9c31c72caf Revert "nixos/fonts: Add unifont to list of default fonts."
This reverts commit 53746ff9d2 because
it increases default system closure size significantly. It's also
unnecessary - people can always add fonts themselves.

53746ff9d2 nixos/fonts: Add unifont to list of default fonts.
This fixes #10077 because after some debugging it turns out that by
default we don't have a font which is able to display Chinese symbols.

Thanks to @anderspapitto, @kmicu and hyper_ch on IRC to help debugging
this issue, see log at:

http://nixos.org/irc/logs/log.20150926 starting at 19:46

With unifont we have a reasonable fallback font to ensure that every
written language is rendered correctly and thus less surprise for new
users who keep their font settings at the default.

1b1658f99b firefox: Drop crash_OTMC+GTK3.patch.
The patch only applies for Firefox versions between 37.0 and 40.1.

Because we're on version 41.0 the changes are already included upstream
and thus the patch doesn't apply and is even unnecessary.

As for version 38.3 for ESR, the patch doesn't apply as well if compiled
with enableGTK3. Of course, this is a bit unfortunate but I don't have
the time right now to properly rebase the patch on 38.3.

7adab119b3 wget: Reduce closure size
This reduces the wget closure from 377 MiB to 49 MiB, which is in
particular good for EC2 images, since they include wget. The main
changes:

* Disable libpsl - this isn't very big itself, but it pulls in libicu,
  which is 36 MiB. It also adds build-time dependencies on packages
  like gtk-doc, dblatex, tetex etc.

* Replace gnutls with openssl. The former pulls in runtime
  dependencies like guile, python, binutils, gcc, ncurses, etc.

310c30089e nixos/tests/virtualbox: Don't parallelize VM boot.
I'm not quite sure why the official Hydra gets a kernel panic in one of
two VMs using the exact same kernels:

https://hydra.nixos.org/build/26339384

Because the kernel panic happens before stage 1, let's wait for the
first VM to boot up and after the bootup is done, start the second one
in hope that it won't trigger the panic.

Oddly enough, whenever I run the test on my own Hydra and on my local
machines, I don't get anything like that.

df5fe9b64b nixos/tests/virtualbox: Give VMs more memory.
We previously had 1024 MB of memory to fit a VirtualBox VM with 512 MB
plus the memory needed of the VirtualBox host VM. That obviously won't
work for two VirtualBox VMs, which are used for testing networking
between two VirtualBox guests.

Now, we have 2048 MB on the qemu guest (the VirtualBox host) and 768 MB
for each VirtualBox guest. That should be enough to fit in two
VirtualBox guests (I hope).

b714bd7a1b nixos/filesystems: Improve vboxsf default options.
The default options for all file systems currently are
"defaults.relatime", which works well on file systems which support the
relatime option.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for the VirtualBox shared folder
filesystem, so until now, you need to set something like:

fileSystems."/foo" = {
  device = "foo";
  fsType = "vboxsf";
  options = "defaults";
};

Otherwise mounting the file system would fail.

Now, we provide only the "defaults" option to the "vboxsf" file system,
so something like this is enough:

fileSystems."/foo" = {
  device = "foo";
  fsType = "vboxsf";
};

An alternative to that could be to document that you need to set default
options, but we really should do what users expect instead of forcing
them to look up the documentation as to why this has failed.

4da90c0dbe tests/virtualbox: Add a subtest for host USB.
Unfortunately, we can't test whether USB is really working, but we can
make sure that VirtualBox has access to the USB devices.

This is essentially testing #9736, which I haven't yet been able to
reproduce though, but it makes sense to test it so it won't happen in
future releases.

1c681d21bf all-packages: don't recurse into aliased sets
So far nix-env -qP would prefer e.g. `xlibs.*` to `xorg.*`,
so we just disallow recursing into aliased sets
while keeping them available for explicit usage.

Consequently, `xlibs` references should get killed on the next
regeneration.

450db3136e gdb: Look for debug info in /run/current-system/sw/lib/debug
The previous default was $out/lib/debug, which wasn't very useful.

This ensures that you can do

  environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.hello.debug ];

26c5e9423e Enable separate debug info
You can now pass

to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.

It's another attempt to fix chromium builds.

See http://hydra.nixos.org/build/26086977/nixlog/4/raw

Unpacking sources is actually taking more than 2h so build fails.
Instead, rather build it remotely and then copy over the output as
we don't have limits for download time.

ccb77084aa systemd: Backport fix for detecting VirtualBox.
This is a backport of systemd/systemd@e32886e.

As noted by @ts468 in #9876, systemd-detect-virt will report KVM if
we're running inside VirtualBox 5.x. Instead of just disabling the
check, this essentially fixes systemd to be able to detect VirtualBox
again.

Tested this against nixos/tests/simple.nix (just to make sure systemd is
still working) and nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix (all tests succeed).

Thanks a lot to @ts468 for catching this and also to @domenkozar for
testing various things concerning that bug.

Fixes #9876.

Addresses #9876 in the way that we want to make sure that VirtualBox 5.x

subtest fails as expected with:

error: systemd-detect-virt returned "kvm" instead of "oracle" at (eval
       14) line 414, <__ANONIO__> line 92.

6bdb6383e2 tests/virtualbox: Fix long line in guestAdditions.
This is essentially not only "wrapping" the line but refactoring into a
shorter name which is used in two places.

And yes, I know I'm very pedantic if it comes to whitespaces and line
lengths, but I made sure this doesn't change any functionality:

403dccbeee opencv3: add enableIpp flag
Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) speeds up parts of OpenCV
on Intel processors (and compatible). It increases the store path from
220 MiB to 300 MiB, so it defaults to off.

Original patch from Bas van Dijk <v.dijk.bas@gmail.com>.

I tried applying the same change to opencv(2.x). OpenCV 2.x didn't
automatically detect IPP, so I reverted the change.

84bce4f3e1 tests/virtualbox: Start systemwide DBus in guests.
We want to check whether DBus functionality is working, so let's make
sure it is running in our mini-initrd.

DBus unfortunately requires to have users properly set up and another
configuration file other than in ${dbus.daemon}/etc/dbus-1/system.conf,
so we do provide that as well.

6d2d7ddbfb virtualbox: Fix load of dbus library at runtime.
VirtualBox had support for DBUS even in version 4.x, but it appears that
nothing in our VM test triggered it to load, thus I didn't notice the
runtime error:

rtldrNativeLoad: dlopen('libdbus-1.so.3', RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL) failed:
                 libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such
                 file or directory

these:

cf77c0c605 mass rewrite of find parameters to cross-platform style
Fixes #9044, close #9667. Thanks to @taku0 for suggesting this solution.
Now we have no modes starting with `/` or `+`.

Rewrite the `-perm` parameters of find:
 - completely safe: rewrite `/0100` and `+100` to `-0100`,
 - slightly semantics-changing: rewrite `+111` to `-0100`.
I cross-verified the `find` manual pages for Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD.

56e7192f2a cudatoolkit: don't move $out/include to $out/usr_include
This effectively reverts 86c283824f
("If cuda headers are presented to nix [...]") and all the following
workarounds that was added due to that commit.

As far as I can tell[1] this hack isn't needed anymore. And moving
includes to $out/usr_include causes pain for cudatoolkit users, so
better get rid of it.

In patches that did more than the $out/usr_include workaround, I only
changed the line back to $out/include instead of re-generating the
patches and fully removing the changed line.

[1]: I build tested blender and caffe, and temporarily added
recurseIntoAttrs to rPackages and haskellPackages so that nox-review
could get proper coverage. However, many of the packages do not build
even before this patch. I also built CUDA samples with cudatoolkit7
that ran fine.

32f5fb74e3 linuxPackages_*.perf: Fix build after kernel 4.1
In 4.1, the build system changed, and it now wants to execute ld like this:

ld -r -o util/scripting-engines/libperf-in.o util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.o util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o

The actual problem seems to be that `buildInputs = [elfutils ...]`
causes 'ld' to point to elfutils in PATH instead of the usual binutils.

So remove elfutils from buildInputs and set NIX_CFLAGS_* manually. This
is a slight hack, but there is some precedent:
0761f81da7/pkgs/tools/package-management/rpm/default.nix (L13)

Fixes #9095.

a30ecea8f1 texlive-moderntimeline: 0.8 (broken) -> 0.9 (close #9612)
The v0.8 build was broken because the CTAN package updated to v0.9 and
CTAN doesn't keep old versions of packages.

Besides bumping the version, this commit changes the src url from the
unversioned CTAN link (which would break the derivation every time a new
version of the package released, as it did yesterday) to the versioned
Github release link.

b3dd65100a cassandra: use mirrors
Upstream likes to move "old" releases to an archive mirror as soon as a
new one is released. This is now handled for free by mirrors.nix.

(No idea why cs.utah.edu was used to begin with; it's now added to
mirrors.nix. Note that it doesn't support SSL, but that applies to
several others so I don't see the harm.)

4ea3e12b1a desktopManagerHandlesLidAndPower default false`
Changes the option and explicitely sets it for each desktopManager.

Reasoning: Currently,
services.xserver.displayManager.desktopManagerHandlesLidAndPower is set
to true by default. This creates a problem for users without desktop
environments activated, since lid management simply doesn't work
(and they have to be lucky to find this option).

5d8d6fdb63 qt5: embed path to mesa (libGL) in Qt mkspecs file
Fixes this problem, when building apps in QtCreator:

  ...(compile output window)
  g++ -Wl,-rpath,/nix/store/1w7h7p6s2srfw2ady90k7072991lrnpp-qtbase-5.4.2/lib \
      -o qt-test3 main.o mainwindow.o moc_mainwindow.o \
      -L/nix/store/1w7h7p6s2srfw2ady90k7072991lrnpp-qtbase-5.4.2/lib \
      -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Gui -lQt5Core -lGL -lpthread
  /nix/store/b8qhjrwf8sf9ggkjxqqav7f1m6w83bh0-binutils-2.23.1/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

mesa is already in the closure of Qt, so there is no size increase.
The patch is copied into both qt-5.3 and qt-5.4 directories, like other
patches are.

Note that programs still can _run_ against a different libGL (e.g. one
provided by nvidia) by configuring the dynamic linker. For instance,
NixOS sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to
/run/opengl-driver/lib/, meaning that whatever libGL is found there
will be used instead of the default (mesa).

079632eaf2 libreoffice: improvements.
Icons no longer missing (fix #5509).

In `*.desktop` files:

 -  Replaced absolute path to the the store by the program name.

    This is so that files can be dragged elsewhere by the user
    (e.g.: desktop, bar) and still work after upgrade + garbage
    collection and can be shared between machines.

 -  Replace program name `soffice` by program name `libreoffice`
    so that we're sure the desktop file really refers to our
    package's binary and not start office or open office.

Add the possibility of building without the help. This build is
not modular and take a really long time to complete so I want
a mean of improving shortcuts without having to rebuild the
whole thing (see #899). A wrapper script is the next step.

Tested (build and ran the program) with `en_US` only and
without the help module.

25a2acaab6 makeWrapper: accept --argv0 flag (/cc #9562)
By default `makeWrapper` will not set argv[0] (this is a reversion to
the old default behavior). Based on the breakage we have seen from
changing the default, this is what most people want. The `wrapProgram`
function will send `--argv0 '"$0"'` to `makeWrapper`, i.e. it will
continue to pass-through the argv[0] that the wrapper is called with.

8011ceec44 haskell-generic-builder: stop pre-pending "haskell-" to package names
A derivation of the Hackage package "foo" is called "haskell-foo" if it is a
library, but only "foo" if it is an executable (without a library). This
distinction used to be fine when Haskell packages where visible to operations
like "nix-env -qa" or "nix-env -i", but after our switch to Haskell NG it has
no more purpose. Consequently, this patch removes the name prefix from all
Haskell packages -- every Haskell package is now called exactly like it's
called on Hackage.

Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/9538.

6300b4717b xrdb: Use mcpp as the preprocessor
Close #9501, fixes #9480.

By default, xrdb uses GCC as the preprocessor at runtime for X resource files.
However, gcc is a large dependency, so replace it with mcpp, a much smaller
preprocessor (currently under a megabyte on i686).

Arch Linux already does this as well, so this should be relatively safe:

errors. Updating is also out of the question, as nixpkgs already contains the
latest version.

9bb81411a9 nibabel: remove failing test
One of the tests explicitly calls python, which will fail with python3.
The issue has been reported upstream,
https://github.com/nipy/nibabel/issues/341
For now, remove the test.

Fix also the license type.

27858fde0f haskell-modules: synchronize overrides with "master" at d34f7ded49
This should reduce the number of Haskell related build errors to zero on
Linux/x86_64 and (hopefully) on Linux/i686, too. Further efforts are necessary
to achieve the same on Darwin.

This patches is related to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9471.

# How to contribute
Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions
under the terms of [COPYING](../COPYING), which is an MIT-like license.
## Opening issues
* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
* Make sure there is no open issue on the topic
* [Submit a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/new/choose) by choosing the kind of topic and fill out the template
## Submitting changes
* Format the commit messages in the following way:
```
(pkg-name | nixos/<module>): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)
(Motivation for change. Additional information.)
```
For consistency, there should not be a period at the end of the commit message's summary line (the first line of the commit message).
Examples:
* nginx: init at 2.0.1
* firefox: 54.0.1 -> 55.0
* nixos/hydra: add bazBaz option
Dual baz behavior is needed to do foo.
* nixos/nginx: refactor config generation
The old config generation system used impure shell scripts and could break in specific circumstances (see #1234).
* `meta.description` should:
* Be capitalized.
* Not start with the package name.
* Not have a period at the end.
* `meta.license` must be set and fit the upstream license.
* If there is no upstream license, `meta.license` should default to `stdenv.lib.licenses.unfree`.
* `meta.maintainers` must be set.
See the nixpkgs manual for more details on [standard meta-attributes](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-standard-meta-attributes) and on how to [submit changes to nixpkgs](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-submitting-changes).
## Writing good commit messages
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/Discourse archives, pull request discussions or upstream changes, it may require a lot of work.
For package version upgrades and such a one-line commit message is usually sufficient.
## Backporting changes
Follow these steps to backport a change into a release branch in compliance with the [commit policy](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#submitting-changes-stable-release-branches).
1. Take note of the commits in which the change was introduced into `master` branch.
2. Check out the target _release branch_, e.g. `release-20.09`. Do not use a _channel branch_ like `nixos-20.09` or `nixpkgs-20.09`.
3. Create a branch for your change, e.g. `git checkout -b backport`.
4. When the reason to backport is not obvious from the original commit message, use `git cherry-pick -xe <original commit>` and add a reason. Otherwise use `git cherry-pick -x <original commit>`. That's fine for minor version updates that only include security and bug fixes, commits that fixes an otherwise broken package or similar. Please also ensure the commits exists on the master branch; in the case of squashed or rebased merges, the commit hash will change and the new commits can be found in the merge message at the bottom of the master pull request.
5. Push to GitHub and open a backport pull request. Make sure to select the release branch (e.g. `release-20.09`) as the target branch of the pull request, and link to the pull request in which the original change was comitted to `master`. The pull request title should be the commit title with the release version as prefix, e.g. `[20.09]`.

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for your contributions.
Nixpkgs is a busy repository, and unfortunately sometimes PRs get left behind for too long. Nevertheless, we'd like to help committers reach the PRs that are still important. This PR has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.
If this is still important to you and you'd like to remove the stale label, we ask that you leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". But there's a bit more you can do:
If you received an approval by an unprivileged maintainer and you are just waiting for a merge, you can @ mention someone with merge permissions and ask them to help. You might be able to find someone relevant by using [Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) on the relevant files, or via [GitHub's web interface](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/tracking-changes-in-a-file). You can see if someone's a member of the [nixpkgs-committers](https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-committers) team, by hovering with the mouse over their username on the web interface, or by searching them directly on [the list](https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/nixpkgs-committers).
If your PR wasn't reviewed at all, it might help to find someone who's perhaps a user of the package or module you are changing, or alternatively, ask once more for a review by the maintainer of the package/module this is about. If you don't know any, you can use [Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) on the relevant files, or [GitHub's web interface](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/tracking-changes-in-a-file) to find someone who touched the relevant files in the past.
If your PR has had reviews and nevertheless got stale, make sure you've responded to all of the reviewer's requests / questions. Usually when PR authors show responsibility and dedication, reviewers (privileged or not) show dedication as well. If you've pushed a change, it's possible the reviewer wasn't notified about your push via email, so you can always [officially request them for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review), or just @ mention them and say you've addressed their comments.
Lastly, you can always ask for help at [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/), or more specifically, [at this thread](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604) or at [#nixos' IRC channel](https://webchat.freenode.net/#nixos).

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue.
To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.
The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it.
If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use [Git blame](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) or [GitHub's web interface](https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-files-in-a-repository/tracking-changes-in-a-file) on the relevant files to find them.

[Nixpkgs](https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs) is a collection of over
40,000 software packages that can be installed with the
[Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package manager. It also implements
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/nixos/), a purely-functional Linux distribution.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [hydra](http://hydra.nixos.org/)
build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add
[nixpkgs-channels](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git) as a remote:
# Manuals
```
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
```

* [Nix Package Manager Manual](https://nixos.org/nix/manual) - how to write Nix expressions (programs), and how to use Nix command line tools
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-14.12` for the latest
release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
# Community

# Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands
of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps
consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs
describes how to build over 40,000 pieces of software and implements a
Linux distribution. The [GitHub Insights](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulse)
page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and
Pull Requests. When pull requests are made, our tooling automation bot,
[OfBorg](https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg) will perform various checks
to help ensure expression quality.
The *Nixpkgs maintainers* are people who have assigned themselves to
maintain specific individual packages. We encourage people who care
about a package to assign themselves as a maintainer. When a pull
request is made against a package, OfBorg will notify the appropriate
maintainer(s). The *Nixpkgs committers* are people who have been given
permission to merge.
Most contributions are based on and merged into these branches:
* `master` is the main branch where all small contributions go
* `staging` is branched from master, changes that have a big impact on
Hydra builds go to this branch
* `staging-next` is branched from staging and only fixes to stabilize
and security fixes with a big impact on Hydra builds should be
contributed to this branch. This branch is merged into master when
deemed of sufficiently high quality
For more information about contributing to the project, please visit
the [contributing page](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
# Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a
nonprofit organization, the [NixOS
Foundation](https://nixos.org/nixos/foundation.html). To ensure the
continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking
for donations to our organization.

This version of Nixpkgs requires Nix >= ${requiredVersion}, please upgrade:
- If you are running NixOS, `nixos-rebuild' can be used to upgrade your system.
- Alternatively, with Nix > 2.0 `nix upgrade-nix' can be used to imperatively
upgrade Nix. You may use `nix-env --version' to check which version you have.
- If you installed Nix using the install script (https://nixos.org/nix/install),
it is safe to upgrade by running it again:
curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh

<title>Fetchers</title>
<para>
When using Nix, you will frequently need to download source code and other files from the internet. Nixpkgs comes with a few helper functions that allow you to fetch fixed-output derivations in a structured way.
</para>
<para>
The two fetcher primitives are <function>fetchurl</function> and <function>fetchzip</function>. Both of these have two required arguments, a URL and a hash. The hash is typically <literal>sha256</literal>, although many more hash algorithms are supported. Nixpkgs contributors are currently recommended to use <literal>sha256</literal>. This hash will be used by Nix to identify your source. A typical usage of fetchurl is provided below.
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[
{ stdenv, fetchurl }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "hello";
src = fetchurl {
url = "http://www.example.org/hello.tar.gz";
sha256 = "1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111";
};
}
]]></programlisting>
<para>
The main difference between <function>fetchurl</function> and <function>fetchzip</function> is in how they store the contents. <function>fetchurl</function> will store the unaltered contents of the URL within the Nix store. <function>fetchzip</function> on the other hand will decompress the archive for you, making files and directories directly accessible in the future. <function>fetchzip</function> can only be used with archives. Despite the name, <function>fetchzip</function> is not limited to .zip files and can also be used with any tarball.
</para>
<para>
<function>fetchpatch</function> works very similarly to <function>fetchurl</function> with the same arguments expected. It expects patch files as a source and and performs normalization on them before computing the checksum. For example it will remove comments or other unstable parts that are sometimes added by version control systems and can change over time.
</para>
<para>
Other fetcher functions allow you to add source code directly from a VCS such as subversion or git. These are mostly straightforward names based on the name of the command used with the VCS system. Because they give you a working repository, they act most like <function>fetchzip</function>.

<para>
<varname>pkgs.dockerTools</varname> is a set of functions for creating and manipulating Docker images according to the <link xlink:href="https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/image/spec/v1.2.md#docker-image-specification-v120"> Docker Image Specification v1.2.0 </link>.

<title>buildImage</title>
<para>
This function is analogous to the <command>docker build</command> command, in that it can be used to build a Docker-compatible repository tarball containing a single image with one or multiple layers. As such, the result is suitable for being loaded in Docker with <command>docker load</command>.

# Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
## How to install Cataclysm DDA
To install the latest stable release of Cataclysm DDA to your profile, execute
`nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA cataclysm-dda`. For the curses build (build
without tiles), install `cataclysmDDA.stable.curses`. Note: `cataclysm-dda` is
an alias to `cataclysmDDA.stable.tiles`.
If you like access to a development build of your favorite git revision,
override `cataclysm-dda-git` (or `cataclysmDDA.git.curses` if you like curses
build):
```nix
cataclysm-dda-git.override {
version = "YYYY-MM-DD";
rev = "YOUR_FAVORITE_REVISION";
sha256 = "CHECKSUM_OF_THE_REVISION";
}
```
The sha256 checksum can be obtained by
```sh
nix-prefetch-url --unpack "https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/archive/${YOUR_FAVORITE_REVISION}.tar.gz"
```
The default configuration directory is `~/.cataclysm-dda`. If you prefer
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cataclysm-dda`, override the derivation:
```nix
cataclysm-dda.override {
useXdgDir = true;
}
```
## Customizing with mods
To install Cataclysm DDA with mods of your choice, you can use `withMods`
attribute:
```nix
cataclysm-dda.withMods (mods: with mods; [
tileset.UndeadPeople
])
```
All mods, soundpacks, and tilesets available in nixpkgs are found in
`cataclysmDDA.pkgs`.
Here is an example to modify existing mods and/or add more mods not available
in nixpkgs:
```nix
let
customMods = self: super: lib.recursiveUpdate super {
# Modify existing mod
tileset.UndeadPeople = super.tileset.UndeadPeople.overrideAttrs (old: {
# If you like to apply a patch to the tileset for example
patches = [ ./path/to/your.patch ];
});
# Add another mod
mod.Awesome = cataclysmDDA.buildMod {
modName = "Awesome";
version = "0.x";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "Someone";
repo = "AwesomeMod";
rev = "...";
sha256 = "...";
};
# Path to be installed in the unpacked source (default: ".")
modRoot = "contents/under/this/path/will/be/installed";
};
# Add another soundpack
soundpack.Fantastic = cataclysmDDA.buildSoundPack {
# ditto
};
# Add another tileset
tileset.SuperDuper = cataclysmDDA.buildTileSet {
# ditto
};
};
in
cataclysm-dda.withMods (mods: with mods.extend customMods; [
tileset.UndeadPeople
mod.Awesome
soundpack.Fantastic
tileset.SuperDuper
])
```

The Nix expressions related to the Eclipse platform and IDE are in <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/eclipse"><filename>pkgs/applications/editors/eclipse</filename></link>.
</para>
<para>
Nixpkgs provides a number of packages that will install Eclipse in its various forms. These range from the bare-bones Eclipse Platform to the more fully featured Eclipse SDK or Scala-IDE packages and multiple version are often available. It is possible to list available Eclipse packages by issuing the command:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -qaP -A eclipses --description
</screen>
Once an Eclipse variant is installed it can be run using the <command>eclipse</command> command, as expected. From within Eclipse it is then possible to install plugins in the usual manner by either manually specifying an Eclipse update site or by installing the Marketplace Client plugin and using it to discover and install other plugins. This installation method provides an Eclipse installation that closely resemble a manually installed Eclipse.
</para>
<para>
If you prefer to install plugins in a more declarative manner then Nixpkgs also offer a number of Eclipse plugins that can be installed in an <emphasis>Eclipse environment</emphasis>. This type of environment is created using the function <varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> found inside the <varname>nixpkgs.eclipses</varname> attribute set. This function takes as argument <literal>{ eclipse, plugins ? [], jvmArgs ? [] }</literal> where <varname>eclipse</varname> is a one of the Eclipse packages described above, <varname>plugins</varname> is a list of plugin derivations, and <varname>jvmArgs</varname> is a list of arguments given to the JVM running the Eclipse. For example, say you wish to install the latest Eclipse Platform with the popular Eclipse Color Theme plugin and also allow Eclipse to use more RAM. You could then add
<screen>
packageOverrides = pkgs: {
myEclipse = with pkgs.eclipses; eclipseWithPlugins {
eclipse = eclipse-platform;
jvmArgs = [ "-Xmx2048m" ];
plugins = [ plugins.color-theme ];
};
}
</screen>
to your Nixpkgs configuration (<filename>~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix</filename>) and install it by running <command>nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -iA myEclipse</command> and afterward run Eclipse as usual. It is possible to find out which plugins are available for installation using <varname>eclipseWithPlugins</varname> by running
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -f '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -qaP -A eclipses.plugins --description
</screen>
</para>
<para>
If there is a need to install plugins that are not available in Nixpkgs then it may be possible to define these plugins outside Nixpkgs using the <varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> and <varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> functions found in the <varname>nixpkgs.eclipses.plugins</varname> attribute set. Use the <varname>buildEclipseUpdateSite</varname> function to install a plugin distributed as an Eclipse update site. This function takes <literal>{ name, src }</literal> as argument where <literal>src</literal> indicates the Eclipse update site archive. All Eclipse features and plugins within the downloaded update site will be installed. When an update site archive is not available then the <varname>buildEclipsePlugin</varname> function can be used to install a plugin that consists of a pair of feature and plugin JARs. This function takes an argument <literal>{ name, srcFeature, srcPlugin }</literal> where <literal>srcFeature</literal> and <literal>srcPlugin</literal> are the feature and plugin JARs, respectively.
</para>
<para>
Expanding the previous example with two plugins using the above functions we have

<para>
You can install it like any other packages via <command>nix-env -iA myEmacs</command>. However, this will only install those packages. It will not <literal>configure</literal> them for us. To do this, we need to provide a configuration file. Luckily, it is possible to do this from within Nix! By modifying the above example, we can make Emacs load a custom config file. The key is to create a package that provide a <filename>default.el</filename> file in <filename>/share/emacs/site-start/</filename>. Emacs knows to load this file automatically when it starts.

Sometimes <varname>emacsWithPackages</varname> is not enough, as this package set has some priorities imposed on packages (with the lowest priority assigned to Melpa Unstable, and the highest for packages manually defined in <filename>pkgs/top-level/emacs-packages.nix</filename>). But you can't control this priorities when some package is installed as a dependency. You can override it on per-package-basis, providing all the required dependencies manually - but it's tedious and there is always a possibility that an unwanted dependency will sneak in through some other package. To completely override such a package you can use <varname>overrideScope'</varname>.

The Nix expressions to build the Linux kernel are in <link

</para>
<para>
The function that builds the kernel has an argument <varname>kernelPatches</varname> which should be a list of <literal>{name, patch, extraConfig}</literal> attribute sets, where <varname>name</varname> is the name of the patch (which is included in the kernels <varname>meta.description</varname> attribute), <varname>patch</varname> is the patch itself (possibly compressed), and <varname>extraConfig</varname> (optional) is a string specifying extra options to be concatenated to the kernel configuration file (<filename>.config</filename>).
</para>
<para>
The kernel derivation exports an attribute <varname>features</varname> specifying whether optional functionality is or isnt enabled. This is used in NixOS to implement kernel-specific behaviour. For instance, if the kernel has the <varname>iwlwifi</varname> feature (i.e. has built-in support for Intel wireless chipsets), then NixOS doesnt have to build the external <varname>iwlwifi</varname> package:
<programlisting>

<para>
To allow simultaneous use of packages linked against different versions of <literal>glibc</literal> with different locale archive formats Nixpkgs patches <literal>glibc</literal> to rely on <literal>LOCALE_ARCHIVE</literal> environment variable.
</para>
<para>
On non-NixOS distributions this variable is obviously not set. This can cause regressions in language support or even crashes in some Nixpkgs-provided programs. The simplest way to mitigate this problem is exporting the <literal>LOCALE_ARCHIVE</literal> variable pointing to <literal>${glibcLocales}/lib/locale/locale-archive</literal>. The drawback (and the reason this is not the default) is the relatively large (a hundred MiB) size of the full set of locales. It is possible to build a custom set of locales by overriding parameters <literal>allLocales</literal> and <literal>locales</literal> of the package.

<title>ETags on static files served from the Nix store</title>
<para>
HTTP has a couple different mechanisms for caching to prevent clients from having to download the same content repeatedly if a resource has not changed since the last time it was requested. When nginx is used as a server for static files, it implements the caching mechanism based on the <link xlink:href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Last-Modified"><literal>Last-Modified</literal></link> response header automatically; unfortunately, it works by using filesystem timestamps to determine the value of the <literal>Last-Modified</literal> header. This doesn't give the desired behavior when the file is in the Nix store, because all file timestamps are set to 0 (for reasons related to build reproducibility).
</para>
<para>
Fortunately, HTTP supports an alternative (and more effective) caching mechanism: the <link xlink:href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/ETag"><literal>ETag</literal></link> response header. The value of the <literal>ETag</literal> header specifies some identifier for the particular content that the server is sending (e.g. a hash). When a client makes a second request for the same resource, it sends that value back in an <literal>If-None-Match</literal> header. If the ETag value is unchanged, then the server does not need to resend the content.
</para>
<para>
As of NixOS 19.09, the nginx package in Nixpkgs is patched such that when nginx serves a file out of <filename>/nix/store</filename>, the hash in the store path is used as the <literal>ETag</literal> header in the HTTP response, thus providing proper caching functionality. This happens automatically; you do not need to do modify any configuration to get this behavior.

In order to add plugins but also keep all default plugins installed, it is
possible to use the following method:

};
}
</programlisting>

To get a list of all the plugins available, open the Nix REPL and run
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix repl
:l &lt;nixpkgs&gt;
map (p: p.name) pkgs.rxvt-unicode.plugins
</screen>
Alternatively, if your shell is bash or zsh and have completion enabled,
simply type <literal>nixpkgs.rxvt-unicode.plugins.&lt;tab&gt;</literal>.
</para>
<para>
In addition to <literal>plugins</literal> the options
<literal>extraDeps</literal> and <literal>perlDeps</literal> can be used
to install extra packages.
<literal>extraDeps</literal> can be used, for example, to provide
<literal>xsel</literal> (a clipboard manager) to the clipboard plugin,
without installing it globally:
<programlisting>
rxvt-unicode.override {
configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
pluginsDeps = [ xsel ];
};
}
</programlisting>
<literal>perlDeps</literal> is a handy way to provide Perl packages to
your custom plugins (in <literal>$HOME/.urxvt/ext</literal>). For example,
if you need <literal>AnyEvent</literal> you can do:
<programlisting>
rxvt-unicode.override {
configure = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
perlDeps = with perlPackages; [ AnyEvent ];
};
}

<prompt>$ </prompt>cd pkgs/servers/x11/xorg
<prompt>$ </prompt>cat tarballs-7.5.list extra.list old.list \
| perl ./generate-expr-from-tarballs.pl
</screen>
For each of the tarballs in the <filename>.list</filename> files, the script downloads it, unpacks it, and searches its <filename>configure.ac</filename> and <filename>*.pc.in</filename> files for dependencies. This information is used to generate <filename>default.nix</filename>. The generator caches downloaded tarballs between runs. Pay close attention to the <literal>NOT FOUND: <replaceable>name</replaceable></literal> messages at the end of the run, since they may indicate missing dependencies. (Some might be optional dependencies, however.)
</para>
<para>
A file like <filename>tarballs-7.5.list</filename> contains all tarballs in a X.org release. It can be generated like this:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>export i="mirror://xorg/X11R7.4/src/everything/"
<prompt>$ </prompt>cat $(PRINT_PATH=1 nix-prefetch-url $i | tail -n 1) \
| perl -e 'while (&lt;>) { if (/(href|HREF)="([^"]*.bz2)"/) { print "$ENV{'i'}$2\n"; }; }' \
| sort > tarballs-7.4.list
</screen>
<filename>extra.list</filename> contains libraries that arent part of X.org proper, but are closely related to it, such as <literal>libxcb</literal>. <filename>old.list</filename> contains some packages that were removed from X.org, but are still needed by some people or by other packages (such as <varname>imake</varname>).
</para>
<para>
If the expression for a package requires derivation attributes that the generator cannot figure out automatically (say, <varname>patches</varname> or a <varname>postInstall</varname> hook), you should modify <filename>pkgs/servers/x11/xorg/overrides.nix</filename>.

<title>buildFHSUserEnv</title>
<para>
<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> provides a way to build and run FHS-compatible lightweight sandboxes. It creates an isolated root with bound <filename>/nix/store</filename>, so its footprint in terms of disk space needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or unfeasible to patch for NixOS -- 3rd-party source trees with FHS assumptions, games distributed as tarballs, software with integrity checking and/or external self-updated binaries. It uses Linux namespaces feature to create temporary lightweight environments which are destroyed after all child processes exit, without root user rights requirement. Accepted arguments are:

<title>Trivial builders</title>
<para>
Nixpkgs provides a couple of functions that help with building derivations. The most important one, <function>stdenv.mkDerivation</function>, has already been documented above. The following functions wrap <function>stdenv.mkDerivation</function>, making it easier to use in certain cases.
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry xml:id="trivial-builder-runCommand">
<term>
<literal>runCommand</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This takes three arguments, <literal>name</literal>, <literal>env</literal>, and <literal>buildCommand</literal>. <literal>name</literal> is just the name that Nix will append to the store path in the same way that <literal>stdenv.mkDerivation</literal> uses its <literal>name</literal> attribute. <literal>env</literal> is an attribute set specifying environment variables that will be set for this derivation. These attributes are then passed to the wrapped <literal>stdenv.mkDerivation</literal>. <literal>buildCommand</literal> specifies the commands that will be run to create this derivation. Note that you will need to create <literal>$out</literal> for Nix to register the command as successful.
</para>
<para>
An example of using <literal>runCommand</literal> is provided below.
</para>
<programlisting>
(import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {}).runCommand "my-example" {} ''

mkdir $out

<para>
This works just like <literal>runCommand</literal>. The only difference is that it also provides a C compiler in <literal>buildCommand</literal>s environment. To minimize your dependencies, you should only use this if you are sure you will need a C compiler as part of running your command.

<para>
Variant of <literal>runCommand</literal> that forces the derivation to be built locally, it is not substituted. This is intended for very cheap commands (&lt;1s execution time). It saves on the network roundrip and can speed up a build.
</para>
<note><para>
This sets <link xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#adv-attr-allowSubstitutes"><literal>allowSubstitutes</literal> to <literal>false</literal></link>, so only use <literal>runCommandLocal</literal> if you are certain the user will always have a builder for the <literal>system</literal> of the derivation. This should be true for most trivial use cases (e.g. just copying some files to a different location or adding symlinks), because there the <literal>system</literal> is usually the same as <literal>builtins.currentSystem</literal>.

<literal>writeTextFile</literal>, <literal>writeText</literal>, <literal>writeTextDir</literal>, <literal>writeScript</literal>, <literal>writeScriptBin</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
These functions write <literal>text</literal> to the Nix store. This is useful for creating scripts from Nix expressions. <literal>writeTextFile</literal> takes an attribute set and expects two arguments, <literal>name</literal> and <literal>text</literal>. <literal>name</literal> corresponds to the name used in the Nix store path. <literal>text</literal> will be the contents of the file. You can also set <literal>executable</literal> to true to make this file have the executable bit set.
</para>
<para>
Many more commands wrap <literal>writeTextFile</literal> including <literal>writeText</literal>, <literal>writeTextDir</literal>, <literal>writeScript</literal>, and <literal>writeScriptBin</literal>. These are convenience functions over <literal>writeTextFile</literal>.

<varlistentry xml:id="trivial-builder-symlinkJoin">
<term>
<literal>symlinkJoin</literal>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>
This can be used to put many derivations into the same directory structure. It works by creating a new derivation and adding symlinks to each of the paths listed. It expects two arguments, <literal>name</literal>, and <literal>paths</literal>. <literal>name</literal> is the name used in the Nix store path for the created derivation. <literal>paths</literal> is a list of paths that will be symlinked. These paths can be to Nix store derivations or any other subdirectory contained within.

<section xml:id="sec-package-naming"><title>Package naming</title>
<para>In Nixpkgs, there are generally three different names associated with a package:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The <varname>name</varname> attribute of the
derivation (excluding the version part). This is what most users
see, in particular when using
<command>nix-env</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The variable name used for the instantiated package
in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and when passing it as a
dependency to other functions. This is what Nix expression authors
see. It can also be used when installing using <command>nix-env
-iA</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The filename for (the directory containing) the Nix
expression.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Most of the time, these are the same. For instance, the package
<literal>e2fsprogs</literal> has a <varname>name</varname> attribute
<literal>"e2fsprogs-<replaceable>version</replaceable>"</literal>, is
bound to the variable name <varname>e2fsprogs</varname> in
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and the Nix expression is in
<filename>pkgs/os-specific/linux/e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>.
</para>
<para>There are a few naming guidelines:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Generally, try to stick to the upstream package
name.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Dont use uppercase letters in the
<literal>name</literal> attribute — e.g.,
<literal>"mplayer-1.0rc2"</literal> instead of
<literal>"MPlayer-1.0rc2"</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The version part of the <literal>name</literal>
attribute <emphasis>must</emphasis> start with a digit (following a
dash) — e.g., <literal>"hello-0.3-pre-r3910"</literal> instead of
<literal>"hello-svn-r3910"</literal>, as the latter would be seen as
a package named <literal>hello-svn</literal> by
<command>nix-env</command>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If package is fetched from git's commit then
the version part of the name <emphasis>must</emphasis> be the date of that
(fetched) commit. The date must be in <literal>"YYYY-MM-DD"</literal> format.
Also add <literal>"git"</literal> to the name - e.g.,
<literal>"pkgname-git-2014-09-23"</literal>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Dashes in the package name should be preserved
in new variable names, rather than converted to underscores
(which was convention up to around 2013 and most names
still have underscores instead of dashes) — e.g.,
<varname>http-parser</varname> instead of
<varname>http_parser</varname>.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If there are multiple versions of a package, this
should be reflected in the variable names in
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>,
e.g. <varname>json-c-0-9</varname> and <varname>json-c-0-11</varname>.
If there is an obvious “default” version, make an attribute like
<literal>json-c = json-c-0-9;</literal>.

<section xml:id="sec-organisation"><title>File naming and organisation</title>
<para>Names of files and directories should be in lowercase, with
dashes between words — not in camel case. For instance, it should be
<filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, not
<filename>allPackages.nix</filename> or
<filename>AllPackages.nix</filename>.</para>
<section xml:id="sec-hierarchy"><title>Hierarchy</title>
<para>Each package should be stored in its own directory somewhere in

<filename>pkgs/<replaceable>category</replaceable>/<replaceable>subcategory</replaceable>/<replaceable>...</replaceable>/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>.
Below are some rules for picking the right category for a package.
Many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the
<emphasis>primary</emphasis> purpose of a package. For example, the
<literal>libxml2</literal> package builds both a library and some
tools; but its a library foremost, so it goes under

<section xml:id="sec-versioning"><title>Versioning</title>
<para>Because every version of a package in Nixpkgs creates a
potential maintenance burden, old versions of a package should not be
kept unless there is a good reason to do so. For instance, Nixpkgs
contains several versions of GCC because other packages dont build
with the latest version of GCC. Other examples are having both the
latest stable and latest pre-release version of a package, or to keep
several major releases of an application that differ significantly in
functionality.</para>
<para>If there is only one version of a package, its Nix expression
should be named <filename>e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>. If there
are multiple versions, this should be reflected in the filename,
e.g. <filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.8.nix</filename> and
<filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.9.nix</filename>. The version in the
filename should leave out unnecessary detail. For instance, if we
keep the latest Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x versions in Nixpkgs, they
should be named <filename>firefox/2.0.nix</filename> and
<filename>firefox/3.5.nix</filename>, respectively (which, at a given
point, might contain versions <literal>2.0.0.20</literal> and
<literal>3.5.4</literal>). If a version requires many auxiliary
files, you can use a subdirectory for each version,
e.g. <filename>firefox/2.0/default.nix</filename> and
<filename>firefox/3.5/default.nix</filename>.</para>
<para>All versions of a package <emphasis>must</emphasis> be included
in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename> to make sure that they
evaluate correctly.</para>
</section>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-sources"><title>Fetching Sources</title>
<para>There are multiple ways to fetch a package source in nixpkgs. The
general guidline is that you should package sources with a high degree of
availability. Right now there is only one fetcher which has mirroring
support and that is <literal>fetchurl</literal>. Note that you should also
prefer protocols which have a corresponding proxy environment variable.
</para>
<para>You can find many source fetch helpers in <literal>pkgs/build-support/fetch*</literal>.
</para>
<para>In the file <literal>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</literal> you can
find fetch helpers, these have names on the form
<literal>fetchFrom*</literal>. The intention of these are to provide
snapshot fetches but using the same api as some of the version controlled
fetchers from <literal>pkgs/build-support/</literal>. As an example going
from bad to good:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Uses <literal>git://</literal> which won't be proxied.
<programlisting>
src = fetchgit {
url = "git://github.com/NixOS/nix.git";
rev = "1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae";
sha256 = "1cw5fszffl5pkpa6s6wjnkiv6lm5k618s32sp60kvmvpy7a2v9kg";
}
</programlisting>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>This is ok, but an archive fetch will still be faster.
<programlisting>
src = fetchgit {
url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git";
rev = "1f795f9f44607cc5bec70d1300150bfefcef2aae";

}
</programlisting>
</para>

<listitem>
<para>Fetches a snapshot archive and you get the rev you want.

The key words <emphasis>must</emphasis>, <emphasis>must not</emphasis>, <emphasis>required</emphasis>, <emphasis>shall</emphasis>, <emphasis>shall not</emphasis>, <emphasis>should</emphasis>, <emphasis>should not</emphasis>, <emphasis>recommended</emphasis>, <emphasis>may</emphasis>, and <emphasis>optional</emphasis> in this section are to be interpreted as described in <link xlink:href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119">RFC 2119</link>. Only <emphasis>emphasized</emphasis> words are to be interpreted in this way.
</para>
<para>
In Nixpkgs, there are generally three different names associated with a package:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
The <varname>name</varname> attribute of the derivation (excluding the version part). This is what most users see, in particular when using <command>nix-env</command>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The variable name used for the instantiated package in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and when passing it as a dependency to other functions. Typically this is called the <emphasis>package attribute name</emphasis>. This is what Nix expression authors see. It can also be used when installing using <command>nix-env -iA</command>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The filename for (the directory containing) the Nix expression.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
Most of the time, these are the same. For instance, the package <literal>e2fsprogs</literal> has a <varname>name</varname> attribute <literal>"e2fsprogs-<replaceable>version</replaceable>"</literal>, is bound to the variable name <varname>e2fsprogs</varname> in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, and the Nix expression is in <filename>pkgs/os-specific/linux/e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>.
</para>
<para>
There are a few naming guidelines:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
The <literal>name</literal> attribute <emphasis>should</emphasis> be identical to the upstream package name.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <literal>name</literal> attribute <emphasis>must not</emphasis> contain uppercase letters — e.g., <literal>"mplayer-1.0rc2"</literal> instead of <literal>"MPlayer-1.0rc2"</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The version part of the <literal>name</literal> attribute <emphasis>must</emphasis> start with a digit (following a dash) — e.g., <literal>"hello-0.3.1rc2"</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
If a package is not a release but a commit from a repository, then the version part of the name <emphasis>must</emphasis> be the date of that (fetched) commit. The date <emphasis>must</emphasis> be in <literal>"YYYY-MM-DD"</literal> format. Also append <literal>"unstable"</literal> to the name - e.g., <literal>"pkgname-unstable-2014-09-23"</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Dashes in the package name <emphasis>should</emphasis> be preserved in new variable names, rather than converted to underscores or camel cased — e.g., <varname>http-parser</varname> instead of <varname>http_parser</varname> or <varname>httpParser</varname>. The hyphenated style is preferred in all three package names.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
If there are multiple versions of a package, this <emphasis>should</emphasis> be reflected in the variable names in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, e.g. <varname>json-c-0-9</varname> and <varname>json-c-0-11</varname>. If there is an obvious “default” version, make an attribute like <literal>json-c = json-c-0-9;</literal>. See also <xref linkend="sec-versioning" />
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-organisation">
<title>File naming and organisation</title>
<para>
Names of files and directories should be in lowercase, with dashes between words — not in camel case. For instance, it should be <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>, not <filename>allPackages.nix</filename> or <filename>AllPackages.nix</filename>.
</para>
<section xml:id="sec-hierarchy">
<title>Hierarchy</title>
<para>
Each package should be stored in its own directory somewhere in the <filename>pkgs/</filename> tree, i.e. in <filename>pkgs/<replaceable>category</replaceable>/<replaceable>subcategory</replaceable>/<replaceable>...</replaceable>/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>. Below are some rules for picking the right category for a package. Many packages fall under several categories; what matters is the <emphasis>primary</emphasis> purpose of a package. For example, the <literal>libxml2</literal> package builds both a library and some tools; but its a library foremost, so it goes under <filename>pkgs/development/libraries</filename>.
</para>
<para>
When in doubt, consider refactoring the <filename>pkgs/</filename> tree, e.g. creating new categories or splitting up an existing category.

<title>Versioning</title>
<para>
Because every version of a package in Nixpkgs creates a potential maintenance burden, old versions of a package should not be kept unless there is a good reason to do so. For instance, Nixpkgs contains several versions of GCC because other packages dont build with the latest version of GCC. Other examples are having both the latest stable and latest pre-release version of a package, or to keep several major releases of an application that differ significantly in functionality.
</para>
<para>
If there is only one version of a package, its Nix expression should be named <filename>e2fsprogs/default.nix</filename>. If there are multiple versions, this should be reflected in the filename, e.g. <filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.8.nix</filename> and <filename>e2fsprogs/1.41.9.nix</filename>. The version in the filename should leave out unnecessary detail. For instance, if we keep the latest Firefox 2.0.x and 3.5.x versions in Nixpkgs, they should be named <filename>firefox/2.0.nix</filename> and <filename>firefox/3.5.nix</filename>, respectively (which, at a given point, might contain versions <literal>2.0.0.20</literal> and <literal>3.5.4</literal>). If a version requires many auxiliary files, you can use a subdirectory for each version, e.g. <filename>firefox/2.0/default.nix</filename> and <filename>firefox/3.5/default.nix</filename>.
</para>
<para>
All versions of a package <emphasis>must</emphasis> be included in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename> to make sure that they evaluate correctly.

<title>Fetching Sources</title>
<para>
There are multiple ways to fetch a package source in nixpkgs. The general guideline is that you should package reproducible sources with a high degree of availability. Right now there is only one fetcher which has mirroring support and that is <literal>fetchurl</literal>. Note that you should also prefer protocols which have a corresponding proxy environment variable.
</para>
<para>
You can find many source fetch helpers in <literal>pkgs/build-support/fetch*</literal>.
</para>
<para>
In the file <literal>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</literal> you can find fetch helpers, these have names on the form <literal>fetchFrom*</literal>. The intention of these are to provide snapshot fetches but using the same api as some of the version controlled fetchers from <literal>pkgs/build-support/</literal>. As an example going from bad to good:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Bad: Uses <literal>git://</literal> which won't be proxied.
<programlisting>
src = fetchgit {

<title>Obtaining source hash</title>
<para>
Preferred source hash type is sha256. There are several ways to get it.
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Prefetch URL (with <literal>nix-prefetch-<replaceable>XXX</replaceable> <replaceable>URL</replaceable></literal>, where <replaceable>XXX</replaceable> is one of <literal>url</literal>, <literal>git</literal>, <literal>hg</literal>, <literal>cvs</literal>, <literal>bzr</literal>, <literal>svn</literal>). Hash is printed to stdout.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Prefetch by package source (with <literal>nix-prefetch-url '&lt;nixpkgs&gt;' -A <replaceable>PACKAGE</replaceable>.src</literal>, where <replaceable>PACKAGE</replaceable> is package attribute name). Hash is printed to stdout.
</para>
<para>
This works well when you've upgraded existing package version and want to find out new hash, but is useless if package can't be accessed by attribute or package has multiple sources (<literal>.srcs</literal>, architecture-dependent sources, etc).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Upstream provided hash: use it when upstream provides <literal>sha256</literal> or <literal>sha512</literal> (when upstream provides <literal>md5</literal>, don't use it, compute <literal>sha256</literal> instead).
</para>
<para>
A little nuance is that <literal>nix-prefetch-*</literal> tools produce hash encoded with <literal>base32</literal>, but upstream usually provides hexadecimal (<literal>base16</literal>) encoding. Fetchers understand both formats. Nixpkgs does not standardize on any one format.
</para>
<para>
You can convert between formats with nix-hash, for example:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-hash --type sha256 --to-base32 <replaceable>HASH</replaceable>
</screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Extracting hash from local source tarball can be done with <literal>sha256sum</literal>. Use <literal>nix-prefetch-url file:///path/to/tarball </literal> if you want base32 hash.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Fake hash: set fake hash in package expression, perform build and extract correct hash from error Nix prints.
</para>
<para>
For package updates it is enough to change one symbol to make hash fake. For new packages, you can use <literal>lib.fakeSha256</literal>, <literal>lib.fakeSha512</literal> or any other fake hash.
</para>
<para>
This is last resort method when reconstructing source URL is non-trivial and <literal>nix-prefetch-url -A</literal> isn't applicable (for example, <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d2ab091dd308b99e4912b805a5eb088dd536adb9/pkgs/applications/video/kodi/default.nix#L73"> one of <literal>kodi</literal> dependencies</link>). The easiest way then would be replace hash with a fake one and rebuild. Nix build will fail and error message will contain desired hash.

This method has security problems. Check below for details.

Let's say Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) sits close to your network. Then instead of fetching source you can fetch malware, and instead of source hash you get hash of malware. Here are security considerations for this scenario:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>http://</literal> URLs are not secure to prefetch hash from;
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>

</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<literal>https://</literal> URLs are not secure in method 5. When obtaining hashes with fake hash method, TLS checks are disabled. So refetch source hash from several different networks to exclude MITM scenario. Alternatively, use fake hash method to make Nix error, but instead of extracting hash from error, extract <literal>https://</literal> URL and prefetch it with method 1.

Find a good place in the Nixpkgs tree to add the Nix expression for your package. For instance, a library package typically goes into <filename>pkgs/development/libraries/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>, while a web browser goes into <filename>pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></filename>. See <xref linkend="sec-organisation" /> for some hints on the tree organisation. Create a directory for your package, e.g.

In the package directory, create a Nix expression — a piece of code that describes how to build the package.

<para>
The high change rate of Nixpkgs makes any pull request that remains open for too long 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 this issue. 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

<section xml:id="submitting-changes-tested-with-sandbox">
<title>Tested using sandboxing</title>
<para>
When sandbox builds are enabled, Nix will setup an isolated environment for each build process. It is used to remove further hidden dependencies set by the build environment to improve reproducibility. This includes access to the network during the build outside of <function>fetch*</function> functions and files outside the Nix store. Depending on the operating system access to other resources are blocked as well (ex. inter process communication is isolated on Linux); see <link
xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#conf-sandbox">sandbox</link> in Nix manual for details.
</para>
<para>
Sandboxing is not enabled by default in Nix due to a small performance hit on each build. In pull requests for <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/">nixpkgs</link> people are asked to test builds with sandboxing enabled (see <literal>Tested using sandboxing</literal> in the pull request template) because in<link
xlink:href="https://nixos.org/hydra/">https://nixos.org/hydra/</link> sandboxing is also used.
</para>

Depending if you use NixOS or other platforms you can use one of the following methods to enable sandboxing <emphasis role="bold">before</emphasis> building the package:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>

</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="submitting-changes-platform-diversity">
<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.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="submitting-changes-nixos-tests">
<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

<section xml:id="submitting-changes-tested-compilation">

<para>
If you are updating a package's version, you can use nixpkgs-review to make sure all packages that depend on the updated package still compile correctly. The <command>nixpkgs-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.

</section>
<section xml:id="submitting-changes-tested-execution">
<title>Tested execution of all binary files (usually in <filename>./result/bin/</filename>)</title>
<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.
</para>

<para>
The last checkbox is fits <link

The contributing document has detailed information on standards the Nix community has for commit messages, reviews, licensing of contributions you make to the project, etc...

<title>pkgs.overridePackages</title>
<para>
This function inside the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>)
can be used to override the set of packages itself.
</para>
<para>
Warning: this function is expensive and must not be used from within
the nixpkgs repository.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>let
pkgs = import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {};
newpkgs = pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {
foo = super.foo.override { ... };
};
in ...</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The resulting <varname>newpkgs</varname> will have the new <varname>foo</varname>
expression, and all other expressions depending on <varname>foo</varname> will also
use the new <varname>foo</varname> expression.
</para>
<para>
The behavior of this function is similar to <link
linkend="sec-modify-via-packageOverrides">config.packageOverrides</link>.
</para>
<para>
The <varname>self</varname> parameter refers to the final package set with the
applied overrides. Using this parameter may lead to infinite recursion if not
used consciously.
</para>
<para>
The <varname>super</varname> parameter refers to the old package set.
It's equivalent to <varname>pkgs</varname> in the above example.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-override">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.override</title>
<para>
The function <varname>override</varname> is usually available for all the
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
</para>
<para>
It is used to override the arguments passed to a function.
</para>
<para>
Example usages:
<programlisting>pkgs.foo.override { arg1 = val1; arg2 = val2; ... }</programlisting>
<programlisting>pkgs.overridePackages (self: super: {
foo = super.foo.override { barSupport = true ; };
})</programlisting>
<programlisting>mypkg = pkgs.callPackage ./mypkg.nix {
mydep = pkgs.mydep.override { ... };
})</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the first example, <varname>pkgs.foo</varname> is the result of a function call
with some default arguments, usually a derivation.
Using <varname>pkgs.foo.override</varname> will call the same function with
the given new arguments.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-pkg-overrideDerivation">
<title>&lt;pkg&gt;.overrideDerivation</title>
<para>
The function <varname>overrideDerivation</varname> is usually available for all the
derivations in the nixpkgs expression (<varname>pkgs</varname>).
</para>
<para>
It is used to create a new derivation by overriding the attributes of
the original derivation according to the given function.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>mySed = pkgs.gnused.overrideDerivation (oldAttrs: {
name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";
src = fetchurl {
url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2;
sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k";
};
patches = [];
});</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
In the above example, the name, src and patches of the derivation
will be overridden, while all other attributes will be retained from the
original derivation.
</para>
<para>
The argument <varname>oldAttrs</varname> is used to refer to the attribute set of
the original derivation.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="sec-lib-makeOverridable">
<title>lib.makeOverridable</title>
<para>
The function <varname>lib.makeOverridable</varname> is used make the result
of a function easily customizable. This utility only makes sense for functions
that accept an argument set and return an attribute set.
</para>
<para>
Example usage:
<programlisting>f = { a, b }: { result = a+b; }
c = lib.makeOverridable f { a = 1; b = 2; }</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The variable <varname>c</varname> is the value of the <varname>f</varname> function
applied with some default arguments. Hence the value of <varname>c.result</varname>
is <literal>3</literal>, in this example.
</para>
<para>
The variable <varname>c</varname> however also has some additional functions, like
<link linkend="sec-pkg-override">c.override</link> which can be used to
override the default arguments. In this example the value of
<varname>(c.override { a = 4; }).result</varname> is 6.

<title>buildFHSChrootEnv/buildFHSUserEnv</title>
<para>
<function>buildFHSChrootEnv</function> and
<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> provide a way to build and run
FHS-compatible lightweight sandboxes. They get their own isolated root with
binded <filename>/nix/store</filename>, so their footprint in terms of disk
space needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or
unfeasible to patch for NixOS -- 3rd-party source trees with FHS assumptions,
games distributed as tarballs, software with integrity checking and/or external
self-updated binaries.
</para>
<para>
<function>buildFHSChrootEnv</function> allows to create persistent
environments, which can be constructed, deconstructed and entered by
multiple users at once. A downside is that it requires
<literal>root</literal> access for both those who create and destroy and
those who enter it. It can be useful to create environments for daemons that
one can enter and observe.
</para>
<para>
<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> uses Linux namespaces feature to create
temporary lightweight environments which are destroyed after all child
processes exit. It does not require root access, and can be useful to create
sandboxes and wrap applications.
</para>
<para>
Those functions both rely on <function>buildFHSEnv</function>, which creates
an actual directory structure given a list of necessary packages and extra
build commands.
<function>buildFHSChrootEnv</function> and <function>buildFHSUserEnv</function>
both accept those arguments which are passed to

Additionally, <function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> accepts
<literal>runScript</literal> parameter, which is a command that would be
executed inside the sandbox and passed all the command line arguments. It
default to <literal>bash</literal>.
One can create a simple environment using a <literal>shell.nix</literal>
like that:
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
(pkgs.buildFHSUserEnv {
name = "simple-x11-env";
targetPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs;

libXcursor
libXrandr
]);
multiPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs;
[ udev

]) ++ (with [];
runScript = "bash";
}).env
]]></programlisting>
<para>
Running <literal>nix-shell</literal> would then drop you into a shell with
these libraries and binaries available. You can use this to run
closed-source applications which expect FHS structure without hassles:
simply change <literal>runScript</literal> to the application path,
e.g. <filename>./bin/start.sh</filename> -- relative paths are supported.

<title>Debugging Nix Expressions</title>
<para>
Nix is a unityped, dynamic language, this means every value can potentially appear anywhere. Since it is also non-strict, evaluation order and what ultimately is evaluated might surprise you. Therefore it is important to be able to debug nix expressions.
</para>
<para>
In the <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> file you will find a number of functions that help (pretty-)printing values while evaluation is runnnig. You can even specify how deep these values should be printed recursively, and transform them on the fly. Please consult the docstrings in <literal>lib/debug.nix</literal> for usage information.

<title>Generators</title>
<para>
Generators are functions that create file formats from nix data structures, e.g. for configuration files. There are generators available for: <literal>INI</literal>, <literal>JSON</literal> and <literal>YAML</literal>
</para>
<para>
All generators follow a similar call interface: <code>generatorName configFunctions data</code>, where <literal>configFunctions</literal> is an attrset of user-defined functions that format nested parts of the content. They each have common defaults, so often they do not need to be set manually. An example is <code>mkSectionName ? (name: libStr.escape [ "[" "]" ] name)</code> from the <literal>INI</literal> generator. It receives the name of a section and sanitizes it. The default <literal>mkSectionName</literal> escapes <literal>[</literal> and <literal>]</literal> with a backslash.
</para>
<para>
Generators can be fine-tuned to produce exactly the file format required by your application/service. One example is an INI-file format which uses <literal>: </literal> as separator, the strings <literal>"yes"</literal>/<literal>"no"</literal> as boolean values and requires all string values to be quoted:
</para>
<programlisting>
with lib;
let
customToINI = generators.toINI {
# specifies how to format a key/value pair
mkKeyValue = generators.mkKeyValueDefault {
# specifies the generated string for a subset of nix values
mkValueString = v:
if v == true then ''"yes"''
else if v == false then ''"no"''
else if isString v then ''"${v}"''
# and delegats all other values to the default generator
else generators.mkValueStringDefault {} v;
} ":";
};
# the INI file can now be given as plain old nix values
in customToINI {
main = {
pushinfo = true;
autopush = false;
host = "localhost";
port = 42;
};
mergetool = {
merge = "diff3";
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
This will produce the following INI file as nix string:
</para>
<programlisting>
[main]
autopush:"no"
host:"localhost"
port:42
pushinfo:"yes"
str\:ange:"very::strange"
[mergetool]
merge:"diff3"
</programlisting>
<note>
<para>
Nix store paths can be converted to strings by enclosing a derivation attribute like so: <code>"${drv}"</code>.
</para>

<para>
Detailed documentation for each generator can be found in <literal>lib/generators.nix</literal>.

<literal>pkgs.nix-gitignore</literal> exports a number of functions, but you'll most likely need either <literal>gitignoreSource</literal> or <literal>gitignoreSourcePure</literal>. As their first argument, they both accept either 1. a file with gitignore lines or 2. a string with gitignore lines, or 3. a list of either of the two.

<para>
Nixpkgs distributes build instructions for all Haskell packages
registered on
<link xlink:href="http://hackage.haskell.org/">Hackage</link>, but
strangely enough normal Nix package lookups don't seem to discover
any of them, except for the default version of ghc, cabal-install, and stack:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -i alex
error: selector alex matches no derivations
$ nix-env -qa ghc
ghc-7.10.2
</programlisting>
<para>
The Haskell package set is not registered in the top-level namespace
because it is <emphasis>huge</emphasis>. If all Haskell packages
were visible to these commands, then name-based search/install
operations would be much slower than they are now. We avoided that
by keeping all Haskell-related packages in a separate attribute set
called <literal>haskellPackages</literal>, which the following
command will list:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -qaP -A haskellPackages
haskellPackages.a50 a50-0.5
haskellPackages.abacate haskell-abacate-0.0.0.0
haskellPackages.abcBridge haskell-abcBridge-0.12
haskellPackages.afv afv-0.1.1
haskellPackages.alex alex-3.1.4
haskellPackages.Allure Allure-0.4.101.1
haskellPackages.alms alms-0.6.7
[... some 8000 entries omitted ...]
</programlisting>
<para>
To install any of those packages into your profile, refer to them by
their attribute path (first column):
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -iA haskellPackages.Allure ...
</programlisting>
<para>
The attribute path of any Haskell packages corresponds to the name
of that particular package on Hackage: the package
<literal>cabal-install</literal> has the attribute
<literal>haskellPackages.cabal-install</literal>, and so on.
(Actually, this convention causes trouble with packages like
<literal>3dmodels</literal> and <literal>4Blocks</literal>, because
these names are invalid identifiers in the Nix language. The issue
of how to deal with these rare corner cases is currently
unresolved.)
</para>
<para>
Haskell packages who's Nix name (second column) begins with a
<literal>haskell-</literal> prefix are packages that provide a
library whereas packages without that prefix provide just
executables. Libraries may provide executables too, though: the
package <literal>haskell-pandoc</literal>, for example, installs
both a library and an application. You can install and use Haskell
executables just like any other program in Nixpkgs, but using
Haskell libraries for development is a bit trickier and we'll
address that subject in great detail in section
<link linkend="how-to-create-a-development-environment">How to
create a development environment</link>.
</para>
<para>
Attribute paths are deterministic inside of Nixpkgs, but the path
necessary to reach Nixpkgs varies from system to system. We dodged
that problem by giving <literal>nix-env</literal> an explicit
<literal>-f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot;</literal> parameter, but if
you call <literal>nix-env</literal> without that flag, then chances
are the invocation fails:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -iA haskellPackages.cabal-install
error: attribute haskellPackages in selection path
haskellPackages.cabal-install not found
</programlisting>
<para>
On NixOS, for example, Nixpkgs does <emphasis>not</emphasis> exist
in the top-level namespace by default. To figure out the proper
attribute path, it's easiest to query for the path of a well-known
Nixpkgs package, i.e.:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -qaP coreutils
nixos.coreutils coreutils-8.23
</programlisting>
<para>
If your system responds like that (most NixOS installations will),
then the attribute path to <literal>haskellPackages</literal> is
<literal>nixos.haskellPackages</literal>. Thus, if you want to
use <literal>nix-env</literal> without giving an explicit
<literal>-f</literal> flag, then that's the way to do it:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -qaP -A nixos.haskellPackages
$ nix-env -iA nixos.haskellPackages.cabal-install
</programlisting>
<para>
Our current default compiler is GHC 7.10.x and the
<literal>haskellPackages</literal> set contains packages built with
that particular version. Nixpkgs contains the latest major release
of every GHC since 6.10.4, however, and there is a whole family of
package sets available that defines Hackage packages built with each
of those compilers, too:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc6123
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -qaP -A haskell.packages.ghc763
</programlisting>
<para>
The name <literal>haskellPackages</literal> is really just a synonym
for <literal>haskell.packages.ghc7102</literal>, because we prefer
that package set internally and recommend it to our users as their
default choice, but ultimately you are free to compile your Haskell
packages with any GHC version you please. The following command
displays the complete list of available compilers:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -qaP -A haskell.compiler
haskell.compiler.ghc6104 ghc-6.10.4
haskell.compiler.ghc6123 ghc-6.12.3
haskell.compiler.ghc704 ghc-7.0.4

haskell.compiler.ghcjs ghcjs-0.1.0
haskell.compiler.jhc jhc-0.8.2
haskell.compiler.uhc uhc-1.1.9.0
</programlisting>
<para>
We have no package sets for <literal>jhc</literal> or
<literal>uhc</literal> yet, unfortunately, but for every version of
GHC listed above, there exists a package set based on that compiler.
Also, the attributes <literal>haskell.compiler.ghcXYC</literal> and
<literal>haskell.packages.ghcXYC.ghc</literal> are synonymous for
the sake of convenience.

<title>How to install a compiler</title>
<para>
A simple development environment consists of a Haskell compiler
and the tool <literal>cabal-install</literal>, and we saw in
section <link linkend="how-to-install-haskell-packages">How to
install Haskell packages</link> how you can install those programs
into your user profile:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -iA haskellPackages.ghc haskellPackages.cabal-install
</programlisting>
<para>
Instead of the default package set
<literal>haskellPackages</literal>, you can also use the more
precise name <literal>haskell.compiler.ghc7102</literal>, which
has the advantage that it refers to the same GHC version
regardless of what Nixpkgs considers &quot;default&quot; at any
given time.
</para>
<para>
Once you've made those tools available in
<literal>$PATH</literal>, it's possible to build Hackage packages
the same way people without access to Nix do it all the time:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cabal get lens-4.11 &amp;&amp; cd lens-4.11
$ cabal install -j --dependencies-only
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
</programlisting>
<para>
If you enjoy working with Cabal sandboxes, then that's entirely
possible too: just execute the command
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cabal sandbox init
</programlisting>
<para>
before installing the required dependencies.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>nix-shell</literal> utility makes it easy to switch
to a different compiler version; just enter the Nix shell
environment with the command
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784
</programlisting>
<para>
to bring GHC 7.8.4 into <literal>$PATH</literal>. Re-running
<literal>cabal configure</literal> switches your build to use that
compiler instead. If you're working on a project that doesn't
depend on any additional system libraries outside of GHC, then
it's sufficient even to run the <literal>cabal configure</literal>
command inside of the shell:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-shell -p haskell.compiler.ghc784 --command &quot;cabal configure&quot;
</programlisting>
<para>
Afterwards, all other commands like <literal>cabal build</literal>
work just fine in any shell environment, because the configure
phase recorded the absolute paths to all required tools like GHC
in its build configuration inside of the <literal>dist/</literal>
directory. Please note, however, that
<literal>nix-collect-garbage</literal> can break such an
environment because the Nix store paths created by
<literal>nix-shell</literal> aren't &quot;alive&quot; anymore once
<literal>nix-shell</literal> has terminated. If you find that your
Haskell builds no longer work after garbage collection, then
you'll have to re-run <literal>cabal configure</literal> inside of
a new <literal>nix-shell</literal> environment.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="how-to-install-a-compiler-with-libraries">
<title>How to install a compiler with libraries</title>
<para>
GHC expects to find all installed libraries inside of its own
<literal>lib</literal> directory. This approach works fine on
traditional Unix systems, but it doesn't work for Nix, because
GHC's store path is immutable once it's built. We cannot install
additional libraries into that location. As a consequence, our
copies of GHC don't know any packages except their own core
libraries, like <literal>base</literal>,
<literal>containers</literal>, <literal>Cabal</literal>, etc.
</para>
<para>
We can register additional libraries to GHC, however, using a
special build function called <literal>ghcWithPackages</literal>.
That function expects one argument: a function that maps from an
attribute set of Haskell packages to a list of packages, which
determines the libraries known to that particular version of GHC.
For example, the Nix expression
<literal>ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])</literal> generates a
copy of GHC that has the <literal>mtl</literal> library registered
in addition to its normal core packages:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-shell -p &quot;haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: [pkgs.mtl])&quot;
[nix-shell:~]$ ghc-pkg list mtl
/nix/store/zy79...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2/package.conf.d:
mtl-2.2.1
</programlisting>
<para>
This function allows users to define their own development
environment by means of an override. After adding the following
snippet to <literal>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</literal>,
</para>
<programlisting>
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
myHaskellEnv = self.haskell.packages.ghc7102.ghcWithPackages
(haskellPackages: with haskellPackages; [
# libraries
arrows async cgi criterion
# tools
cabal-install haskintex
]);
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
it's possible to install that compiler with
<literal>nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -iA myHaskellEnv</literal>.
If you'd like to switch that development environment to a
different version of GHC, just replace the
<literal>ghc7102</literal> bit in the previous definition with the
appropriate name. Of course, it's also possible to define any
number of these development environments! (You can't install two
of them into the same profile at the same time, though, because
that would result in file conflicts.)
</para>
<para>
The generated <literal>ghc</literal> program is a wrapper script
that re-directs the real GHC executable to use a new
<literal>lib</literal> directory --- one that we specifically
constructed to contain all those packages the user requested:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cat $(type -p ghc)
#! /nix/store/xlxj...-bash-4.3-p33/bin/bash -e
export NIX_GHC=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc
export NIX_GHCPKG=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc-pkg
export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/share/doc/ghc/html
export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR=/nix/store/19sm...-ghc-7.10.2/lib/ghc-7.10.2
exec /nix/store/j50p...-ghc-7.10.2/bin/ghc &quot;-B$NIX_GHC_LIBDIR&quot; &quot;$@&quot;
</programlisting>
<para>
The variables <literal>$NIX_GHC</literal>,
<literal>$NIX_GHCPKG</literal>, etc. point to the
<emphasis>new</emphasis> store path
<literal>ghcWithPackages</literal> constructed specifically for
this environment. The last line of the wrapper script then
executes the real <literal>ghc</literal>, but passes the path to
the new <literal>lib</literal> directory using GHC's
<literal>-B</literal> flag.
</para>
<para>
The purpose of those environment variables is to work around an
impurity in the popular
<link xlink:href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-paths">ghc-paths</link>
library. That library promises to give its users access to GHC's
installation paths. Only, the library can't possible know that
path when it's compiled, because the path GHC considers its own is
determined only much later, when the user configures it through
<literal>ghcWithPackages</literal>. So we
<link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/ghc-paths-nix.patch">patched
ghc-paths</link> to return the paths found in those environment
variables at run-time rather than trying to guess them at
compile-time.
</para>
<para>
To make sure that mechanism works properly all the time, we
recommend that you set those variables to meaningful values in
your shell environment, too, i.e. by adding the following code to
your <literal>~/.bashrc</literal>:
</para>
<programlisting>
if type &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1 -p ghc; then
eval &quot;$(egrep ^export &quot;$(type -p ghc)&quot;)&quot;
fi
</programlisting>
<para>
If you are certain that you'll use only one GHC environment which
is located in your user profile, then you can use the following
code, too, which has the advantage that it doesn't contain any
paths from the Nix store, i.e. those settings always remain valid
even if a <literal>nix-env -u</literal> operation updates the GHC
environment in your profile:
</para>
<programlisting>
if [ -e ~/.nix-profile/bin/ghc ]; then
export NIX_GHC=&quot;$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc&quot;
export NIX_GHCPKG=&quot;$HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ghc-pkg&quot;
export NIX_GHC_DOCDIR=&quot;$HOME/.nix-profile/share/doc/ghc/html&quot;
export NIX_GHC_LIBDIR=&quot;$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ghc-$($NIX_GHC --numeric-version)&quot;

<section xml:id="how-to-create-ad-hoc-environments-for-nix-shell">
<title>How to create ad hoc environments for
<literal>nix-shell</literal></title>
<para>
The easiest way to create an ad hoc development environment is to
run <literal>nix-shell</literal> with the appropriate GHC
environment given on the command-line:
</para>
<programlisting>
nix-shell -p &quot;haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (pkgs: with pkgs; [mtl pandoc])&quot;
</programlisting>
<para>
For more sophisticated use-cases, however, it's more convenient to
save the desired configuration in a file called
<literal>shell.nix</literal> that looks like this:
</para>
<programlisting>
{ nixpkgs ? import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {}, compiler ? &quot;ghc7102&quot; }:
let
inherit (nixpkgs) pkgs;
ghc = pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.ghcWithPackages (ps: with ps; [
monad-par mtl
]);
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = &quot;my-haskell-env-0&quot;;
buildInputs = [ ghc ];
shellHook = &quot;eval $(egrep ^export ${ghc}/bin/ghc)&quot;;
}
</programlisting>
<para>
Now run <literal>nix-shell</literal> --- or even
<literal>nix-shell --pure</literal> --- to enter a shell
environment that has the appropriate compiler in
<literal>$PATH</literal>. If you use <literal>--pure</literal>,
then add all other packages that your development environment
needs into the <literal>buildInputs</literal> attribute. If you'd
like to switch to a different compiler version, then pass an
appropriate <literal>compiler</literal> argument to the
expression, i.e.
<literal>nix-shell --argstr compiler ghc784</literal>.
</para>
<para>
If you need such an environment because you'd like to compile a
Hackage package outside of Nix --- i.e. because you're hacking on
the latest version from Git ---, then the package set provides
suitable nix-shell environments for you already! Every Haskell
package has an <literal>env</literal> attribute that provides a
shell environment suitable for compiling that particular package.
If you'd like to hack the <literal>lens</literal> library, for
example, then you just have to check out the source code and enter
the appropriate environment:
</para>

<title>How to create Nix builds for your own private Haskell
packages</title>
<para>
If your own Haskell packages have build instructions for Cabal, then
you can convert those automatically into build instructions for Nix
using the <literal>cabal2nix</literal> utility, which you can
install into your profile by running
<literal>nix-env -i cabal2nix</literal>.
</para>
<section xml:id="how-to-build-a-stand-alone-project">
<title>How to build a stand-alone project</title>
<para>
For example, let's assume that you're working on a private project
called <literal>foo</literal>. To generate a Nix build expression
for it, change into the project's top-level directory and run the
command:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cabal2nix . &gt;foo.nix
</programlisting>
<para>
Then write the following snippet into a file called
<literal>default.nix</literal>:
</para>
<programlisting>
{ nixpkgs ? import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {}, compiler ? &quot;ghc7102&quot; }:
nixpkgs.pkgs.haskell.packages.${compiler}.callPackage ./foo.nix { }
</programlisting>
<para>
Finally, store the following code in a file called
<literal>shell.nix</literal>:
</para>
<programlisting>
{ nixpkgs ? import &lt;nixpkgs&gt; {}, compiler ? &quot;ghc7102&quot; }:
(import ./default.nix { inherit nixpkgs compiler; }).env
</programlisting>
<para>
At this point, you can run <literal>nix-build</literal> to have
Nix compile your project and install it into a Nix store path. The
local directory will contain a symlink called
<literal>result</literal> after <literal>nix-build</literal>
returns that points into that location. Of course, passing the
flag <literal>--argstr compiler ghc763</literal> allows switching
the build to any version of GHC currently supported.
</para>
<para>
Furthermore, you can call <literal>nix-shell</literal> to enter an
interactive development environment in which you can use
<literal>cabal configure</literal> and
<literal>cabal build</literal> to develop your code. That
environment will automatically contain a proper GHC derivation
with all the required libraries registered as well as all the
system-level libraries your package might need.
</para>
<para>
If your package does not depend on any system-level libraries,
then it's sufficient to run
</para>
<programlisting>
$ nix-shell --command &quot;cabal configure&quot;
</programlisting>
<para>
once to set up your build. <literal>cabal-install</literal>
determines the absolute paths to all resources required for the
build and writes them into a config file in the
<literal>dist/</literal> directory. Once that's done, you can run
<literal>cabal build</literal> and any other command for that
project even outside of the <literal>nix-shell</literal>
environment. This feature is particularly nice for those of us who
like to edit their code with an IDE, like Emacs'
<literal>haskell-mode</literal>, because it's not necessary to
start Emacs inside of nix-shell just to make it find out the
necessary settings for building the project;
<literal>cabal-install</literal> has already done that for us.
</para>
<para>
If you want to do some quick-and-dirty hacking and don't want to
bother setting up a <literal>default.nix</literal> and
<literal>shell.nix</literal> file manually, then you can use the
<literal>--shell</literal> flag offered by
<literal>cabal2nix</literal> to have it generate a stand-alone
<literal>nix-shell</literal> environment for you. With that
feature, running
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cabal2nix --shell . &gt;shell.nix
$ nix-shell --command &quot;cabal configure&quot;
</programlisting>
<para>
is usually enough to set up a build environment for any given
Haskell package. You can even use that generated file to run
<literal>nix-build</literal>, too:

<title>How to build projects that depend on each other</title>
<para>
If you have multiple private Haskell packages that depend on each
other, then you'll have to register those packages in the Nixpkgs
set to make them visible for the dependency resolution performed
by <literal>callPackage</literal>. First of all, change into each
of your projects top-level directories and generate a
<literal>default.nix</literal> file with
<literal>cabal2nix</literal>:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cd ~/src/foo &amp;&amp; cabal2nix . &gt;default.nix
$ cd ~/src/bar &amp;&amp; cabal2nix . &gt;default.nix
</programlisting>
<para>
Then edit your <literal>~/.nixpkgs/config.nix</literal> file to
register those builds in the default Haskell package set:
</para>
<programlisting>
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{

overrides = self: super: {
foo = self.callPackage ../src/foo {};
bar = self.callPackage ../src/bar {};

};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
Once that's accomplished,
<literal>nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -qA haskellPackages</literal>
will show your packages like any other package from Hackage, and
you can build them
</para>
<programlisting>

Every Haskell package set takes a function called

To accomplish that, add configure the following snippet in your

<title>How to override package versions in a compiler-specific

<para>
Nixpkgs provides the latest version of
<link xlink:href="http://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghc-events"><literal>ghc-events</literal></link>,
which is 0.4.4.0 at the time of this writing. This is fine for
users of GHC 7.10.x, but GHC 7.8.4 cannot compile that binary.
Now, one way to solve that problem is to register an older version
of <literal>ghc-events</literal> in the 7.8.x-specific package
set. The first step is to generate Nix build instructions with
<literal>cabal2nix</literal>:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cabal2nix cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 &gt;~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
</programlisting>
<para>

</para>
<programlisting>

packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
haskell = super.haskell // {
packages = super.haskell.packages // {
ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
};
};
};
};
};
}
</programlisting>
<para>
This code is a little crazy, no doubt, but it's necessary because
the intuitive version
</para>
<programlisting>
haskell.packages.ghc784 = super.haskell.packages.ghc784.override {
overrides = self: super: {
ghc-events = self.callPackage ./ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix {};
};
};
</programlisting>
<para>
doesn't do what we want it to: that code replaces the
<literal>haskell</literal> package set in Nixpkgs with one that
contains only one entry,<literal>packages</literal>, which
contains only one entry <literal>ghc784</literal>. This override
loses the <literal>haskell.compiler</literal> set, and it loses
the <literal>haskell.packages.ghcXYZ</literal> sets for all
compilers but GHC 7.8.4. To avoid that problem, we have to perform
the convoluted little dance from above, iterating over each step
in hierarchy.
</para>
<para>
Once it's accomplished, however, we can install a variant of
<literal>ghc-events</literal> that's compiled with GHC 7.8.4:
</para>
<programlisting>
nix-env -f &quot;&lt;nixpkgs&gt;&quot; -iA haskell.packages.ghc784.ghc-events
</programlisting>
<para>
Unfortunately, it turns out that this build fails again while
executing the test suite! Apparently, the release archive on
Hackage is missing some data files that the test suite requires,
so we cannot run it. We accomplish that by re-generating the Nix
expression with the <literal>--no-check</literal> flag:
</para>
<programlisting>
$ cabal2nix --no-check cabal://ghc-events-0.4.3.0 &gt;~/.nixpkgs/ghc-events-0.4.3.0.nix
</programlisting>
<para>
Now the builds succeeds.
</para>
<para>
Of course, in the concrete example of
<literal>ghc-events</literal> this whole exercise is not an ideal
solution, because <literal>ghc-events</literal> can analyze the
output emitted by any version of GHC later than 6.12 regardless of
the compiler version that was used to build the `ghc-events'
executable, so strictly speaking there's no reason to prefer one
built with GHC 7.8.x in the first place. However, for users who
cannot use GHC 7.10.x at all for some reason, the approach of
downgrading to an older version might be useful.

title: Agda
author: Alex Rice (alexarice)
date: 2020-01-06

# Agda
## How to use Agda
Agda can be installed from `agda`:
```
$ nix-env -iA agda
```
To use agda with libraries, the `agda.withPackages` function can be used. This function either takes:
+ A list of packages,
+ or a function which returns a list of packages when given the `agdaPackages` attribute set,
+ or an attribute set containing a list of packages and a GHC derivation for compilation (see below).
For example, suppose we wanted a version of agda which has access to the standard library. This can be obtained with the expressions:
```
agda.withPackages [ agdaPackages.standard-library ]
```
or
```
agda.withPackages (p: [ p.standard-library ])
```
or can be called as in the [Compiling Agda](#compiling-agda) section.
If you want to use a library in your home directory (for instance if it is a development version) then typecheck it manually (using `agda.withPackages` if necessary) and then override the `src` attribute of the package to point to your local repository.
Agda will not by default use these libraries. To tell agda to use the library we have some options:
- Call `agda` with the library flag:
```
$ agda -l standard-library -i . MyFile.agda
```
- Write a `my-library.agda-lib` file for the project you are working on which may look like:
```
name: my-library
include: .
depend: standard-library
```
- Create the file `~/.agda/defaults` and add any libraries you want to use by default.
More information can be found in the [official Agda documentation on library management](https://agda.readthedocs.io/en/v2.6.1/tools/package-system.html).
## Compiling Agda
Agda modules can be compiled with the `--compile` flag. A version of `ghc` with `ieee` is made available to the Agda program via the `--with-compiler` flag.
This can be overridden by a different version of `ghc` as follows:
```
agda.withPackages {
pkgs = [ ... ];
ghc = haskell.compiler.ghcHEAD;
}
```
## Writing Agda packages
To write a nix derivation for an agda library, first check that the library has a `*.agda-lib` file.
A derivation can then be written using `agdaPackages.mkDerivation`. This has similar arguments to `stdenv.mkDerivation` with the following additions:
+ `everythingFile` can be used to specify the location of the `Everything.agda` file, defaulting to `./Everything.agda`. If this file does not exist then either it should be patched in or the `buildPhase` should be overridden (see below).
+ `libraryName` should be the name that appears in the `*.agda-lib` file, defaulting to `pname`.
+ `libraryFile` should be the file name of the `*.agda-lib` file, defaulting to `${libraryName}.agda-lib`.
### Building Agda packages
The default build phase for `agdaPackages.mkDerivation` simply runs `agda` on the `Everything.agda` file.
If something else is needed to build the package (e.g. `make`) then the `buildPhase` should be overridden.
Additionally, a `preBuild` or `configurePhase` can be used if there are steps that need to be done prior to checking the `Everything.agda` file.
`agda` and the Agda libraries contained in `buildInputs` are made available during the build phase.
### Installing Agda packages
The default install phase copies agda source files, agda interface files (`*.agdai`) and `*.agda-lib` files to the output directory.
This can be overridden.
By default, agda sources are files ending on `.agda`, or literate agda files ending on `.lagda`, `.lagda.tex`, `.lagda.org`, `.lagda.md`, `.lagda.rst`. The list of recognised agda source extensions can be extended by setting the `extraExtensions` config variable.
To add an agda package to `nixpkgs`, the derivation should be written to `pkgs/development/libraries/agda/${library-name}/` and an entry should be added to `pkgs/top-level/agda-packages.nix`. Here it is called in a scope with access to all other agda libraries, so the top line of the `default.nix` can look like:
```
{ mkDerivation, standard-library, fetchFromGitHub }:
```
and `mkDerivation` should be called instead of `agdaPackages.mkDerivation`. Here is an example skeleton derivation for iowa-stdlib:
```
mkDerivation {
version = "1.5.0";
pname = "iowa-stdlib";
src = ...
libraryFile = "";
libraryName = "IAL-1.3";
buildPhase = ''
patchShebangs find-deps.sh
make
'';
}
```
This library has a file called `.agda-lib`, and so we give an empty string to `libraryFile` as nothing precedes `.agda-lib` in the filename. This file contains `name: IAL-1.3`, and so we let `libraryName = "IAL-1.3"`. This library does not use an `Everything.agda` file and instead has a Makefile, so there is no need to set `everythingFile` and we set a custom `buildPhase`.
When writing an agda package it is essential to make sure that no `.agda-lib` file gets added to the store as a single file (for example by using `writeText`). This causes agda to think that the nix store is a agda library and it will attempt to write to it whenever it typechecks something. See [https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/4613](https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/4613).

# Android
The Android build environment provides three major features and a number of
supporting features.
Deploying an Android SDK installation with plugins
--------------------------------------------------
The first use case is deploying the SDK with a desired set of plugins or subsets
of an SDK.
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
androidComposition = androidenv.composeAndroidPackages {
toolsVersion = "25.2.5";
platformToolsVersion = "27.0.1";
buildToolsVersions = [ "27.0.3" ];
includeEmulator = false;
emulatorVersion = "27.2.0";
platformVersions = [ "24" ];
includeSources = false;
includeDocs = false;
includeSystemImages = false;
systemImageTypes = [ "default" ];
abiVersions = [ "armeabi-v7a" ];
lldbVersions = [ "2.0.2558144" ];
cmakeVersions = [ "3.6.4111459" ];
includeNDK = false;
ndkVersion = "16.1.4479499";
useGoogleAPIs = false;
useGoogleTVAddOns = false;
includeExtras = [
"extras;google;gcm"
];
};
in
androidComposition.androidsdk
```
The above function invocation states that we want an Android SDK with the above
specified plugin versions. By default, most plugins are disabled. Notable
exceptions are the tools, platform-tools and build-tools sub packages.
The following parameters are supported:
* `toolsVersion`, specifies the version of the tools package to use
* `platformsToolsVersion` specifies the version of the `platform-tools` plugin
* `buildToolsVersion` specifies the versions of the `build-tools` plugins to
use.
* `includeEmulator` specifies whether to deploy the emulator package (`false`
by default). When enabled, the version of the emulator to deploy can be
specified by setting the `emulatorVersion` parameter.
* `includeDocs` specifies whether the documentation catalog should be included.
* `lldbVersions` specifies what LLDB versions should be deployed.
* `cmakeVersions` specifies which CMake versions should be deployed.
* `includeNDK` specifies that the Android NDK bundle should be included.
Defaults to: `false`.
* `ndkVersion` specifies the NDK version that we want to use.
* `includeExtras` is an array of identifier strings referring to arbitrary
add-on packages that should be installed.
* `platformVersions` specifies which platform SDK versions should be included.
For each platform version that has been specified, we can apply the following
options:
* `includeSystemImages` specifies whether a system image for each platform SDK
should be included.
* `includeSources` specifies whether the sources for each SDK version should be
included.
* `useGoogleAPIs` specifies that for each selected platform version the
Google API should be included.
* `useGoogleTVAddOns` specifies that for each selected platform version the
Google TV add-on should be included.
For each requested system image we can specify the following options:
* `systemImageTypes` specifies what kind of system images should be included.
Defaults to: `default`.
* `abiVersions` specifies what kind of ABI version of each system image should
be included. Defaults to: `armeabi-v7a`.
Most of the function arguments have reasonable default settings.
When building the above expression with:
```bash
$ nix-build
```
The Android SDK gets deployed with all desired plugin versions.
We can also deploy subsets of the Android SDK. For example, to only the
`platform-tools` package, you can evaluate the following expression:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let
androidComposition = androidenv.composeAndroidPackages {
# ...
};
in
androidComposition.platform-tools
```
Using predefine Android package compositions
--------------------------------------------
In addition to composing an Android package set manually, it is also possible
to use a predefined composition that contains all basic packages for a specific
Android version, such as version 9.0 (API-level 28).
The following Nix expression can be used to deploy the entire SDK with all basic
plugins:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0.androidsdk
```
It is also possible to use one plugin only:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.androidPkgs_9_0.platform-tools
```
Building an Android application
-------------------------------
In addition to the SDK, it is also possible to build an Ant-based Android
project and automatically deploy all the Android plugins that a project
requires.
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.buildApp {
name = "MyAndroidApp";
src = ./myappsources;
release = true;
# If release is set to true, you need to specify the following parameters
keyStore = ./keystore;
keyAlias = "myfirstapp";
keyStorePassword = "mykeystore";
keyAliasPassword = "myfirstapp";
# Any Android SDK parameters that install all the relevant plugins that a
# build requires
platformVersions = [ "24" ];
# When we include the NDK, then ndk-build is invoked before Ant gets invoked
includeNDK = true;
}
```
Aside from the app-specific build parameters (`name`, `src`, `release` and
keystore parameters), the `buildApp {}` function supports all the function
parameters that the SDK composition function (the function shown in the
previous section) supports.
This build function is particularly useful when it is desired to use
[Hydra](https://nixos.org/hydra): the Nix-based continuous integration solution
to build Android apps. An Android APK gets exposed as a build product and can be
installed on any Android device with a web browser by navigating to the build
result page.
Spawning emulator instances
---------------------------
For testing purposes, it can also be quite convenient to automatically generate
scripts that spawn emulator instances with all desired configuration settings.
An emulator spawn script can be configured by invoking the `emulateApp {}`
function:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.emulateApp {
name = "emulate-MyAndroidApp";
platformVersion = "28";
abiVersion = "x86"; # armeabi-v7a, mips, x86_64
systemImageType = "google_apis_playstore";
}
```
Additional flags may be applied to the Android SDK's emulator through the runtime environment variable `$NIX_ANDROID_EMULATOR_FLAGS`.
It is also possible to specify an APK to deploy inside the emulator
and the package and activity names to launch it:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
androidenv.emulateApp {
name = "emulate-MyAndroidApp";
platformVersion = "24";
abiVersion = "armeabi-v7a"; # mips, x86, x86_64
systemImageType = "default";
useGoogleAPIs = false;
app = ./MyApp.apk;
package = "MyApp";
activity = "MainActivity";
}
```
In addition to prebuilt APKs, you can also bind the APK parameter to a
`buildApp {}` function invocation shown in the previous example.
Querying the available versions of each plugin
----------------------------------------------
When using any of the previously shown functions, it may be a bit inconvenient
to find out what options are supported, since the Android SDK provides many
plugins.
A shell script in the `pkgs/development/mobile/androidenv/` sub directory can be used to retrieve all
possible options:
```bash
sh ./querypackages.sh packages build-tools
```
The above command-line instruction queries all build-tools versions in the
generated `packages.nix` expression.
Updating the generated expressions
----------------------------------
Most of the Nix expressions are generated from XML files that the Android
package manager uses. To update the expressions run the `generate.sh` script
that is stored in the `pkgs/development/mobile/androidenv/` sub directory:
```bash
./generate.sh
```

In this document and related Nix expressions, we use the term, <emphasis>BEAM</emphasis>, to describe the environment. BEAM is the name of the Erlang Virtual Machine and, as far as we're concerned, from a packaging perspective, all languages that run on the BEAM are interchangeable.

# Crystal
## Building a Crystal package
This section uses [Mint](https://github.com/mint-lang/mint) as an example for how to build a Crystal package.
If the Crystal project has any dependencies, the first step is to get a `shards.nix` file encoding those. Get a copy of the project and go to its root directory such that its `shard.lock` file is in the current directory, then run `crystal2nix` in it
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/mint-lang/mint
$ cd mint
$ git checkout 0.5.0
$ nix-shell -p crystal2nix --run crystal2nix
```
This should have generated a `shards.nix` file.
Next create a Nix file for your derivation and use `pkgs.crystal.buildCrystalPackage` as follows:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
crystal.buildCrystalPackage rec {
pname = "mint";
version = "0.5.0";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "mint-lang";
repo = "mint";
rev = version;
sha256 = "0vxbx38c390rd2ysvbwgh89v2232sh5rbsp3nk9wzb70jybpslvl";
};
# Insert the path to your shards.nix file here
shardsFile = ./shards.nix;
...
}
```
This won't build anything yet, because we haven't told it what files build. We can specify a mapping from binary names to source files with the `crystalBinaries` attribute. The project's compilation instructions should show this. For Mint, the binary is called "mint", which is compiled from the source file `src/mint.cr`, so we'll specify this as follows:
```nix
crystalBinaries.mint.src = "src/mint.cr";
# ...
```
Additionally you can override the default `crystal build` options (which are currently `--release --progress --no-debug --verbose`) with
```nix
crystalBinaries.mint.options = [ "--release" "--verbose" ];
```
Depending on the project, you might need additional steps to get it to compile successfully. In Mint's case, we need to link against openssl, so in the end the Nix file looks as follows:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
crystal.buildCrystalPackage rec {
version = "0.5.0";
pname = "mint";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "mint-lang";
repo = "mint";
rev = version;
sha256 = "0vxbx38c390rd2ysvbwgh89v2232sh5rbsp3nk9wzb70jybpslvl";
};
shardsFile = ./shards.nix;
crystalBinaries.mint.src = "src/mint.cr";
buildInputs = [ openssl ];
}

# Dotnet
## Local Development Workflow
For local development, it's recommended to use nix-shell to create a dotnet environment:
```
# shell.nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
mkShell {
name = "dotnet-env";
buildInputs = [
dotnet-sdk_3
];
}
```
### Using many sdks in a workflow
It's very likely that more than one sdk will be needed on a given project. Dotnet provides several different frameworks (E.g dotnetcore, aspnetcore, etc.) as well as many versions for a given framework. Normally, dotnet is able to fetch a framework and install it relative to the executable. However, this would mean writing to the nix store in nixpkgs, which is read-only. To support the many-sdk use case, one can compose an environment using `dotnetCorePackages.combinePackages`:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
mkShell {
name = "dotnet-env";
buildInputs = [
(with dotnetCorePackages; combinePackages [
sdk_3_1
sdk_3_0
sdk_2_1
])
];
}
```
This will produce a dotnet installation that has the dotnet 3.1, 3.0, and 2.1 sdk. The first sdk listed will have it's cli utility present in the resulting environment. Example info output:
```
$ dotnet --info
.NET Core SDK (reflecting any global.json):

## dotnet-sdk vs dotnetCorePackages.sdk
The `dotnetCorePackages.sdk_X_Y` is preferred over the old dotnet-sdk as both major and minor version are very important for a dotnet environment. If a given minor version isn't present (or was changed), then this will likely break your ability to build a project.
## dotnetCorePackages.sdk vs dotnetCorePackages.netcore vs dotnetCorePackages.aspnetcore
The `dotnetCorePackages.sdk` contains both a runtime and the full sdk of a given version. The `netcore` and `aspnetcore` packages are meant to serve as minimal runtimes to deploy alongside already built applications.
## Packaging a Dotnet Application
Ideally, we would like to build against the sdk, then only have the dotnet runtime available in the runtime closure.

# Emscripten
[Emscripten](https://github.com/kripken/emscripten): An LLVM-to-JavaScript Compiler
This section of the manual covers how to use `emscripten` in nixpkgs.
Minimal requirements:
* nix
* nixpkgs
Modes of use of `emscripten`:
* **Imperative usage** (on the command line):
If you want to work with `emcc`, `emconfigure` and `emmake` as you are used to from Ubuntu and similar distributions you can use these commands:
* `nix-env -i emscripten`
* `nix-shell -p emscripten`
* **Declarative usage**:
This mode is far more power full since this makes use of `nix` for dependency management of emscripten libraries and targets by using the `mkDerivation` which is implemented by `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv` and `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`. The source for the packages is in `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix` and the abstraction behind it in `pkgs/development/em-modules/generic/default.nix`.
* build and install all packages:
* `nix-env -iA emscriptenPackages`
* dev-shell for zlib implementation hacking:
* `nix-shell -A emscriptenPackages.zlib`
## Imperative usage
A few things to note:
* `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` is nice for debugging
* `~/.emscripten`, the build artifact cache sometimes creates issues and needs to be removed from time to time
## Declarative usage
Let's see two different examples from `pkgs/top-level/emscripten-packages.nix`:
* `pkgs.zlib.override`
* `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage`
Both are interesting concepts.
A special requirement of the `pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage` is the `doCheck = true` is a default meaning that each emscriptenPackage requires a `checkPhase` implemented.
* Use `export EMCC_DEBUG=2` from within a emscriptenPackage's `phase` to get more detailed debug output what is going wrong.
* ~/.emscripten cache is requiring us to set `HOME=$TMPDIR` in individual phases. This makes compilation slower but also makes it more deterministic.
### Usage 1: pkgs.zlib.override
This example uses `zlib` from nixpkgs but instead of compiling **C** to **ELF** it compiles **C** to **JS** since we were using `pkgs.zlib.override` and changed stdenv to `pkgs.emscriptenStdenv`. A few adaptions and hacks were set in place to make it working. One advantage is that when `pkgs.zlib` is updated, it will automatically update this package as well. However, this can also be the downside...
See the `zlib` example:
zlib = (pkgs.zlib.override {
stdenv = pkgs.emscriptenStdenv;
}).overrideDerivation
(old: rec {
buildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [ pkgconfig ];
# we need to reset this setting!
NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE="";
configurePhase = ''
# FIXME: Some tests require writing at $HOME
HOME=$TMPDIR
runHook preConfigure
#export EMCC_DEBUG=2
emconfigure ./configure --prefix=$out --shared
runHook postConfigure
'';
dontStrip = true;
outputs = [ "out" ];
buildPhase = ''
emmake make
'';
installPhase = ''
emmake make install
'';
checkPhase = ''
echo "================= testing zlib using node ================="
echo "Compiling a custom test"
set -x
emcc -O2 -s EMULATE_FUNCTION_POINTER_CASTS=1 test/example.c -DZ_SOLO \
libz.so.${old.version} -I . -o example.js
echo "Using node to execute the test"
${pkgs.nodejs}/bin/node ./example.js
set +x
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "test failed for some reason"
exit 1;

substituteInPlace configure \
--replace '/usr/bin/libtool' 'ar' \
--replace 'AR="libtool"' 'AR="ar"' \
--replace 'ARFLAGS="-o"' 'ARFLAGS="-r"'
'';
});
### Usage 2: pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage
This `xmlmirror` example features a emscriptenPackage which is defined completely from this context and no `pkgs.zlib.override` is used.
xmlmirror = pkgs.buildEmscriptenPackage rec {
name = "xmlmirror";
buildInputs = [ pkgconfig autoconf automake libtool gnumake libxml2 nodejs openjdk json_c ];
nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgconfig zlib ];

};
### Declarative debugging
Use `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz` and from there you can go trough the individual steps. This makes it easy to build a good `unit test` or list the files of the project.
1. `nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/some/dir/nixpkgs -A emscriptenPackages.libz`
2. `cd /tmp/`
3. `unpackPhase`
4. cd libz-1.2.3
5. `configurePhase`
6. `buildPhase`
7. ... happy hacking...
## Summary
Using this toolchain makes it easy to leverage `nix` from NixOS, MacOSX or even Windows (WSL+ubuntu+nix). This toolchain is reproducible, behaves like the rest of the packages from nixpkgs and contains a set of well working examples to learn and adapt from.
If in trouble, ask the maintainers.

<title>Packaging GNOME applications</title>
<para>
Programs in the GNOME universe are written in various languages but they all use GObject-based libraries like GLib, GTK or GStreamer. These libraries are often modular, relying on looking into certain directories to find their modules. However, due to Nixs specific file system organization, this will fail without our intervention. Fortunately, the libraries usually allow overriding the directories through environment variables, either natively or thanks to a patch in nixpkgs. <link xlink:href="#fun-wrapProgram">Wrapping</link> the executables to ensure correct paths are available to the application constitutes a significant part of packaging a modern desktop application. In this section, we will describe various modules needed by such applications, environment variables needed to make the modules load, and finally a script that will do the work for us.
</para>
<section xml:id="ssec-gnome-settings">
<title>Settings</title>
<para>
<link xlink:href="https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GSettings.html">GSettings</link> API is often used for storing settings. GSettings schemas are required, to know the type and other metadata of the stored values. GLib looks for <filename>glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled</filename> files inside the directories of <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar>.
</para>
<para>
On Linux, GSettings API is implemented using <link xlink:href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/dconf">dconf</link> backend. You will need to add <literal>dconf</literal> GIO module to <envar>GIO_EXTRA_MODULES</envar> variable, otherwise the <literal>memory</literal> backend will be used and the saved settings will not be persistent.
</para>
<para>
Last you will need the dconf database D-Bus service itself. You can enable it using <option>programs.dconf.enable</option>.
</para>
<para>
Some applications will also require <package>gsettings-desktop-schemas</package> for things like reading proxy configuration or user interface customization. This dependency is often not mentioned by upstream, you should grep for <literal>org.gnome.desktop</literal> and <literal>org.gnome.system</literal> to see if the schemas are needed.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ssec-gnome-icons">
<title>Icons</title>
<para>
When an application uses icons, an icon theme should be available in <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar> during runtime. The package for the default, icon-less <link xlink:href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/icon-theme/">hicolor-icon-theme</link> (should be propagated by every icon theme) contains <link linkend="ssec-gnome-hooks-hicolor-icon-theme">a setup hook</link> that will pick up icon themes from <literal>buildInputs</literal> and pass it to our wrapper. Unfortunately, relying on that would mean every user has to download the theme included in the package expression no matter their preference. For that reason, we leave the installation of icon theme on the user. If you use one of the desktop environments, you probably already have an icon theme installed.
</para>
<para>
To avoid costly file system access when locating icons, GTK, <link xlink:href="https://woboq.com/blog/qicon-reads-gtk-icon-cache-in-qt57.html">as well as Qt</link>, can rely on <filename>icon-theme.cache</filename> files from the themes top-level directories. These files are generated using <command>gtk-update-icon-cache</command>, which is expected to be run whenever an icon is added or removed to an icon theme (typically an application icon into <literal>hicolor</literal> theme) and some programs do indeed run this after icon installation. However, since packages are installed into their own prefix by Nix, this would lead to conflicts. For that reason, <package>gtk3</package> provides a <link xlink:href="#ssec-gnome-hooks-gtk-drop-icon-theme-cache">setup hook</link> that will clean the file from installation. Since most applications only ship their own icon that will be loaded on start-up, it should not affect them too much. On the other hand, icon themes are much larger and more widely used so we need to cache them. Because we recommend installing icon themes globally, we will generate the cache files from all packages in a profile using a NixOS module. You can enable the cache generation using <option>gtk.iconCache.enable</option> option if your desktop environment does not already do that.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="ssec-icon-theme-packaging">
<title>Packaging icon themes</title>
<para>
Icon themes may inherit from other icon themes. The inheritance is specified using the <literal>Inherits</literal> key in the <filename>index.theme</filename> file distributed with the icon theme. According to the <link xlink:href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html">icon theme specification</link>, icons not provided by the theme are looked for in its parent icon themes. Therefore the parent themes should be installed as dependencies for a more complete experience regarding the icon sets used.
</para>
<para>
The package <package>hicolor-icon-theme</package> provides a setup hook which makes symbolic links for the parent themes into the directory <filename>share/icons</filename> of the current theme directory in the nix store, making sure they can be found at runtime. For that to work the packages providing parent icon themes should be listed as propagated build dependencies, together with <package>hicolor-icon-theme</package>.
</para>
<para>
Also make sure that <filename>icon-theme.cache</filename> is installed for each theme provided by the package, and set <code>dontDropIconThemeCache</code> to <code>true</code> so that the cache file is not removed by the <package>gtk3</package> setup hook.
</para>

<section xml:id="ssec-gnome-themes">
<title>GTK Themes</title>
<para>
Previously, a GTK theme needed to be in <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar>. This is no longer necessary for most programs since GTK incorporated Adwaita theme. Some programs (for example, those designed for <link xlink:href="https://elementary.io/docs/human-interface-guidelines#human-interface-guidelines">elementary HIG</link>) might require a special theme like <package>pantheon.elementary-gtk-theme</package>.

# Idris
## Installing Idris
The easiest way to get a working idris version is to install the `idris` attribute:
```
$ # On NixOS
$ nix-env -i nixos.idris
$ # On non-NixOS
$ nix-env -i nixpkgs.idris
```
This however only provides the `prelude` and `base` libraries. To install idris with additional libraries, you can use the `idrisPackages.with-packages` function, e.g. in an overlay in `~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/my-idris.nix`:
```nix
self: super: {
myIdris = with self.idrisPackages; with-packages [ contrib pruviloj ];
}
```
And then:
```
$ # On NixOS
$ nix-env -iA nixos.myIdris
$ # On non-NixOS
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.myIdris
```
To see all available Idris packages:
```
$ # On NixOS
$ nix-env -qaPA nixos.idrisPackages
$ # On non-NixOS
$ nix-env -qaPA nixpkgs.idrisPackages
```
Similarly, entering a `nix-shell`:
```
$ nix-shell -p 'idrisPackages.with-packages (with idrisPackages; [ contrib pruviloj ])'
```
## Starting Idris with library support
To have access to these libraries in idris, call it with an argument `-p <library name>` for each library:
```
$ nix-shell -p 'idrisPackages.with-packages (with idrisPackages; [ contrib pruviloj ])'
[nix-shell:~]$ idris -p contrib -p pruviloj
```
A listing of all available packages the Idris binary has access to is available via `--listlibs`:
```
$ idris --listlibs
00prelude-idx.ibc
pruviloj
base
contrib
prelude
00pruviloj-idx.ibc
00base-idx.ibc
00contrib-idx.ibc
```
## Building an Idris project with Nix
As an example of how a Nix expression for an Idris package can be created, here is the one for `idrisPackages.yaml`:
```nix
{ build-idris-package
, fetchFromGitHub
, contrib
, lightyear
, lib
}:
build-idris-package {
name = "yaml";
version = "2018-01-25";
# This is the .ipkg file that should be built, defaults to the package name
# In this case it should build `Yaml.ipkg` instead of `yaml.ipkg`
# This is only necessary because the yaml packages ipkg file is
# different from its package name here.
ipkgName = "Yaml";
# Idris dependencies to provide for the build
idrisDeps = [ contrib lightyear ];
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "Heather";
repo = "Idris.Yaml";
rev = "5afa51ffc839844862b8316faba3bafa15656db4";
sha256 = "1g4pi0swmg214kndj85hj50ccmckni7piprsxfdzdfhg87s0avw7";
};
meta = {
description = "Idris YAML lib";
homepage = "https://github.com/Heather/Idris.Yaml";
license = lib.licenses.mit;
maintainers = [ lib.maintainers.brainrape ];
};
}
```
Assuming this file is saved as `yaml.nix`, it's buildable using
```
$ nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).idrisPackages.callPackage ./yaml.nix {}'
```
Or it's possible to use
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
{
yaml = idrisPackages.callPackage ./yaml.nix {};
}
```
in another file (say `default.nix`) to be able to build it with
```
$ nix-build -A yaml
```
## Passing options to `idris` commands
The `build-idris-package` function provides also optional input values to set additional options for the used `idris` commands.
Specifically, you can set `idrisBuildOptions`, `idrisTestOptions`, `idrisInstallOptions` and `idrisDocOptions` to provide additional options to the `idris` command respectively when building, testing, installing and generating docs for your package.
For example you could set
```
build-idris-package {
idrisBuildOptions = [ "--log" "1" "--verbose" ]
...
}
```
to require verbose output during `idris` build phase.

title: iOS
author: Sander van der Burg

# iOS
This component is basically a wrapper/workaround that makes it possible to
expose an Xcode installation as a Nix package by means of symlinking to the
relevant executables on the host system.
Since Xcode can't be packaged with Nix, nor we can publish it as a Nix package
(because of its license) this is basically the only integration strategy
making it possible to do iOS application builds that integrate with other
components of the Nix ecosystem
The primary objective of this project is to use the Nix expression language to
specify how iOS apps can be built from source code, and to automatically spawn
iOS simulator instances for testing.
This component also makes it possible to use [Hydra](https://nixos.org/hydra),
the Nix-based continuous integration server to regularly build iOS apps and to
do wireless ad-hoc installations of enterprise IPAs on iOS devices through
Hydra.
The Xcode build environment implements a number of features.
Deploying a proxy component wrapper exposing Xcode
--------------------------------------------------
The first use case is deploying a Nix package that provides symlinks to the Xcode
installation on the host system. This package can be used as a build input to
any build function implemented in the Nix expression language that requires
Xcode.
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcodeenv.composeXcodeWrapper {
version = "9.2";
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
By deploying the above expression with `nix-build` and inspecting its content
you will notice that several Xcode-related executables are exposed as a Nix
package:
```bash
$ ls result/bin
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 94 1 jan 1970 Simulator -> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Simulator
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 17 1 jan 1970 codesign -> /usr/bin/codesign
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 17 1 jan 1970 security -> /usr/bin/security
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 21 1 jan 1970 xcode-select -> /usr/bin/xcode-select
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 61 1 jan 1970 xcodebuild -> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild
lrwxr-xr-x 1 sander staff 14 1 jan 1970 xcrun -> /usr/bin/xcrun
```
Building an iOS application
---------------------------
We can build an iOS app executable for the simulator, or an IPA/xcarchive file
for release purposes, e.g. ad-hoc, enterprise or store installations, by
executing the `xcodeenv.buildApp {}` function:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcodeenv.buildApp {
name = "MyApp";
src = ./myappsources;
sdkVersion = "11.2";
target = null; # Corresponds to the name of the app by default
configuration = null; # Release for release builds, Debug for debug builds
scheme = null; # -scheme will correspond to the app name by default
sdk = null; # null will set it to 'iphonesimulator` for simulator builds or `iphoneos` to real builds
xcodeFlags = "";
release = true;
certificateFile = ./mycertificate.p12;
certificatePassword = "secret";
provisioningProfile = ./myprovisioning.profile;
signMethod = "ad-hoc"; # 'enterprise' or 'store'
generateIPA = true;
generateXCArchive = false;
enableWirelessDistribution = true;
installURL = "/installipa.php";
bundleId = "mycompany.myapp";
appVersion = "1.0";
# Supports all xcodewrapper parameters as well
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
The above function takes a variety of parameters:
* The `name` and `src` parameters are mandatory and specify the name of the app
and the location where the source code resides
* `sdkVersion` specifies which version of the iOS SDK to use.
It also possile to adjust the `xcodebuild` parameters. This is only needed in
rare circumstances. In most cases the default values should suffice:
* Specifies which `xcodebuild` target to build. By default it takes the target
that has the same name as the app.
* The `configuration` parameter can be overridden if desired. By default, it
will do a debug build for the simulator and a release build for real devices.
* The `scheme` parameter specifies which `-scheme` parameter to propagate to
`xcodebuild`. By default, it corresponds to the app name.
* The `sdk` parameter specifies which SDK to use. By default, it picks
`iphonesimulator` for simulator builds and `iphoneos` for release builds.
* The `xcodeFlags` parameter specifies arbitrary command line parameters that
should be propagated to `xcodebuild`.
By default, builds are carried out for the iOS simulator. To do release builds
(builds for real iOS devices), you must set the `release` parameter to `true`.
In addition, you need to set the following parameters:
* `certificateFile` refers to a P12 certificate file.
* `certificatePassword` specifies the password of the P12 certificate.
* `provisioningProfile` refers to the provision profile needed to sign the app
* `signMethod` should refer to `ad-hoc` for signing the app with an ad-hoc
certificate, `enterprise` for enterprise certificates and `app-store` for App
store certificates.
* `generateIPA` specifies that we want to produce an IPA file (this is probably
what you want)
* `generateXCArchive` specifies thet we want to produce an xcarchive file.
When building IPA files on Hydra and when it is desired to allow iOS devices to
install IPAs by browsing to the Hydra build products page, you can enable the
`enableWirelessDistribution` parameter.
When enabled, you need to configure the following options:
* The `installURL` parameter refers to the URL of a PHP script that composes the
`itms-services://` URL allowing iOS devices to install the IPA file.
* `bundleId` refers to the bundle ID value of the app
* `appVersion` refers to the app's version number
To use wireless adhoc distributions, you must also install the corresponding
PHP script on a web server (see section: 'Installing the PHP script for wireless
ad hoc installations from Hydra' for more information).
In addition to the build parameters, you can also specify any parameters that
the `xcodeenv.composeXcodeWrapper {}` function takes. For example, the
`xcodeBaseDir` parameter can be overridden to refer to a different Xcode
version.
Spawning simulator instances
----------------------------
In addition to building iOS apps, we can also automatically spawn simulator
instances:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcode.simulateApp {
name = "simulate";
# Supports all xcodewrapper parameters as well
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
The above expression produces a script that starts the simulator from the
provided Xcode installation. The script can be started as follows:
```bash
./result/bin/run-test-simulator
```
By default, the script will show an overview of UDID for all available simulator
instances and asks you to pick one. You can also provide a UDID as a
command-line parameter to launch an instance automatically:
```bash
./result/bin/run-test-simulator 5C93129D-CF39-4B1A-955F-15180C3BD4B8
```
You can also extend the simulator script to automatically deploy and launch an
app in the requested simulator instance:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
xcodeenv = import ./xcodeenv {
inherit (pkgs) stdenv;
};
in
xcode.simulateApp {
name = "simulate";
bundleId = "mycompany.myapp";
app = xcode.buildApp {
# ...
};
# Supports all xcodewrapper parameters as well
xcodeBaseDir = "/Applications/Xcode.app";
}
```
By providing the result of an `xcode.buildApp {}` function and configuring the
app bundle id, the app gets deployed automatically and started.
Troubleshooting
---------------
In some rare cases, it may happen that after a failure, changes are not picked
up. Most likely, this is caused by a derived data cache that Xcode maintains.
To wipe it you can run:
```bash
$ rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
```

title: Lua
author: Matthieu Coudron
date: 2019-02-05

# User's Guide to Lua Infrastructure
## Using Lua
### Overview of Lua
Several versions of the Lua interpreter are available: luajit, lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3.
The attribute `lua` refers to the default interpreter, it is also possible to refer to specific versions, e.g. `lua5_2` refers to Lua 5.2.
Lua libraries are in separate sets, with one set per interpreter version.
The interpreters have several common attributes. One of these attributes is
`pkgs`, which is a package set of Lua libraries for this specific
interpreter. E.g., the `busted` package corresponding to the default interpreter
is `lua.pkgs.busted`, and the lua 5.2 version is `lua5_2.pkgs.busted`.
The main package set contains aliases to these package sets, e.g.
`luaPackages` refers to `lua5_1.pkgs` and `lua52Packages` to
`lua5_2.pkgs`.
### Installing Lua and packages
#### Lua environment defined in separate `.nix` file
Create a file, e.g. `build.nix`, with the following expression
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
lua5_2.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ busted luafilesystem ])
```
and install it in your profile with
```shell
nix-env -if build.nix
```
Now you can use the Lua interpreter, as well as the extra packages (`busted`,
`luafilesystem`) that you added to the environment.
#### Lua environment defined in `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix`
If you prefer to, you could also add the environment as a package override to the Nixpkgs set, e.g.
using `config.nix`,
```nix
{ # ...
packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
myLuaEnv = lua5_2.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ busted luafilesystem ]);
};
}
```
and install it in your profile with
```shell
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.myLuaEnv
```
The environment is is installed by referring to the attribute, and considering
the `nixpkgs` channel was used.
#### Lua environment defined in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`
For the sake of completeness, here's another example how to install the environment system-wide.
```nix
{ # ...
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
(lua.withPackages(ps: with ps; [ busted luafilesystem ]))
];
}
```
### How to override a Lua package using overlays?
Use the following overlay template:
```nix
final: prev:
{
lua = prev.lua.override {
packageOverrides = luaself: luaprev: {
luarocks-nix = luaprev.luarocks-nix.overrideAttrs(oa: {
pname = "luarocks-nix";
src = /home/my_luarocks/repository;
});
};
luaPackages = lua.pkgs;
}
```
### Temporary Lua environment with `nix-shell`
There are two methods for loading a shell with Lua packages. The first and recommended method
is to create an environment with `lua.buildEnv` or `lua.withPackages` and load that. E.g.
```sh
$ nix-shell -p 'lua.withPackages(ps: with ps; [ busted luafilesystem ])'
```
opens a shell from which you can launch the interpreter
```sh
[nix-shell:~] lua
```
The other method, which is not recommended, does not create an environment and requires you to list the packages directly,
```sh
$ nix-shell -p lua.pkgs.busted lua.pkgs.luafilesystem
```
Again, it is possible to launch the interpreter from the shell.
The Lua interpreter has the attribute `pkgs` which contains all Lua libraries for that specific interpreter.
## Developing with Lua
Now that you know how to get a working Lua environment with Nix, it is time
to go forward and start actually developing with Lua. There are two ways to
package lua software, either it is on luarocks and most of it can be taken care
of by the luarocks2nix converter or the packaging has to be done manually.
Let's present the luarocks way first and the manual one in a second time.
### Packaging a library on luarocks
[Luarocks.org](www.luarocks.org) is the main repository of lua packages.
The site proposes two types of packages, the rockspec and the src.rock
(equivalent of a [rockspec](https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Rockspec-format) but with the source).
These packages can have different build types such as `cmake`, `builtin` etc .
Luarocks-based packages are generated in pkgs/development/lua-modules/generated-packages.nix from
the whitelist maintainers/scripts/luarocks-packages.csv and updated by running maintainers/scripts/update-luarocks-packages.
[luarocks2nix](https://github.com/nix-community/luarocks) is a tool capable of generating nix derivations from both rockspec and src.rock (and favors the src.rock).
The automation only goes so far though and some packages need to be customized.
These customizations go in `pkgs/development/lua-modules/overrides.nix`.
For instance if the rockspec defines `external_dependencies`, these need to be manually added in in its rockspec file then it won't work.
You can try converting luarocks packages to nix packages with the command `nix-shell -p luarocks-nix` and then `luarocks nix PKG_NAME`.
Nix rely on luarocks to install lua packages, basically it runs:
`luarocks make --deps-mode=none --tree $out`
#### Packaging a library manually
You can develop your package as you usually would, just don't forget to wrap it
within a `toLuaModule` call, for instance
```nix
mynewlib = toLuaModule ( stdenv.mkDerivation { ... });
```
There is also the `buildLuaPackage` function that can be used when lua modules
are not packaged for luarocks. You can see a few examples at `pkgs/top-level/lua-packages.nix`.
## Lua Reference
### Lua interpreters
Versions 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the lua interpreter are available as
respectively `lua5_1`, `lua5_2` and `lua5_3`. Luajit is available too.
The Nix expressions for the interpreters can be found in `pkgs/development/interpreters/lua-5`.
#### Attributes on lua interpreters packages
Each interpreter has the following attributes:
- `interpreter`. Alias for `${pkgs.lua}/bin/lua`.
- `buildEnv`. Function to build lua interpreter environments with extra packages bundled together. See section *lua.buildEnv function* for usage and documentation.
- `withPackages`. Simpler interface to `buildEnv`.
- `pkgs`. Set of Lua packages for that specific interpreter. The package set can be modified by overriding the interpreter and passing `packageOverrides`.
#### `buildLuarocksPackage` function
The `buildLuarocksPackage` function is implemented in `pkgs/development/interpreters/lua-5/build-lua-package.nix`
The following is an example:
```nix
luaposix = buildLuarocksPackage {
pname = "luaposix";
version = "34.0.4-1";
src = fetchurl {
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rocks-moonscript-org/moonrocks-mirror/master/luaposix-34.0.4-1.src.rock";
sha256 = "0yrm5cn2iyd0zjd4liyj27srphvy0gjrjx572swar6zqr4dwjqp2";
};
disabled = (luaOlder "5.1") || (luaAtLeast "5.4");
propagatedBuildInputs = [ bit32 lua std_normalize ];
meta = with stdenv.lib; {
homepage = "https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix/";
description = "Lua bindings for POSIX";
maintainers = with maintainers; [ vyp lblasc ];
license.fullName = "MIT/X11";
};
};
```
The `buildLuarocksPackage` delegates most tasks to luarocks:
* it adds `luarocks` as an unpacker for `src.rock` files (zip files really).
* configurePhase` writes a temporary luarocks configuration file which location
is exported via the environment variable `LUAROCKS_CONFIG`.
* the `buildPhase` does nothing.
* `installPhase` calls `luarocks make --deps-mode=none --tree $out` to build and
install the package
* In the `postFixup` phase, the `wrapLuaPrograms` bash function is called to
wrap all programs in the `$out/bin/*` directory to include `$PATH`
environment variable and add dependent libraries to script's `LUA_PATH` and
`LUA_CPATH`.
By default `meta.platforms` is set to the same value as the interpreter unless overridden otherwise.
#### `buildLuaApplication` function
The `buildLuaApplication` function is practically the same as `buildLuaPackage`.
The difference is that `buildLuaPackage` by default prefixes the names of the packages with the version of the interpreter.
Because with an application we're not interested in multiple version the prefix is dropped.
#### lua.withPackages function
The `lua.withPackages` takes a function as an argument that is passed the set of lua packages and returns the list of packages to be included in the environment.
Using the `withPackages` function, the previous example for the luafilesystem environment can be written like this:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
lua.withPackages (ps: [ps.luafilesystem])
```
`withPackages` passes the correct package set for the specific interpreter version as an argument to the function. In the above example, `ps` equals `luaPackages`.
But you can also easily switch to using `lua5_2`:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
lua5_2.withPackages (ps: [ps.lua])
```
Now, `ps` is set to `lua52Packages`, matching the version of the interpreter.
### Possible Todos
* export/use version specific variables such as `LUA_PATH_5_2`/`LUAROCKS_CONFIG_5_2`
* let luarocks check for dependencies via exporting the different rocktrees in temporary config
### Lua Contributing guidelines
Following rules should be respected:
* Make sure libraries build for all Lua interpreters.
* Commit names of Lua libraries should reflect that they are Lua libraries, so write for example `luaPackages.luafilesystem: 1.11 -> 1.12`.

Node.js
=======
The `pkgs/development/node-packages` folder contains a generated collection of
[NPM packages](https://npmjs.com/) that can be installed with the Nix package
manager.
As a rule of thumb, the package set should only provide *end user* software
packages, such as command-line utilities. Libraries should only be added to the
package set if there is a non-NPM package that requires it.
When it is desired to use NPM libraries in a development project, use the
`node2nix` generator directly on the `package.json` configuration file of the
project.
The package set provides support for the official stable Node.js versions.
The latest stable LTS release in `nodePackages`, as well as the latest stable
Current release in `nodePackages_latest`.
If your package uses native addons, you need to examine what kind of native
build system it uses. Here are some examples:
* `node-gyp`
* `node-gyp-builder`
* `node-pre-gyp`
After you have identified the correct system, you need to override your package
expression while adding in build system as a build input. For example, `dat`
requires `node-gyp-build`, so [we override](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/32f5e5da4a1b3f0595527f5195ac3a91451e9b56/pkgs/development/node-packages/default.nix#L37-L40) its expression in [`default.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/node-packages/default.nix):
```nix
dat = super.dat.override {
buildInputs = [ self.node-gyp-build pkgs.libtool pkgs.autoconf pkgs.automake ];
meta.broken = since "12";
};
```
To add a package from NPM to nixpkgs:
1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages.json` to add, update
or remove package entries to have it included in `nodePackages` and
`nodePackages_latest`.
2. Run the script: `(cd pkgs/development/node-packages && ./generate.sh)`.
3. Build your new package to test your changes:
`cd /path/to/nixpkgs && nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`.
To build against the latest stable Current Node.js version (e.g. 14.x):
`nix-build -A nodePackages_latest.<new-or-updated-package>`
4. Add and commit all modified and generated files.
For more information about the generation process, consult the
[README.md](https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix) file of the `node2nix`
tool.

OCaml libraries should be installed in <literal>$(out)/lib/ocaml/${ocaml.version}/site-lib/</literal>. Such directories are automatically added to the <literal>$OCAMLPATH</literal> environment variable when building another package that depends on them or when opening a <literal>nix-shell</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Given that most of the OCaml ecosystem is now built with dune, nixpkgs includes a convenience build support function called <literal>buildDunePackage</literal> that will build an OCaml package using dune, OCaml and findlib and any additional dependencies provided as <literal>buildInputs</literal> or <literal>propagatedBuildInputs</literal>.
</para>
<para>
Here is a simple package example. It defines an (optional) attribute <literal>minimumOCamlVersion</literal> that will be used to throw a descriptive evaluation error if building with an older OCaml is attempted. It uses the <literal>fetchFromGitHub</literal> fetcher to get its source. It sets the <literal>doCheck</literal> (optional) attribute to <literal>true</literal> which means that tests will be run with <literal>dune runtest -p angstrom</literal> after the build (<literal>dune build -p angstrom</literal>) is complete. It uses <literal>alcotest</literal> as a build input (because it is needed to run the tests) and <literal>bigstringaf</literal> and <literal>result</literal> as propagated build inputs (thus they will also be available to libraries depending on this library). The library will be installed using the <literal>angstrom.install</literal> file that dune generates.

<para>
When executing a Perl script, it is possible you get an error such as <literal>./myscript.pl: bad interpreter: /usr/bin/perl: no such file or directory</literal>. This happens when the script expects Perl to be installed at <filename>/usr/bin/perl</filename>, which is not the case when using Perl from nixpkgs. You can fix the script by changing the first line to:
<programlisting>
#!/usr/bin/env perl
</programlisting>
to take the Perl installation from the <literal>PATH</literal> environment variable, or invoke Perl directly with:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>perl ./myscript.pl
</screen>
</para>
<para>
When the script is using a Perl library that is not installed globally, you might get an error such as <literal>Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (you may need to install the DB_File module)</literal>. In that case, you can use <command>nix-shell</command> to start an ad-hoc shell with that library installed, for instance:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-shell -p perl perlPackages.DBFile --run ./myscript.pl
</screen>
</para>
<para>
If you are always using the script in places where <command>nix-shell</command> is available, you can embed the <command>nix-shell</command> invocation in the shebang like this:

<para>
Nixpkgs provides a function <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname>, a generic package builder function for any Perl package that has a standard <varname>Makefile.PL</varname>. Its implemented in <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/perl-modules/generic"><filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules/generic</filename></link>.
</para>
<para>
Perl packages from CPAN are defined in <link
xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix"><filename>pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix</filename></link>, rather than <filename>pkgs/all-packages.nix</filename>. Most Perl packages are so straight-forward to build that they are defined here directly, rather than having a separate function for each package called from <filename>perl-packages.nix</filename>. However, more complicated packages should be put in a separate file, typically in <filename>pkgs/development/perl-modules</filename>. Here is an example of the former:
<programlisting>
ClassC3 = buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "Class-C3-0.21";
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/F/FL/FLORA/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "1bl8z095y4js66pwxnm7s853pi9czala4sqc743fdlnk27kq94gz";
};
};
</programlisting>
Note the use of <literal>mirror://cpan/</literal>, and the <literal>${name}</literal> in the URL definition to ensure that the name attribute is consistent with the source that were actually downloading. Perl packages are made available in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename> through the variable <varname>perlPackages</varname>. For instance, if you have a package that needs <varname>ClassC3</varname>, you would typically write
<programlisting>
foo = import ../path/to/foo.nix {
inherit stdenv fetchurl ...;
inherit (perlPackages) ClassC3;
};
</programlisting>
in <filename>all-packages.nix</filename>. You can test building a Perl package as follows:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build -A perlPackages.ClassC3
</screen>
<varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> adds <literal>perl-</literal> to the start of the name attribute, so the package above is actually called <literal>perl-Class-C3-0.21</literal>. So to install it, you can say:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -i perl-Class-C3
</screen>
(Of course you can also install using the attribute name: <literal>nix-env -i -A perlPackages.ClassC3</literal>.)
</para>
<para>
So what does <varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> do? It does the following:
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
In the configure phase, it calls <literal>perl Makefile.PL</literal> to generate a Makefile. You can set the variable <varname>makeMakerFlags</varname> to pass flags to <filename>Makefile.PL</filename>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
It adds the contents of the <envar>PERL5LIB</envar> environment variable to <literal>#! .../bin/perl</literal> line of Perl scripts as <literal>-I<replaceable>dir</replaceable></literal> flags. This ensures that a script can find its dependencies. (This can cause this shebang line to become too long for Darwin to handle; see the note below.)
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
In the fixup phase, it writes the propagated build inputs (<varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>) to the file <filename>$out/nix-support/propagated-user-env-packages</filename>. <command>nix-env</command> recursively installs all packages listed in this file when you install a package that has it. This ensures that a Perl package can find its dependencies.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
<para>
<varname>buildPerlPackage</varname> is built on top of <varname>stdenv</varname>, so everything can be customised in the usual way. For instance, the <literal>BerkeleyDB</literal> module has a <varname>preConfigure</varname> hook to generate a configuration file used by <filename>Makefile.PL</filename>:
<programlisting>
{ buildPerlPackage, fetchurl, db }:
buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "BerkeleyDB-0.36";
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "07xf50riarb60l1h6m2dqmql8q5dij619712fsgw7ach04d8g3z1";
};
preConfigure = ''
echo "LIB = ${db.out}/lib" > config.in
echo "INCLUDE = ${db.dev}/include" >> config.in
'';
}
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Dependencies on other Perl packages can be specified in the <varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname> attributes. If something is exclusively a build-time dependency, use <varname>buildInputs</varname>; if its (also) a runtime dependency, use <varname>propagatedBuildInputs</varname>. For instance, this builds a Perl module that has runtime dependencies on a bunch of other modules:
<programlisting>
ClassC3Componentised = buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "Class-C3-Componentised-1.0004";
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/A/AS/ASH/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "0xql73jkcdbq4q9m0b0rnca6nrlvf5hyzy8is0crdk65bynvs8q1";
};
propagatedBuildInputs = [
ClassC3 ClassInspector TestException MROCompat
];
};
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
On Darwin, if a script has too many <literal>-I<replaceable>dir</replaceable></literal> flags in its first line (its “shebang line”), it will not run. This can be worked around by calling the <literal>shortenPerlShebang</literal> function from the <literal>postInstall</literal> phase:
<programlisting>
{ stdenv, buildPerlPackage, fetchurl, shortenPerlShebang }:
ImageExifTool = buildPerlPackage {
pname = "Image-ExifTool";
version = "11.50";
src = fetchurl {
url = "https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/Image-ExifTool-11.50.tar.gz";
sha256 = "0d8v48y94z8maxkmw1rv7v9m0jg2dc8xbp581njb6yhr7abwqdv3";
};
buildInputs = stdenv.lib.optional stdenv.isDarwin shortenPerlShebang;
postInstall = stdenv.lib.optional stdenv.isDarwin ''
shortenPerlShebang $out/bin/exiftool
'';
};
</programlisting>
This will remove the <literal>-I</literal> flags from the shebang line, rewrite them in the <literal>use lib</literal> form, and put them on the next line instead. This function can be given any number of Perl scripts as arguments; it will modify them in-place.
</para>
<section xml:id="ssec-generation-from-CPAN">
<title>Generation from CPAN</title>
<para>
Nix expressions for Perl packages can be generated (almost) automatically from CPAN. This is done by the program <command>nix-generate-from-cpan</command>, which can be installed as follows:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-env -i nix-generate-from-cpan
</screen>
<para>
This program takes a Perl module name, looks it up on CPAN, fetches and unpacks the corresponding package, and prints a Nix expression on standard output. For example:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-generate-from-cpan XML::Simple
XMLSimple = buildPerlPackage rec {
name = "XML-Simple-2.22";
src = fetchurl {
url = "mirror://cpan/authors/id/G/GR/GRANTM/${name}.tar.gz";
sha256 = "b9450ef22ea9644ae5d6ada086dc4300fa105be050a2030ebd4efd28c198eb49";

meta = {
description = "An API for simple XML files";
license = with stdenv.lib.licenses; [ artistic1 gpl1Plus ];

Nixpkgs has experimental support for cross-compiling Perl modules. In many cases, it will just work out of the box, even for modules with native extensions. Sometimes, however, the Makefile.PL for a module may (indirectly) import a native module. In that case, you will need to make a stub for that module that will satisfy the Makefile.PL and install it into <filename>lib/perl5/site_perl/cross_perl/${perl.version}</filename>.

# PHP {#sec-php}
## User Guide {#ssec-php-user-guide}
### Overview {#ssec-php-user-guide-overview}
Several versions of PHP are available on Nix, each of which having a
wide variety of extensions and libraries available.
The different versions of PHP that nixpkgs provides are located under
attributes named based on major and minor version number; e.g.,
`php74` is PHP 7.4.
Only versions of PHP that are supported by upstream for the entirety
of a given NixOS release will be included in that release of
NixOS. See [PHP Supported
Versions](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php).
The attribute `php` refers to the version of PHP considered most
stable and thoroughly tested in nixpkgs for any given release of
NixOS - not necessarily the latest major release from upstream.
All available PHP attributes are wrappers around their respective
binary PHP package and provide commonly used extensions this way. The
real PHP 7.4 package, i.e. the unwrapped one, is available as
`php74.unwrapped`; see the next section for more details.
Interactive tools built on PHP are put in `php.packages`; composer is
for example available at `php.packages.composer`.
Most extensions that come with PHP, as well as some popular
third-party ones, are available in `php.extensions`; for example, the
opcache extension shipped with PHP is available at
`php.extensions.opcache` and the third-party ImageMagick extension at
`php.extensions.imagick`.
### Installing PHP with extensions {#ssec-php-user-guide-installing-with-extensions}
A PHP package with specific extensions enabled can be built using
`php.withExtensions`. This is a function which accepts an anonymous
function as its only argument; the function should accept two named
parameters: `enabled` - a list of currently enabled extensions and
`all` - the set of all extensions, and return a list of wanted
extensions. For example, a PHP package with all default extensions and
ImageMagick enabled:
```nix
php.withExtensions ({ enabled, all }:
enabled ++ [ all.imagick ])
```
To exclude some, but not all, of the default extensions, you can
filter the `enabled` list like this:
```nix
php.withExtensions ({ enabled, all }:
(lib.filter (e: e != php.extensions.opcache) enabled)
++ [ all.imagick ])
```
To build your list of extensions from the ground up, you can simply
ignore `enabled`:
```nix
php.withExtensions ({ all, ... }: with all; [ imagick opcache ])
```
`php.withExtensions` provides extensions by wrapping a minimal php
base package, providing a `php.ini` file listing all extensions to be
loaded. You can access this package through the `php.unwrapped`
attribute; useful if you, for example, need access to the `dev`
output. The generated `php.ini` file can be accessed through the
`php.phpIni` attribute.
If you want a PHP build with extra configuration in the `php.ini`
file, you can use `php.buildEnv`. This function takes two named and
optional parameters: `extensions` and `extraConfig`. `extensions`
takes an extension specification equivalent to that of
`php.withExtensions`, `extraConfig` a string of additional `php.ini`
configuration parameters. For example, a PHP package with the opcache
and ImageMagick extensions enabled, and `memory_limit` set to `256M`:
```nix
php.buildEnv {
extensions = { all, ... }: with all; [ imagick opcache ];
extraConfig = "memory_limit=256M";
}
```
#### Example setup for `phpfpm` {#ssec-php-user-guide-installing-with-extensions-phpfpm}
You can use the previous examples in a `phpfpm` pool called `foo` as
follows:
```nix
let
myPhp = php.withExtensions ({ all, ... }: with all; [ imagick opcache ]);
in {
services.phpfpm.pools."foo".phpPackage = myPhp;
};
```
```nix
let
myPhp = php.buildEnv {
extensions = { all, ... }: with all; [ imagick opcache ];
extraConfig = "memory_limit=256M";
};
in {
services.phpfpm.pools."foo".phpPackage = myPhp;
};
```
#### Example usage with `nix-shell` {#ssec-php-user-guide-installing-with-extensions-nix-shell}
This brings up a temporary environment that contains a PHP interpreter
with the extensions `imagick` and `opcache` enabled:
```sh
nix-shell -p 'php.withExtensions ({ all, ... }: with all; [ imagick opcache ])'
```
### Installing PHP packages with extensions {#ssec-php-user-guide-installing-packages-with-extensions}
All interactive tools use the PHP package you get them from, so all
packages at `php.packages.*` use the `php` package with its default
extensions. Sometimes this default set of extensions isn't enough and
you may want to extend it. A common case of this is the `composer`
package: a project may depend on certain extensions and `composer`
won't work with that project unless those extensions are loaded.
Example of building `composer` with additional extensions:
```nix
(php.withExtensions ({ all, enabled }:
enabled ++ (with all; [ imagick redis ]))
).packages.composer
```

## Installation
Define an environment for R that contains all the libraries that you'd like to
use by adding the following snippet to your $HOME/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix file:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
rEnv = super.rWrapper.override {
packages = with self.rPackages; [
devtools
ggplot2
reshape2
yaml
optparse
];
};
};
}
```
Then you can use `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rEnv` to install it into your user
profile. The set of available libraries can be discovered by running the
command `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -qaP -A rPackages`. The first column from that
output is the name that has to be passed to rWrapper in the code snipped above.
However, if you'd like to add a file to your project source to make the
environment available for other contributors, you can create a `default.nix`
file like so:
```nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
in with pkgs; {
myProject = stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "myProject";
version = "1";
src = if pkgs.lib.inNixShell then null else nix;
buildInputs = with rPackages; [
R
ggplot2
knitr
];
};
}
```
and then run `nix-shell .` to be dropped into a shell with those packages
available.
## RStudio
RStudio uses a standard set of packages and ignores any custom R
environments or installed packages you may have. To create a custom
environment, see `rstudioWrapper`, which functions similarly to
`rWrapper`:
```nix
{
packageOverrides = super: let self = super.pkgs; in
{
rstudioEnv = super.rstudioWrapper.override {
packages = with self.rPackages; [
dplyr
ggplot2
reshape2
];
};
};
}
```
Then like above, `nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA rstudioEnv` will install
this into your user profile.
Alternatively, you can create a self-contained `shell.nix` without the need to
modify any configuration files:
```nix
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}
}:
pkgs.rstudioWrapper.override {
packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ dplyr ggplot2 reshape2 ];
}
```
Executing `nix-shell` will then drop you into an environment equivalent to the
one above. If you need additional packages just add them to the list and
re-enter the shell.
## Updating the package set
```bash
nix-shell generate-shell.nix
Rscript generate-r-packages.R cran > cran-packages.nix.new
mv cran-packages.nix.new cran-packages.nix
Rscript generate-r-packages.R bioc > bioc-packages.nix.new
mv bioc-packages.nix.new bioc-packages.nix
```
`generate-r-packages.R <repo>` reads `<repo>-packages.nix`, therefor the renaming.
## Testing if the Nix-expression could be evaluated
```bash
nix-build test-evaluation.nix --dry-run
```
If this exits fine, the expression is ok. If not, you have to edit `default.nix`

# Ruby
## User Guide
### Using Ruby
#### Overview
Several versions of Ruby interpreters are available on Nix, as well as over 250 gems and many applications written in Ruby.
The attribute `ruby` refers to the default Ruby interpreter, which is currently
MRI 2.5. It's also possible to refer to specific versions, e.g. `ruby_2_6`, `jruby`, or `mruby`.
In the nixpkgs tree, Ruby packages can be found throughout, depending on what
they do, and are called from the main package set. Ruby gems, however are
separate sets, and there's one default set for each interpreter (currently MRI
only).
There are two main approaches for using Ruby with gems.
One is to use a specifically locked `Gemfile` for an application that has very strict dependencies.
The other is to depend on the common gems, which we'll explain further down, and
rely on them being updated regularly.
The interpreters have common attributes, namely `gems`, and `withPackages`. So
you can refer to `ruby.gems.nokogiri`, or `ruby_2_5.gems.nokogiri` to get the
Nokogiri gem already compiled and ready to use.
Since not all gems have executables like `nokogiri`, it's usually more
convenient to use the `withPackages` function like this:
`ruby.withPackages (p: with p; [ nokogiri ])`. This will also make sure that the
Ruby in your environment will be able to find the gem and it can be used in your
Ruby code (for example via `ruby` or `irb` executables) via `require "nokogiri"`
as usual.
#### Temporary Ruby environment with `nix-shell`
Rather than having a single Ruby environment shared by all Ruby
development projects on a system, Nix allows you to create separate
environments per project. `nix-shell` gives you the possibility to
temporarily load another environment akin to a combined `chruby` or
`rvm` and `bundle exec`.
There are two methods for loading a shell with Ruby packages. The first and
recommended method is to create an environment with `ruby.withPackages` and load
that.
```shell
nix-shell -p "ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ nokogiri pry ])"
```
The other method, which is not recommended, is to create an environment and list
all the packages directly.
```shell
nix-shell -p ruby.gems.nokogiri ruby.gems.pry
```
Again, it's possible to launch the interpreter from the shell. The Ruby
interpreter has the attribute `gems` which contains all Ruby gems for that
specific interpreter.
##### Load environment from `.nix` expression
As explained in the Nix manual, `nix-shell` can also load an expression from a
`.nix` file. Say we want to have Ruby 2.5, `nokogori`, and `pry`. Consider a
`shell.nix` file with:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ nokogiri pry ])
```
What's happening here?
1. We begin with importing the Nix Packages collections. `import <nixpkgs>`
imports the `<nixpkgs>` function, `{}` calls it and the `with` statement
brings all attributes of `nixpkgs` in the local scope. These attributes form
the main package set.
2. Then we create a Ruby environment with the `withPackages` function.
3. The `withPackages` function expects us to provide a function as an argument
that takes the set of all ruby gems and returns a list of packages to include
in the environment. Here, we select the packages `nokogiri` and `pry` from
the package set.
##### Execute command with `--run`
A convenient flag for `nix-shell` is `--run`. It executes a command in the
`nix-shell`. We can e.g. directly open a `pry` REPL:
```shell
nix-shell -p "ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ nokogiri pry ])" --run "pry"
```
Or immediately require `nokogiri` in pry:
```shell
nix-shell -p "ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ nokogiri pry ])" --run "pry -rnokogiri"
```
Or run a script using this environment:
```shell
nix-shell -p "ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ nokogiri pry ])" --run "ruby example.rb"
```
##### Using `nix-shell` as shebang
In fact, for the last case, there is a more convenient method. You can add a
[shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)) to your script
specifying which dependencies `nix-shell` needs. With the following shebang, you
can just execute `./example.rb`, and it will run with all dependencies.
```ruby
#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
#! nix-shell -i ruby -p "ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ nokogiri rest-client ])"
require 'nokogiri'
require 'rest-client'
body = RestClient.get('http://example.com').body
puts Nokogiri::HTML(body).at('h1').text
```
### Developing with Ruby
#### Using an existing Gemfile
In most cases, you'll already have a `Gemfile.lock` listing all your dependencies.
This can be used to generate a `gemset.nix` which is used to fetch the gems and
combine them into a single environment.
The reason why you need to have a separate file for this, is that Nix requires
you to have a checksum for each input to your build.
Since the `Gemfile.lock` that `bundler` generates doesn't provide us with
checksums, we have to first download each gem, calculate its SHA256, and store
it in this separate file.
So the steps from having just a `Gemfile` to a `gemset.nix` are:
```shell
bundle lock
bundix
```
If you already have a `Gemfile.lock`, you can simply run `bundix` and it will
work the same.
To update the gems in your `Gemfile.lock`, you may use the `bundix -l` flag,
which will create a new `Gemfile.lock` in case the `Gemfile` has a more recent
time of modification.
Once the `gemset.nix` is generated, it can be used in a
`bundlerEnv` derivation. Here is an example you could use for your `shell.nix`:
```nix
# ...
let
gems = bundlerEnv {
name = "gems-for-some-project";
gemdir = ./.;
};
in mkShell { buildInputs = [ gems gems.wrappedRuby ]; }
```
With this file in your directory, you can run `nix-shell` to build and use the gems.
The important parts here are `bundlerEnv` and `wrappedRuby`.
The `bundlerEnv` is a wrapper over all the gems in your gemset. This means that
all the `/lib` and `/bin` directories will be available, and the executables of
all gems (even of indirect dependencies) will end up in your `$PATH`.
The `wrappedRuby` provides you with all executables that come with Ruby itself,
but wrapped so they can easily find the gems in your gemset.
One common issue that you might have is that you have Ruby 2.6, but also
`bundler` in your gemset. That leads to a conflict for `/bin/bundle` and
`/bin/bundler`. You can resolve this by wrapping either your Ruby or your gems
in a `lowPrio` call. So in order to give the `bundler` from your gemset
priority, it would be used like this:
```nix
# ...
mkShell { buildInputs = [ gems (lowPrio gems.wrappedRuby) ]; }
```
#### Gem-specific configurations and workarounds
In some cases, especially if the gem has native extensions, you might need to
modify the way the gem is built.
This is done via a common configuration file that includes all of the
workarounds for each gem.
This file lives at `/pkgs/development/ruby-modules/gem-config/default.nix`,
since it already contains a lot of entries, it should be pretty easy to add the
modifications you need for your needs.
In the meanwhile, or if the modification is for a private gem, you can also add
the configuration to only your own environment.
Two places that allow this modification are the `ruby` derivation, or `bundlerEnv`.
Here's the `ruby` one:
```nix
{ pg_version ? "10", pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
let
myRuby = pkgs.ruby.override {
defaultGemConfig = pkgs.defaultGemConfig // {
pg = attrs: {
buildFlags =
[ "--with-pg-config=${pkgs."postgresql_${pg_version}"}/bin/pg_config" ];
};
};
};
in myRuby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pg ])
```
And an example with `bundlerEnv`:
```nix
{ pg_version ? "10", pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { } }:
let
gems = pkgs.bundlerEnv {
name = "gems-for-some-project";
gemdir = ./.;
gemConfig = pkgs.defaultGemConfig // {
pg = attrs: {
buildFlags =
[ "--with-pg-config=${pkgs."postgresql_${pg_version}"}/bin/pg_config" ];
};
};
};
in mkShell { buildInputs = [ gems gems.wrappedRuby ]; }
```
And finally via overlays:
```nix
{ pg_version ? "10" }:
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {
overlays = [
(self: super: {
defaultGemConfig = super.defaultGemConfig // {
pg = attrs: {
buildFlags = [
"--with-pg-config=${
pkgs."postgresql_${pg_version}"
}/bin/pg_config"
];
};
};
})
];
};
in pkgs.ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ pg ])
```
Then we can get whichever postgresql version we desire and the `pg` gem will
always reference it correctly:
```shell
$ nix-shell --argstr pg_version 9_4 --run 'ruby -rpg -e "puts PG.library_version"'
90421
$ nix-shell --run 'ruby -rpg -e "puts PG.library_version"'
100007
```
Of course for this use-case one could also use overlays since the configuration
for `pg` depends on the `postgresql` alias, but for demonstration purposes this
has to suffice.
#### Adding a gem to the default gemset
Now that you know how to get a working Ruby environment with Nix, it's time to
go forward and start actually developing with Ruby.
We will first have a look at how Ruby gems are packaged on Nix. Then, we will
look at how you can use development mode with your code.
All gems in the standard set are automatically generated from a single
`Gemfile`. The dependency resolution is done with `bundler` and makes it more
likely that all gems are compatible to each other.
In order to add a new gem to nixpkgs, you can put it into the
`/pkgs/development/ruby-modules/with-packages/Gemfile` and run
`./maintainers/scripts/update-ruby-packages`.
To test that it works, you can then try using the gem with:
```shell
NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=$PWD nix-shell -p "ruby.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ name-of-your-gem ])"
```
#### Packaging applications
A common task is to add a ruby executable to nixpkgs, popular examples would be
`chef`, `jekyll`, or `sass`. A good way to do that is to use the `bundlerApp`
function, that allows you to make a package that only exposes the listed
executables, otherwise the package may cause conflicts through common paths like
`bin/rake` or `bin/bundler` that aren't meant to be used.
The absolute easiest way to do that is to write a
`Gemfile` along these lines:
```ruby
source 'https://rubygems.org' do
gem 'mdl'
end
```
If you want to package a specific version, you can use the standard Gemfile
syntax for that, e.g. `gem 'mdl', '0.5.0'`, but if you want the latest stable
version anyway, it's easier to update by simply running the `bundle lock` and
`bundix` steps again.
Now you can also also make a `default.nix` that looks like this:
```nix
{ lib, bundlerApp }:
bundlerApp {
pname = "mdl";
gemdir = ./.;
exes = [ "mdl" ];
}
```
All that's left to do is to generate the corresponding `Gemfile.lock` and
`gemset.nix` as described above in the `Using an existing Gemfile` section.
##### Packaging executables that require wrapping
Sometimes your app will depend on other executables at runtime, and tries to
find it through the `PATH` environment variable.
In this case, you can provide a `postBuild` hook to `bundlerApp` that wraps the
gem in another script that prefixes the `PATH`.
Of course you could also make a custom `gemConfig` if you know exactly how to
patch it, but it's usually much easier to maintain with a simple wrapper so the
patch doesn't have to be adjusted for each version.
Here's another example:
```nix
{ lib, bundlerApp, makeWrapper, git, gnutar, gzip }:
bundlerApp {
pname = "r10k";
gemdir = ./.;
exes = [ "r10k" ];
buildInputs = [ makeWrapper ];
postBuild = ''
wrapProgram $out/bin/r10k --prefix PATH : ${lib.makeBinPath [ git gnutar gzip ]}
'';
}
```

# Rust
To install the rust compiler and cargo put
```
rustc
cargo
```
into the `environment.systemPackages` or bring them into
scope with `nix-shell -p rustc cargo`.
For daily builds (beta and nightly) use either rustup from
nixpkgs or use the [Rust nightlies
overlay](#using-the-rust-nightlies-overlay).
## Compiling Rust applications with Cargo
Rust applications are packaged by using the `buildRustPackage` helper from `rustPlatform`:
```
rustPlatform.buildRustPackage rec {
pname = "ripgrep";
version = "11.0.2";
src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "BurntSushi";
repo = pname;
rev = version;
sha256 = "1iga3320mgi7m853la55xip514a3chqsdi1a1rwv25lr9b1p7vd3";
};
cargoSha256 = "17ldqr3asrdcsh4l29m3b5r37r5d0b3npq1lrgjmxb6vlx6a36qh";
meta = with stdenv.lib; {
description = "A fast line-oriented regex search tool, similar to ag and ack";
homepage = "https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep";
license = licenses.unlicense;
maintainers = [ maintainers.tailhook ];
};
}
```
`buildRustPackage` requires a `cargoSha256` 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.
Per the instructions in the [Cargo Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/cargo-toml-vs-cargo-lock.html)
best practices guide, Rust applications should always commit the `Cargo.lock`
file in git to ensure a reproducible build. However, a few packages do not, and
Nix depends on this file, so if it missing you can use `cargoPatches` to apply
it in the `patchPhase`. Consider sending a PR upstream with a note to the
maintainer describing why it's important to include in the application.
The fetcher will verify that the `Cargo.lock` file is in sync with the `src`
attribute, and fail the build if not. It will also will compress the vendor
directory into a tar.gz archive.
### Building a crate for a different target
To build your crate with a different cargo `--target` simply specify the `target` attribute:
```nix
pkgs.rustPlatform.buildRustPackage {
(...)
target = "x86_64-fortanix-unknown-sgx";
}
```
### Running package tests
When using `buildRustPackage`, the `checkPhase` is enabled by default and runs
`cargo test` on the package to build. To make sure that we don't compile the
sources twice and to actually test the artifacts that will be used at runtime,
the tests will be ran in the `release` mode by default.
However, in some cases the test-suite of a package doesn't work properly in the
`release` mode. For these situations, the mode for `checkPhase` can be changed like
so:
```nix
rustPlatform.buildRustPackage {
/* ... */
checkType = "debug";
}
```
Please note that the code will be compiled twice here: once in `release` mode
for the `buildPhase`, and again in `debug` mode for the `checkPhase`.
#### Tests relying on the structure of the `target/` directory
Some tests may rely on the structure of the `target/` directory. Those tests
are likely to fail because we use `cargo --target` during the build. This means that
the artifacts
[are stored in `target/<architecture>/release/`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html),
rather than in `target/release/`.
This can only be worked around by patching the affected tests accordingly.
#### Disabling package-tests
In some instances, it may be necessary to disable testing altogether (with `doCheck = false;`):
* If no tests exist -- the `checkPhase` should be explicitly disabled to skip
unnecessary build steps to speed up the build.
* If tests are highly impure (e.g. due to network usage).
There will obviously be some corner-cases not listed above where it's sensible to disable tests.
The above are just guidelines, and exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis.
However, please check if it's possible to disable a problematic subset of the

### Building a package in `debug` mode
By default, `buildRustPackage` will use `release` mode for builds. If a package
should be built in `debug` mode, it can be configured like so:
```nix
rustPlatform.buildRustPackage {
/* ... */
buildType = "debug";
}
```
In this scenario, the `checkPhase` will be ran in `debug` mode as well.
### Custom `build`/`install`-procedures
Some packages may use custom scripts for building/installing, e.g. with a `Makefile`.
In these cases, it's recommended to override the `buildPhase`/`installPhase`/`checkPhase`.
Otherwise, some steps may fail because of the modified directory structure of `target/`.
### Building a crate with an absent or out-of-date Cargo.lock file
`buildRustPackage` needs a `Cargo.lock` file to get all dependencies in the
source code in a reproducible way. If it is missing or out-of-date one can use
the `cargoPatches` attribute to update or add it.
```
{ lib, rustPlatform, fetchFromGitHub }:
rustPlatform.buildRustPackage rec {
(...)
cargoPatches = [
# a patch file to add/update Cargo.lock in the source code
./add-Cargo.lock.patch
];
}
```
## Compiling Rust crates using Nix instead of Cargo
### Simple operation
When run, `cargo build` produces a file called `Cargo.lock`,
containing pinned versions of all dependencies. Nixpkgs contains a
tool called `carnix` (`nix-env -iA nixos.carnix`), which can be used
to turn a `Cargo.lock` into a Nix expression.
That Nix expression calls `rustc` directly (hence bypassing Cargo),
and can be used to compile a crate and all its dependencies. Here is
an example for a minimal `hello` crate:
$ cargo new hello
$ cd hello
$ cargo build
Compiling hello v0.1.0 (file:///tmp/hello)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.20 secs
$ carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
$ nix-build hello.nix -A hello_0_1_0
Now, the file produced by the call to `carnix`, called `hello.nix`, looks like:
```
# Generated by carnix 0.6.5: carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
{ lib, stdenv, buildRustCrate, fetchgit }:
let kernel = stdenv.buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
# ... (content skipped)
in
rec {
hello = f: hello_0_1_0 { features = hello_0_1_0_features { hello_0_1_0 = f; }; };
hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "hello";
version = "0.1.0";
authors = [ "pe@pijul.org <pe@pijul.org>" ];
src = ./.;
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
hello_0_1_0 = { features?(hello_0_1_0_features {}) }: hello_0_1_0_ {};
hello_0_1_0_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
hello_0_1_0.default = (f.hello_0_1_0.default or true);
}) [ ];
}
```
In particular, note that the argument given as `--src` is copied
verbatim to the source. If we look at a more complicated
dependencies, for instance by adding a single line `libc="*"` to our
`Cargo.toml`, we first need to run `cargo build` to update the
`Cargo.lock`. Then, `carnix` needs to be run again, and produces the
following nix file:
```
# Generated by carnix 0.6.5: carnix -o hello.nix --src ./. Cargo.lock --standalone
{ lib, stdenv, buildRustCrate, fetchgit }:
let kernel = stdenv.buildPlatform.parsed.kernel.name;
# ... (content skipped)
in
rec {
hello = f: hello_0_1_0 { features = hello_0_1_0_features { hello_0_1_0 = f; }; };
hello_0_1_0_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "hello";
version = "0.1.0";
authors = [ "pe@pijul.org <pe@pijul.org>" ];
src = ./.;
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
libc_0_2_36_ = { dependencies?[], buildDependencies?[], features?[] }: buildRustCrate {
crateName = "libc";
version = "0.2.36";
authors = [ "The Rust Project Developers" ];
sha256 = "01633h4yfqm0s302fm0dlba469bx8y6cs4nqc8bqrmjqxfxn515l";
inherit dependencies buildDependencies features;
};
hello_0_1_0 = { features?(hello_0_1_0_features {}) }: hello_0_1_0_ {
dependencies = mapFeatures features ([ libc_0_2_36 ]);
};
hello_0_1_0_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
hello_0_1_0.default = (f.hello_0_1_0.default or true);
libc_0_2_36.default = true;
}) [ libc_0_2_36_features ];
libc_0_2_36 = { features?(libc_0_2_36_features {}) }: libc_0_2_36_ {
features = mkFeatures (features.libc_0_2_36 or {});
};
libc_0_2_36_features = f: updateFeatures f (rec {
libc_0_2_36.default = (f.libc_0_2_36.default or true);
libc_0_2_36.use_std =
(f.libc_0_2_36.use_std or false) ||
(f.libc_0_2_36.default or false) ||
(libc_0_2_36.default or false);
}) [];
}
```
Here, the `libc` crate has no `src` attribute, so `buildRustCrate`
will fetch it from [crates.io](https://crates.io). A `sha256`
attribute is still needed for Nix purity.
### Handling external dependencies
Some crates require external libraries. For crates from
[crates.io](https://crates.io), such libraries can be specified in
`defaultCrateOverrides` package in nixpkgs itself.
Starting from that file, one can add more overrides, to add features
or build inputs by overriding the hello crate in a seperate file.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import ./hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
hello = attrs: { buildInputs = [ openssl ]; };
};
}
```
Here, `crateOverrides` is expected to be a attribute set, where the
key is the crate name without version number and the value a function.
The function gets all attributes passed to `buildRustCrate` as first
argument and returns a set that contains all attribute that should be
overwritten.
For more complicated cases, such as when parts of the crate's
derivation depend on the crate's version, the `attrs` argument of
the override above can be read, as in the following example, which
patches the derivation:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import ./hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
hello = attrs: lib.optionalAttrs (lib.versionAtLeast attrs.version "1.0") {
postPatch = ''
substituteInPlace lib/zoneinfo.rs \
--replace "/usr/share/zoneinfo" "${tzdata}/share/zoneinfo"
'';
};
};
}
```
Another situation is when we want to override a nested
dependency. This actually works in the exact same way, since the
`crateOverrides` parameter is forwarded to the crate's
dependencies. For instance, to override the build inputs for crate
`libc` in the example above, where `libc` is a dependency of the main
crate, we could do:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
libc = attrs: { buildInputs = []; };
};
}
```
### Options and phases configuration
Actually, the overrides introduced in the previous section are more
general. A number of other parameters can be overridden:
- The version of rustc used to compile the crate:
```
(hello {}).override { rust = pkgs.rust; };
```
- Whether to build in release mode or debug mode (release mode by
default):
```
(hello {}).override { release = false; };
```
- Whether to print the commands sent to rustc when building
(equivalent to `--verbose` in cargo:
```
(hello {}).override { verbose = false; };
```
- Extra arguments to be passed to `rustc`:
```
(hello {}).override { extraRustcOpts = "-Z debuginfo=2"; };
```
- Phases, just like in any other derivation, can be specified using
the following attributes: `preUnpack`, `postUnpack`, `prePatch`,
`patches`, `postPatch`, `preConfigure` (in the case of a Rust crate,
this is run before calling the "build" script), `postConfigure`
(after the "build" script),`preBuild`, `postBuild`, `preInstall` and
`postInstall`. As an example, here is how to create a new module
before running the build script:
```
(hello {}).override {
preConfigure = ''
echo "pub const PATH=\"${hi.out}\";" >> src/path.rs"
'';
};
```
### Features
One can also supply features switches. For example, if we want to
compile `diesel_cli` only with the `postgres` feature, and no default
features, we would write:
```
(callPackage ./diesel.nix {}).diesel {
default = false;
postgres = true;
}
```
Where `diesel.nix` is the file generated by Carnix, as explained above.
## Setting Up `nix-shell`
Oftentimes you want to develop code from within `nix-shell`. Unfortunately
`buildRustCrate` does not support common `nix-shell` operations directly
(see [this issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/37945))
so we will use `stdenv.mkDerivation` instead.
Using the example `hello` project above, we want to do the following:
- Have access to `cargo` and `rustc`
- Have the `openssl` library available to a crate through it's _normal_
compilation mechanism (`pkg-config`).
A typical `shell.nix` might look like:
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "rust-env";
nativeBuildInputs = [
rustc cargo
# Example Build-time Additional Dependencies
pkgconfig
];
buildInputs = [
# Example Run-time Additional Dependencies
openssl
];
# Set Environment Variables
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
}
```
You should now be able to run the following:
```
$ nix-shell --pure
$ cargo build
$ cargo test
```
### Controlling Rust Version Inside `nix-shell`
To control your rust version (i.e. use nightly) from within `shell.nix` (or
other nix expressions) you can use the following `shell.nix`
```
# Latest Nightly
with import <nixpkgs> {};
let src = fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "mozilla";
repo = "nixpkgs-mozilla";
# commit from: 2019-05-15
rev = "9f35c4b09fd44a77227e79ff0c1b4b6a69dff533";
sha256 = "18h0nvh55b5an4gmlgfbvwbyqj91bklf1zymis6lbdh75571qaz0";
};
in
with import "${src.out}/rust-overlay.nix" pkgs pkgs;
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "rust-env";
buildInputs = [
# Note: to use use stable, just replace `nightly` with `stable`
latest.rustChannels.nightly.rust
# Add some extra dependencies from `pkgs`
pkgconfig openssl
];
# Set Environment Variables
RUST_BACKTRACE = 1;
}
```
Now run:
```
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.26.0-nightly (188e693b3 2018-03-26)
```
To see that you are using nightly.
## 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.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust
Or using the attribute with nix-shell:
$ nix-shell -p nixos.latest.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/).
