-
-In addition to writing properly formatted commit messages, it's important to include relevant information so other developers can later understand *why* a change was made. While this information usually can be found by digging code, mailing list archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.

-  <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.

-      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.

-  <title>Cross-building packages</title>
-  <note><para>
-    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

-# User's Guide to the Rust Infrastructure
-
-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-${version}";
-  version = "0.4.0";
-
-  src = fetchFromGitHub {
-    owner = "BurntSushi";
-    repo = "ripgrep";
-    rev = "${version}";
-    sha256 = "0y5d1n6hkw85jb3rblcxqas2fp82h3nghssa4xqrhqnz25l799pj";
-  };

-    description = "A utility that combines the usability of The Silver Searcher with the raw speed of grep";
-    homepage = https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep;
-    license = with licenses; [ unlicense ];
-    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
-  .nix code

+Packages using this automatical update mechanism have src-info-for-default.nix and src-for-default.nix next to default.nix. src-info-for-default.nix describes getting the freshest source from upstream web site; src-for-default.nix is a generated file with the current data about used source. Both files define a simple attrSet. 
+
+src-info-for-default.nix (for a file grabbed via http) contains at least downloadPage attribute - it is the page we need to look at to find out the latest version. It also contains baseName that is used for automatical generation of package name containing version. It can contain extra data for trickier cases.
+
+src-for-default.nix will contain advertisedUrl (raw URL chosen on the site; its change prompts regeneration of source data), url for fetchurl, hash, version retrieved from the download URL and suggested package name.
+
+2. Updating a package
+
+nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/upstream-updater directory contains some scripts. The worker script is called update-upstream-data.sh. This script requires main expression name (e.g. default.nix). It can optionally accpet a second parameter, URL which will be used instead of getting one by parsing the downloadPage (version extraction, mirror URL creation etc. will still be run). After running the script, check src-for-default.nix (or replace default.nix with expression name, if there are seceral expressions in the directory) for new version information.

-<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>

-    <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>.

-    <title>Built on platform(s)</title>
-    <para>
-      Many Nix packages are designed to run on multiple
-      platforms. As such, it's important to let the maintainer know which
-      platforms your changes have been tested on. It's not always practical to
-      test a change on all platforms, and is not required for a pull request to
-      be merged. Only check the systems you tested the build on in this
-      section.

-  <section>
-    <title>Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)</title>
-    <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

-    <para>
-      If you are updating a package's version, you can use nox to make sure all
-      packages that depend on the updated package still compile correctly. This
-      can be done using the nox utility. The <command>nox-review</command>
-      utility can look for and build all dependencies either based on
-      uncommited changes with the <literal>wip</literal> option or specifying a
-      github pull request number.

-    <para>
-      It's important to test any executables generated by a build when you
-      change or create a package in nixpkgs. This can be done by looking in
-      <filename>./result/bin</filename> and running any files in there, or at a
-      minimum, the main executable for the package. For example, if you make a change
-      to <package>texlive</package>, you probably would only check the binaries
-      associated with the change you made rather than testing all of them.
