustStable.rustc
-rustStable.cargo
-```
-
-into the `environment.systemPackages` or bring them into scope with
-`nix-shell -p rustStable.rustc -p rustStable.cargo`.
-
-There are also `rustBeta` and `rustNightly` package sets available.
-These are not updated very regularly. For daily builds use either rustup from
-nixpkgs or use the [Rust nightlies overlay](#using-the-rust-nightlies-overlay).
-
-## Packaging Rust applications
-
-Rust applications are packaged by using the `buildRustPackage` helper from `rustPlatform`:
-
-```
-with rustPlatform;
-
-buildRustPackage rec {
-  name = "ripgrep-${version}";
-  version = "0.4.0";

-    maintainers = [ maintainers.tailhook ];
-    platforms = platforms.all;

-```
-
-`buildRustPackage` requires a `depsSha256` attribute which is computed over
-all crate sources of this package. Currently it is obtained by inserting a
-fake checksum into the expression and building the package once. The correct
-checksum can be then take from the failed build.
-
-To install crates with nix there is also an experimental project called
-[nixcrates](https://github.com/fractalide/nixcrates).
-
-## Using the Rust nightlies overlay
-
-Mozilla provides an overlay for nixpkgs to bring a nightly version of Rust into scope.
-This overlay can _also_ be used to install recent unstable or stable versions
-of Rust, if desired.
-
-To use this overlay, clone
-[nixpkgs-mozilla](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla),
-and create a symbolic link to the file
-[rust-overlay.nix](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/master/rust-overlay.nix)
-in the `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays` directory.
-
-    $ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla.git
-    $ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
-    $ ln -s $(pwd)/nixpkgs-mozilla/rust-overlay.nix ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/rust-overlay.nix
-
-The latest version can be installed with the following command:
-
-    $ nix-env -Ai nixos.rustChannels.stable.rust
-
-Or using the attribute with nix-shell:
-
-    $ nix-shell -p nixos.rustChannels.stable.rust
-
-To install the beta or nightly channel, "stable" should be substituted by
-"nightly" or "beta", or
-use the function provided by this overlay to pull a version based on a
-build date.
-
-The overlay automatically updates itself as it uses the same source as
-[rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/).

-# User's Guide to Vim Plugins/Addons/Bundles/Scripts in Nixpkgs
-
-You'll get a vim(-your-suffix) in PATH also loading the plugins you want.
-Loading can be deferred; see examples.
-
-Vim packages, VAM (=vim-addon-manager) and Pathogen are supported to load
-packages.
-
-## Custom configuration
-
-Adding custom .vimrc lines can be done using the following code:
-
-```
-vim_configurable.customize {
-  name = "vim-with-plugins";
-
-  vimrcConfig.customRC = ''
-    set hidden
-  '';
-}
-```
-
-## Vim packages
-
-To store you plugins in Vim packages the following example can be used:
-
-```
-vim_configurable.customize {
-  vimrcConfig.packages.myVimPackage = with pkgs.vimPlugins; {
-    # loaded on launch
-    start = [ youcompleteme fugitive ];
-    # manually loadable by calling `:packadd $plugin-name`
-    opt = [ phpCompletion elm-vim ];
-    # To automatically load a plugin when opening a filetype, add vimrc lines like:
-    # autocmd FileType php :packadd phpCompletion
-  }
-};
-```
-
-## VAM
-
-### dependencies by Vim plugins
-
-VAM introduced .json files supporting dependencies without versioning
-assuming that "using latest version" is ok most of the time.
-
-### Example
-
-First create a vim-scripts file having one plugin name per line. Example:
-
-    "tlib"
-    {'name': 'vim-addon-sql'}
-    {'filetype_regex': '\%(vim)$', 'names': ['reload', 'vim-dev-plugin']}
-
-Such vim-scripts file can be read by VAM as well like this:
-
-    call vam#Scripts(expand('~/.vim-scripts'), {})
-
-Create a default.nix file:
-
-    { nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc7102" }:
-    nixpkgs.vim_configurable.customize { name = "vim"; vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [ "vim-addon-vim2nix" ]; }
-
-Create a generate.vim file:
-
-    ActivateAddons vim-addon-vim2nix
-    let vim_scripts = "vim-scripts"
-    call nix#ExportPluginsForNix({
-    \  'path_to_nixpkgs': eval('{"'.substitute(substitute(substitute($NIX_PATH, ':', ',', 'g'), '=',':', 'g'), '\([:,]\)', '"\1"',"g").'"}')["nixpkgs"],
-    \  'cache_file': '/tmp/vim2nix-cache',
-    \  'try_catch': 0,
-    \  'plugin_dictionaries': ["vim-addon-manager"]+map(readfile(vim_scripts), 'eval(v:val)')
-    \ })
-
-Then run
-
-    nix-shell -p vimUtils.vim_with_vim2nix --command "vim -c 'source generate.vim'"
-
-You should get a Vim buffer with the nix derivations (output1) and vam.pluginDictionaries (output2).
-You can add your vim to your system's configuration file like this and start it by "vim-my":
-
-    my-vim =
-     let plugins = let inherit (vimUtils) buildVimPluginFrom2Nix; in {
-          copy paste output1 here
-     }; in vim_configurable.customize {
-       name = "vim-my";
-
-       vimrcConfig.vam.knownPlugins = plugins; # optional
-       vimrcConfig.vam.pluginDictionaries = [
-          copy paste output2 here
-       ];
-
-       # Pathogen would be
-       # vimrcConfig.pathogen.knownPlugins = plugins; # plugins
-       # vimrcConfig.pathogen.pluginNames = ["tlib"];
-     };
-
-
-Sample output1:
-
-    "reload" = buildVimPluginFrom2Nix { # created by nix#NixDerivation
-      name = "reload";
-      src = fetchgit {
-        url = "git://github.com/xolox/vim-reload";
-        rev = "0a601a668727f5b675cb1ddc19f6861f3f7ab9e1";
-        sha256 = "0vb832l9yxj919f5hfg6qj6bn9ni57gnjd3bj7zpq7d4iv2s4wdh";
-      };
-      dependencies = ["nim-misc"];
-
-    };
-    [...]
-
-Sample output2:
-
-    [
-      ''vim-addon-manager''
-      ''tlib''
-      { "name" = ''vim-addon-sql''; }
-      { "filetype_regex" = ''\%(vim)$$''; "names" = [ ''reload'' ''vim-dev-plugin'' ]; }
-    ]
-
-
-## Important repositories
-
-- [vim-pi](https://bitbucket.org/vimcommunity/vim-pi) is a plugin repository
-  from VAM plugin manager meant to be used by others as well used by
-
-- [vim2nix](http://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-vim2nix) which generates the

-<title>Defining overlays</title>
-
-<para>Overlays are Nix functions which accept two arguments, 
-conventionally called <varname>self</varname> and <varname>super</varname>, 
-and return a set of packages. For example, the following is a valid overlay.</para>
-
-<programlisting>
-self: super:
-
-{
-  boost = super.boost.override {
-    python = self.python3;
-  };
-  rr = super.callPackage ./pkgs/rr {
-    stdenv = self.stdenv_32bit;
-  };
-}
-</programlisting>
-
-<para>The first argument (<varname>self</varname>) corresponds to the final package
-set. You should use this set for the dependencies of all packages specified in your
-overlay. For example, all the dependencies of <varname>rr</varname> in the example above come
-from <varname>self</varname>, as well as the overridden dependencies used in the
-<varname>boost</varname> override.</para>
-
-<para>The second argument (<varname>super</varname>)
-corresponds to the result of the evaluation of the previous stages of
-Nixpkgs. It does not contain any of the packages added by the current
-overlay, nor any of the following overlays. This set should be used either
-to refer to packages you wish to override, or to access functions defined
-in Nixpkgs. For example, the original recipe of <varname>boost</varname>
-in the above example, comes from <varname>super</varname>, as well as the
-<varname>callPackage</varname> function.</para>
-
-<para>The value returned by this function should be a set similar to
-<filename>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</filename>, containing
-overridden and/or new packages.</para>
-
-<para>Overlays are similar to other methods for customizing Nixpkgs, in particular
-the <literal>packageOverrides</literal> attribute described in <xref linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides"/>.
-Indeed, <literal>packageOverrides</literal> acts as an overlay with only the 
-<varname>super</varname> argument. It is therefore appropriate for basic use, 
-but overlays are more powerful and easier to distribute.</para>

-
-<warning>
-  <para>The following section is a draft and reviewing policy is still being 
-    discussed.</para>

-
-<para>The nixpkgs projects receives a fairly high number of contributions via 
-  GitHub pull-requests. Reviewing and approving these is an important task and a 
-  way to contribute to the project.</para>
-
-<para>The high change rate of nixpkgs make any pull request that is open for 
-  long enough subject to conflicts that will require extra work from the 
-  submitter or the merger. Reviewing pull requests in a timely manner and being 
-  responsive to the comments is the key to avoid these. GitHub provides sort 
-  filters that can be used to see the <link 
-    xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc">most 
-    recently</link> and the <link

-    recently</link> updated pull-requests.</para>
-
-<para>When reviewing a pull request, please always be nice and polite. 
-  Controversial changes can lead to controversial opinions, but it is important 
-  to respect every community members and their work.</para>
-
-<para>GitHub provides reactions, they are a simple and quick way to provide 
-  feedback to pull-requests or any comments. The thumb-down reaction should be 
-  used with care and if possible accompanied with some explanations so the 
-  submitter has directions to improve his contribution.</para>
-
-<para>Pull-requests reviews should include a list of what has been reviewed in a 
-  comment, so other reviewers and mergers can know the state of the 
-  review.</para>

-    <term>CC Wrapper</term>
-    <listitem>
-      <para>
-        CC Wrapper wraps a C toolchain for a bunch of miscellaneous purposes.
-        Specifically, a C compiler (GCC or Clang), Binutils (or the CCTools + binutils mashup when targetting Darwin), and a C standard library (glibc or Darwin's libSystem) are all fed in, and dependency finding, hardening (see below), and purity checks for each are handled by CC Wrapper.
-        Packages typically depend on only CC Wrapper, instead of those 3 inputs directly.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        Dependency finding is undoubtedly the main task of CC wrapper.
-        It is currently accomplished by collecting directories of host-platform dependencies (i.e. <varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>) in environment variables.
-        CC wrapper's setup hook causes any <filename>include</filename> subdirectory of such a dependency to be added to <envar>NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE</envar>, and any <filename>lib</filename> and <filename>lib64</filename> subdirectories to <envar>NIX_LDFLAGS</envar>.
-        The setup hook itself contains some lengthy comments describing the exact convoluted mechanism by which this is accomplished.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        A final task of the setup hook is defining a number of standard environment variables to tell build systems which executables full-fill which purpose.
-        They are defined to just be the base name of the tools, under the assumption that CC Wrapper's binaries will be on the path.
-        Firstly, this helps poorly-written packages, e.g. ones that look for just <command>gcc</command> when <envar>CC</envar> isn't defined yet <command>clang</command> is to be used.
-        Secondly, this helps packages not get confused when cross-compiling, in which case multiple CC wrappers may be simultaneous in use (targeting different platforms).
-        <envar>BUILD_</envar>- and <envar>TARGET_</envar>-prefixed versions of the normal environment variable are defined for the additional CC Wrappers, properly disambiguating them.
-      </para>
-      <para>
-        A problem with this final task is that CC Wrapper is honest and defines <envar>LD</envar> as <command>ld</command>.
-        Most packages, however, firstly use the C compiler for linking, secondly use <envar>LD</envar> anyways, defining it as the C compiler, and thirdly, only so define <envar>LD</envar> when it is undefined as a fallback.
-        This triple-threat means CC Wrapper will break those packages, as LD is already defined as the actually linker which the package won't override yet doesn't want to use.
-        The workaround is to define, just for the problematic package, <envar>LD</envar> as the C compiler.
-        A good way to do this would be <command>preConfigure = "LD=$CC"</command>.

-      platforms your changes have been tested on. It's not always practical to

-      be merged. Only check the systems you tested the build on in this

-    <para>
-      Packages with automated tests are much more likely to be merged in a
-      timely fashion because it doesn't require as much manual testing by the
-      maintainer to verify the functionality of the package. If there are
-      existing tests for the package, they should be run to verify your changes
-      do not break the tests. Tests only apply to packages with NixOS modules
-      defined and can only be run on Linux. For more details on writing and
-      running tests, see the <link
