ff8fd21304 nixos-rebuild: use sudo when whoami != root
Currently, executing `nixos-rebuild switch` as a non-root user will
result in a somewhat confusing error about being unable to link a
profile to a nix store path. This is not ideal, especially as we already
have most of the code to handle this properly and use `sudo` to elevate
permissions to install.

This is preferrable for flakes (better eval caching), and also more
intuitive for new users.

### Something went wrong and a lot of people were pinged
It happens. Remember to be kind, especially to new contributors.
There is no way back, so the pull request should be closed and locked
(if possible). The changes should be re-submitted in a new PR, in which the people
originally involved in the conversation need to manually be pinged again.
No further discussion should happen on the original PR, as a lot of people
are now subscribed to it.
The following message (or a version thereof) might be left when closing to
describe the situation, since closing and locking without any explanation
is kind of rude:
```markdown
It looks like you accidentally mass-pinged a bunch of people, which are now subscribed
and getting notifications for everything in this pull request. Unfortunately, they
cannot be automatically unsubscribed from the issue (removing review request does not
unsubscribe), therefore development cannot continue in this pull request anymore.
Please open a new pull request with your changes, link back to this one and ping the
people actually involved in here over there.
In order to avoid this in the future, there are instructions for how to properly
rebase between branches in our [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#rebasing-between-branches-ie-from-master-to-staging).
Setting your pull request to draft prior to rebasing is strongly recommended.
In draft status, you can preview the list of people that are about to be requested
for review, which allows you to sidestep this issue.
This is not a bulletproof method though, as OfBorg still does review requests even on draft PRs.

## 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).
You can add a label such as `backport release-23.05` to a PR, so that merging it will
You can add a label such as `backport release-22.11` to a PR, so that merging it will
automatically create a backport (via [a GitHub Action](.github/workflows/backport.yml)).
This also works for pull requests that have already been merged, and might take a couple of minutes to trigger.
This also works for PR's that have already been merged, and might take a couple of minutes to trigger.
You can also create the backport manually:
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-23.05`. Do not use a _channel branch_ like `nixos-23.05` or `nixpkgs-23.05-darwin`.
2. Check out the target _release branch_, e.g. `release-22.11`. Do not use a _channel branch_ like `nixos-22.11` or `nixpkgs-22.11-darwin`.
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-23.05`) as the target branch of the pull request, and link to the pull request in which the original change was committed to `master`. The pull request title should be the commit title with the release version as prefix, e.g. `[23.05]`.
5. Push to GitHub and open a backport pull request. Make sure to select the release branch (e.g. `release-22.11`) as the target branch of the pull request, and link to the pull request in which the original change was committed to `master`. The pull request title should be the commit title with the release version as prefix, e.g. `[22.11]`.
6. When the backport pull request is merged and you have the necessary privileges you can also replace the label `9.needs: port to stable` with `8.has: port to stable` on the original pull request. This way maintainers can keep track of missing backports easier.

Initially you should not change the builder configuration else you will not be
able to use the binary cache. However, after you have the builder running locally
you may use it to build a modified builder with additional storage or memory.
To do this, you just need to set the `virtualisation.darwin-builder.*` parameters as
in the example below and rebuild.
```
darwin-builder = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
system = linuxSystem;
modules = [
"${nixpkgs}/nixos/modules/profiles/macos-builder.nix"
{
virtualisation.host.pkgs = pkgs;

virtualisation.darwin-builder.hostPort = 33022;
virtualisation.darwin-builder.workingDirectory = "/var/lib/darwin-builder";
}
];
```
You may make any other changes to your VM in this attribute set. For example,
you could enable Docker or X11 forwarding to your Darwin host.

Running `nix-shell` on it would drop you into a shell inside an FHS env where those libraries and binaries are available in FHS-compliant paths. Applications that expect an FHS structure (i.e. proprietary binaries) can run inside this environment without modification.
You can build a wrapper by running your binary in `runScript`, e.g. `./bin/start.sh`. Relative paths work as expected.
Running `nix-shell` 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 `runScript` to the application path, e.g. `./bin/start.sh` -- relative paths are supported.
Additionally, the FHS builder links all relocated gsettings-schemas (the glib setup-hook moves them to `share/gsettings-schemas/${name}/glib-2.0/schemas`) to their standard FHS location. This means you don't need to wrap binaries with `wrapGAppsHook`.

# vmTools {#sec-vm-tools}
A set of VM related utilities, that help in building some packages in more advanced scenarios.
## `vmTools.createEmptyImage` {#vm-tools-createEmptyImage}
A bash script fragment that produces a disk image at `destination`.
### Attributes {#vm-tools-createEmptyImage-attributes}
* `size`. The disk size, in MiB.
* `fullName`. Name that will be written to `${destination}/nix-support/full-name`.
* `destination` (optional, default `$out`). Where to write the image files.
## `vmTools.runInLinuxVM` {#vm-tools-runInLinuxVM}
Run a derivation in a Linux virtual machine (using Qemu/KVM).
By default, there is no disk image; the root filesystem is a `tmpfs`, and the Nix store is shared with the host (via the [9P protocol](https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9p#9p_Protocol)).
Thus, any pure Nix derivation should run unmodified.
If the build fails and Nix is run with the `-K/--keep-failed` option, a script `run-vm` will be left behind in the temporary build directory that allows you to boot into the VM and debug it interactively.
### Attributes {#vm-tools-runInLinuxVM-attributes}
* `preVM` (optional). Shell command to be evaluated *before* the VM is started (i.e., on the host).
* `memSize` (optional, default `512`). The memory size of the VM in MiB.
* `diskImage` (optional). A file system image to be attached to `/dev/sda`.
Note that currently we expect the image to contain a filesystem, not a full disk image with a partition table etc.
### Examples {#vm-tools-runInLinuxVM-examples}
Build the derivation hello inside a VM:
```nix
{ pkgs }: with pkgs; with vmTools;
runInLinuxVM hello
```
Build inside a VM with extra memory:
```nix
{ pkgs }: with pkgs; with vmTools;
runInLinuxVM (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { memSize = 1024; }))
```
Use VM with a disk image (implicitly sets `diskImage`, see [`vmTools.createEmptyImage`](#vm-tools-createEmptyImage)):
```nix
{ pkgs }: with pkgs; with vmTools;
runInLinuxVM (hello.overrideAttrs (_: {
preVM = createEmptyImage {
size = 1024;
fullName = "vm-image";
};
}))
```
## `vmTools.extractFs` {#vm-tools-extractFs}
Takes a file, such as an ISO, and extracts its contents into the store.
### Attributes {#vm-tools-extractFs-attributes}
* `file`. Path to the file to be extracted.
Note that currently we expect the image to contain a filesystem, not a full disk image with a partition table etc.
* `fs` (optional). Filesystem of the contents of the file.
### Examples {#vm-tools-extractFs-examples}

```nix
{ pkgs }: with pkgs; with vmTools;
extractFs { file = ./image.iso; }

## `vmTools.extractMTDfs` {#vm-tools-extractMTDfs}
Like [](#vm-tools-extractFs), but it makes use of a [Memory Technology Device (MTD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Technology_Device).
## `vmTools.runInLinuxImage` {#vm-tools-runInLinuxImage}
Like [](#vm-tools-runInLinuxVM), but instead of using `stdenv` from the Nix store, run the build using the tools provided by `/bin`, `/usr/bin`, etc. from the specified filesystem image, which typically is a filesystem containing a [FHS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard)-based Linux distribution.

Example: Given a project had its latest releases `2.2` in November 2021, and `3.0` in January 2022, a commit authored on March 15, 2022 for an upcoming bugfix release `2.2.1` would have `version = "2.2-unstable-2022-03-15"`.

# breakpointHook {#breakpointhook}
### breakpointHook {#breakpointhook}
This hook will make a build pause instead of stopping when a failure happens. It prevents nix from cleaning up the build environment immediately and allows the user to attach to a build environment using the `cntr` command. Upon build error it will print instructions on how to use `cntr`, which can be used to enter the environment for debugging. Installing cntr and running the command will provide shell access to the build sandbox of failed build. At `/var/lib/cntr` the sandboxed filesystem is mounted. All commands and files of the system are still accessible within the shell. To execute commands from the sandbox use the cntr exec subcommand. `cntr` is only supported on Linux-based platforms. To use it first add `cntr` to your `environment.systemPackages` on NixOS or alternatively to the root user on non-NixOS systems. Then in the package that is supposed to be inspected, add `breakpointHook` to `nativeBuildInputs`.

Overrides the default configure phase to run the CMake command. By default, we use the Make generator of CMake. In addition, dependencies are added automatically to `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` so that packages are correctly detected by CMake. Some additional flags are passed in to give similar behavior to configure-based packages. You can disable this hooks behavior by setting `configurePhase` to a custom value, or by setting `dontUseCmakeConfigure`. `cmakeFlags` controls flags passed only to CMake. By default, parallel building is enabled as CMake supports parallel building almost everywhere. When Ninja is also in use, CMake will detect that and use the ninja generator.

# Dart {#sec-language-dart}
## Dart applications {#ssec-dart-applications}
The function `buildDartApplication` builds Dart applications managed with pub.
It fetches its Dart dependencies automatically through `fetchDartDeps`, and (through a series of hooks) builds and installs the executables specified in the pubspec file. The hooks can be used in other derivations, if needed. The phases can also be overridden to do something different from installing binaries.
If you are packaging a Flutter desktop application, use [`buildFlutterApplication`](#ssec-dart-flutter) instead.
`vendorHash`: is the hash of the output of the dependency fetcher derivation. To obtain it, simply set it to `lib.fakeHash` (or omit it) and run the build ([more details here](#sec-source-hashes)).
If the upstream source is missing a `pubspec.lock` file, you'll have to vendor one and specify it using `pubspecLockFile`. If it is needed, one will be generated for you and printed when attempting to build the derivation.
The `dart` commands run can be overridden through `pubGetScript` and `dartCompileCommand`, you can also add flags using `dartCompileFlags` or `dartJitFlags`.
Dart supports multiple [outputs types](https://dart.dev/tools/dart-compile#types-of-output), you can choose between them using `dartOutputType` (defaults to `exe`). If you want to override the binaries path or the source path they come from, you can use `dartEntryPoints`. Outputs that require a runtime will automatically be wrapped with the relevant runtime (`dartaotruntime` for `aot-snapshot`, `dart run` for `jit-snapshot` and `kernel`, `node` for `js`), this can be overridden through `dartRuntimeCommand`.

`haskellPackages.mkDerivation` supports incremental builds for GHC 9.4 and
newer with the `doInstallIntermediates`, `enableSeparateIntermediatesOutput`,
and `previousIntermediates` arguments.
The basic idea is to first perform a full build of the package in question,
save its intermediate build products for later, and then copy those build
products into the build directory of an incremental build performed later.
Then, GHC will use those build artifacts to avoid recompiling unchanged
modules.
For more detail on how to store and use incremental build products, see
[Gabriella Gonzalez blog post “Nixpkgs support for incremental Haskell
builds”.][incremental-builds] motivation behind this feature.

# lisp-modules {#lisp}
This document describes the Nixpkgs infrastructure for building Common Lisp
libraries that use ASDF (Another System Definition Facility). It lives in
`pkgs/development/lisp-modules`.
## Overview {#lisp-overview}
The main entry point of the API are the Common Lisp implementation packages
(e.g. `abcl`, `ccl`, `clasp-common-lisp`, `clisp` `ecl`, `sbcl`)
themselves. They have the `pkgs` and `withPackages` attributes, which can be
used to discover available packages and to build wrappers, respectively.
The `pkgs` attribute set contains packages that were automatically imported from
Quicklisp, and any other manually defined ones. Not every package works for all
the CL implementations (e.g. `nyxt` only makes sense for `sbcl`).
The `withPackages` function is of primary utility. It is used to build runnable
wrappers, with a pinned and pre-built ASDF FASL available in the `ASDF`
environment variable, and `CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY`/`ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS`
configured to find the desired systems on runtime.
With a few exceptions, the primary thing that the infrastructure does is to run
`asdf:load-system` for each system specified in the `systems` argument to
`build-asdf-system`, and save the FASLs to the Nix store. Then, it makes these
FASLs available to wrappers. Any other use-cases, such as producing SBCL
executables with `sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die`, are achieved via overriding the
`buildPhase` etc.
In addition, Lisps have the `withOverrides` function, which can be used to
substitute any package in the scope of their `pkgs`. This will be useful
together with `overrideLispAttrs` when dealing with slashy ASDF systems, because
they should stay in the main package and be build by specifying the `systems`
argument to `build-asdf-system`.
## The 90% use case example {#lisp-use-case-example}
The most common way to use the library is to run ad-hoc wrappers like this:
`nix-shell -p 'sbcl.withPackages (ps: with ps; [ alexandria ])'`
Then, in a shell:
```
$ result/bin/sbcl
* (load (sb-ext:posix-getenv "ASDF"))
* (asdf:load-system 'alexandria)
```
Also one can create a `pkgs.mkShell` environment in `shell.nix`/`flake.nix`:
```
let
sbcl' = sbcl.withPackages (ps: [ ps.alexandria ]);
in mkShell {
buildInputs = [ sbcl' ];
}
```
Such a Lisp can be now used e.g. to compile your sources:
```
buildPhase = ''
${sbcl'}/bin/sbcl --load my-build-file.lisp
''
```
## Importing packages from Quicklisp {#lisp-importing-packages-from-quicklisp}
The library is able to very quickly import all the packages distributed by
Quicklisp by parsing its `releases.txt` and `systems.txt` files. These files are
available from [http://beta.quicklisp.org/dist/quicklisp.txt].
The import process is implemented in the `import` directory as Common Lisp
functions in the `org.lispbuilds.nix` ASDF system. To run the script, one can
execute `ql-import.lisp`:
```
nix-shell --run 'sbcl --script ql-import.lisp'
```
The script will:
1. Download the latest Quicklisp `systems.txt` and `releases.txt` files
2. Generate an SQLite database of all QL systems in `packages.sqlite`
3. Generate an `imported.nix` file from the database
The maintainer's job there is to:
1. Re-run the `ql-import.lisp` script
2. Add missing native dependencies in `ql.nix`
3. For packages that still don't build, package them manually in `packages.nix`
Also, the `imported.nix` file **must not be edited manually**! It should only be
generated as described in this section.
### Adding native dependencies {#lisp-quicklisp-adding-native-dependencies}
The Quicklisp files contain ASDF dependency data, but don't include native
library (CFFI) dependencies, and, in the case of ABCL, Java dependencies.
The `ql.nix` file contains a long list of overrides, where these dependencies
can be added.
Packages defined in `packages.nix` contain these dependencies naturally.
### Trusting `systems.txt` and `releases.txt` {#lisp-quicklisp-trusting}
The previous implementation of `lisp-modules` didn't fully trust the Quicklisp
data, because there were times where the dependencies specified were not
complete, and caused broken builds. It instead used a `nix-shell` environment to
discover real dependencies by using the ASDF APIs.
The current implementation has chosen to trust this data, because it's faster to
parse a text file than to build each system to generate its Nix file, and
because that way packages can be mass-imported. Because of that, there may come
a day where some packages will break, due to bugs in Quicklisp. In that case,
the fix could be a manual override in `packages.nix` and `ql.nix`.
A known fact is that Quicklisp doesn't include dependencies on slashy systems in
its data. This is an example of a situation where such fixes were used, e.g. to
replace the `systems` attribute of the affected packages. (See the definition of
`iolib`).
### Quirks {#lisp-quicklisp-quirks}
During Quicklisp import:
- `+` in names are converted to `_plus{_,}`: `cl+ssl`->`cl_plus_ssl`, `alexandria+`->`alexandria_plus`
- `.` to `_dot_`: `iolib.base`->`iolib_dot_base`
- names starting with a number have a `_` prepended (`3d-vectors`->`_3d-vectors`)
- `_` in names is converted to `__` for reversibility
## Defining packages manually inside Nixpkgs {#lisp-defining-packages-inside}
New packages, that for some reason are not in Quicklisp, and so cannot be
auto-imported, can be written in the `packages.nix` file.
In that file, use the `build-asdf-system` function, which is a wrapper around
`mkDerivation` for building ASDF systems. Various other hacks are present, such
as `build-with-compile-into-pwd` for systems which create files during
compilation.
The `build-asdf-system` function is documented with comments in
`nix-cl.nix`. Also, `packages.nix` is full of examples of how to use it.
## Defining packages manually outside Nixpkgs {#lisp-defining-packages-outside}
Lisp derivations (`abcl`, `sbcl` etc.) also export the `buildASDFSystem`
function, which is the same as `build-asdf-system`, except for the `lisp`
argument which is set to the given CL implementation.
It can be used to define packages outside Nixpkgs, and, for example, add them
into the package scope with `withOverrides` which will be discussed later on.
### Including an external package in scope {#lisp-including-external-pkg-in-scope}
A package defined outside Nixpkgs using `buildASDFSystem` can be woven into the
Nixpkgs-provided scope like this:
```
let
alexandria = sbcl.buildASDFSystem rec {
pname = "alexandria";
version = "1.4";
src = fetchFromGitLab {
domain = "gitlab.common-lisp.net";
owner = "alexandria";
repo = "alexandria";
rev = "v${version}";
hash = "sha256-1Hzxt65dZvgOFIljjjlSGgKYkj+YBLwJCACi5DZsKmQ=";
};
};
sbcl' = sbcl.withOverrides (self: super: {
inherit alexandria;
});
in sbcl'.pkgs.alexandria
```
## Overriding package attributes {#lisp-overriding-package-attributes}
Packages export the `overrideLispAttrs` function, which can be used to build a
new package with different parameters.
Example of overriding `alexandria`:
```
sbcl.pkgs.alexandria.overrideLispAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
version = "1.4";
src = fetchFromGitLab {
domain = "gitlab.common-lisp.net";
owner = "alexandria";
repo = "alexandria";
rev = "v${version}";
hash = "sha256-1Hzxt65dZvgOFIljjjlSGgKYkj+YBLwJCACi5DZsKmQ=";
};
})
```
## Overriding packages in scope {#lisp-overriding-packages-in-scope}
Packages can be woven into a new scope by using `withOverrides`:
```
let
sbcl' = sbcl.withOverrides (self: super: {
alexandria = super.alexandria.overrideLispAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
pname = "alexandria";
version = "1.4";
src = fetchFromGitLab {
domain = "gitlab.common-lisp.net";
owner = "alexandria";
repo = "alexandria";
rev = "v${version}";
hash = "sha256-1Hzxt65dZvgOFIljjjlSGgKYkj+YBLwJCACi5DZsKmQ=";
};
});
});
in builtins.elemAt sbcl'.pkgs.bordeaux-threads.lispLibs 0
```
### Dealing with slashy systems {#lisp-dealing-with-slashy-systems}
Slashy (secondary) systems should not exist in their own packages! Instead, they
should be included in the parent package as an extra entry in the `systems`
argument to the `build-asdf-system`/`buildASDFSystem` functions.
The reason is that ASDF searches for a secondary system in the `.asd` of the
parent package. Thus, having them separate would cause either one of them not to
load cleanly, because one will contains FASLs of itself but not the other, and
vice versa.
To package slashy systems, use `overrideLispAttrs`, like so:
```
ecl.pkgs.alexandria.overrideLispAttrs (oldAttrs: {
systems = oldAttrs.systems ++ [ "alexandria/tests" ];
lispLibs = oldAttrs.lispLibs ++ [ ecl.pkgs.rt ];
})
```
See the respective section on using `withOverrides` for how to weave it back
into `ecl.pkgs`.
Note that sometimes the slashy systems might not only have more dependencies
than the main one, but create a circular dependency between `.asd`
files. Unfortunately, in this case an adhoc solution becomes necessary.
## Building Wrappers {#lisp-building-wrappers}
Wrappers can be built using the `withPackages` function of Common Lisp
implementations (`abcl`, `ecl`, `sbcl` etc.):
```
sbcl.withPackages (ps: [ ps.alexandria ps.bordeaux-threads ])
```
Such a wrapper can then be executed like this:
```
result/bin/sbcl
```
### Loading ASDF {#lisp-loading-asdf}
For best results, avoid calling `(require 'asdf)` When using the
library-generated wrappers.
Use `(load (ext:getenv "ASDF"))` instead, supplying your implementation's way of
getting an environment variable for `ext:getenv`. This will load the
(pre-compiled to FASL) Nixpkgs-provided version of ASDF.
### Loading systems {#lisp-loading-systems}
There, you can simply use `asdf:load-system`. This works by setting the right
values for the `CL_SOURCE_REGISTRY`/`ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS` environment
variables, so that systems are found in the Nix store and pre-compiled FASLs are
loaded.
## Adding a new Lisp {#lisp-adding-a-new-lisp}
The function `wrapLisp` is used to wrap Common Lisp implementations. It adds the
`pkgs`, `withPackages`, `withOverrides` and `buildASDFSystem` attributes to the
derivation.
`wrapLisp` takes these arguments:
- `pkg`: the Lisp package
- `faslExt`: Implementation-specific extension for FASL files
- `program`: The name of executable file in `${pkg}/bin/` (Default: `pkg.pname`)
- `flags`: A list of flags to always pass to `program` (Default: `[]`)
- `asdf`: The ASDF version to use (Default: `pkgs.asdf_3_3`)
- `packageOverrides`: Package overrides config (Default: `(self: super: {})`)
This example wraps CLISP:
```
wrapLisp {
pkg = clisp;
faslExt = "fas";
flags = ["-E" "UTF8"];
}
```

## `buildRustCrate`: Compiling Rust crates using Nix instead of Cargo {#compiling-rust-crates-using-nix-instead-of-cargo}
### Simple operation {#simple-operation}
When run, `cargo build` produces a file called `Cargo.lock`,
containing pinned versions of all dependencies. Nixpkgs contains a
tool called `crate2Nix` (`nix-shell -p crate2nix`), 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.
See [`crate2nix`'s documentation](https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix#known-restrictions)
for instructions on how to use it.
### Handling external dependencies {#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 separate file.
```nix
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:
```nix
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" "${tzdata}/share/zoneinfo"
'';
};
};
}
```
Another situation is when we want to override a nested
dependency. This actually works in the exact same way, since the
`crateOverrides` parameter is forwarded to the crate's
dependencies. For instance, to override the build inputs for crate
`libc` in the example above, where `libc` is a dependency of the main
crate, we could do:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs> {};
((import hello.nix).hello {}).override {
crateOverrides = defaultCrateOverrides // {
libc = attrs: { buildInputs = []; };
};
}
```
### Options and phases configuration {#options-and-phases-configuration}
Actually, the overrides introduced in the previous section are more
general. A number of other parameters can be overridden:
- The version of `rustc` used to compile the crate:
```nix
(hello {}).override { rust = pkgs.rust; };
```
- Whether to build in release mode or debug mode (release mode by
default):
```nix
(hello {}).override { release = false; };
```
- Whether to print the commands sent to `rustc` when building
(equivalent to `--verbose` in cargo:
```nix
(hello {}).override { verbose = false; };
```
- Extra arguments to be passed to `rustc`:
```nix
(hello {}).override { extraRustcOpts = "-Z debuginfo=2"; };
```
- Phases, just like in any other derivation, can be specified using
the following attributes: `preUnpack`, `postUnpack`, `prePatch`,
`patches`, `postPatch`, `preConfigure` (in the case of a Rust crate,
this is run before calling the "build" script), `postConfigure`
(after the "build" script),`preBuild`, `postBuild`, `preInstall` and
`postInstall`. As an example, here is how to create a new module
before running the build script:
```nix
(hello {}).override {
preConfigure = ''
echo "pub const PATH=\"${hi.out}\";" >> src/path.rs"
'';
};

:::
There are two community maintained approaches to Rust toolchain management:
- [oxalica's Rust overlay](https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay)
- [fenix](https://github.com/nix-community/fenix)
Despite their names, both projects provides a similar set of packages and overlays under different APIs.
Oxalica's overlay allows you to select a particular Rust version without you providing a hash or a flake input,
but comes with a larger git repository than fenix.
Fenix also provides rust-analyzer nightly in addition to the Rust toolchains.
Both oxalica's overlay and fenix better integrate with nix and cache optimizations.
Because of this and ergonomics, either of those community projects
should be preferred to the Mozilla's Rust overlay ([nixpkgs-mozilla](https://github.com/mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla)).
The following documentation demonstrates examples using fenix and oxalica's Rust overlay
with `nix-shell` and building derivations. More advanced usages like flake usage
are documented in their own repositories.

### Using Rust nightly in a derivation with `buildRustPackage` {#using-rust-nightly-in-a-derivation-with-buildrustpackage}
There are two community maintained approaches to Rust toolchain management:
- [oxalica's Rust overlay](https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay)
- [fenix](https://github.com/nix-community/fenix)
You can also use Rust nightly to build rust packages using `makeRustPlatform`.
The below snippet demonstrates invoking `buildRustPackage` with a Rust toolchain from oxalica's overlay:
Oxalica's overlay allows you to select a particular Rust version and components.
See [their documentation](https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay#rust-overlay) for more
detailed usage.
Fenix is an alternative to `rustup` and can also be used as an overlay.
Both oxalica's overlay and fenix better integrate with nix and cache optimizations.
Because of this and ergonomics, either of those community projects
should be preferred to the Mozilla's Rust overlay (`nixpkgs-mozilla`).
### How to select a specific `rustc` and toolchain version {#how-to-select-a-specific-rustc-and-toolchain-version}
You can consume the oxalica overlay and use it to grab a specific Rust toolchain version.
Here is an example `shell.nix` showing how to grab the current stable toolchain:
```nix
with import <nixpkgs>
{
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {
overlays = [
(import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz"))
];
}
}:
pkgs.mkShell {
nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [
pkg-config
rust-bin.stable.latest.minimal
];
}
```
You can try this out by:
1. Saving that to `shell.nix`
2. Executing `nix-shell --pure --command 'rustc --version'`
As of writing, this prints out `rustc 1.56.0 (09c42c458 2021-10-18)`.
### How to use an overlay toolchain in a derivation {#how-to-use-an-overlay-toolchain-in-a-derivation}

Plugins are listed in alphabetical order in `vim-plugin-names` using the format `[github username]/[repository]@[gitref]`. For example https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree becomes `scrooloose/nerdtree`.
After running `./update.py`, if nvim-treesitter received an update, also run [`nvim-treesitter/update.py`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/editors/vim/plugins/update.py) to update the tree sitter grammars for `nvim-treesitter`.

Sometimes plugins require an override that must be changed when the plugin is updated. This can cause issues when Vim plugins are auto-updated but the associated override isn't updated. For these plugins, the override should be written so that it specifies all information required to install the plugin, and running `./update.py` doesn't change the derivation for the plugin.

# Module System {#module-system}
## Introduction {#module-system-introduction}
The module system is a language for handling configuration, implemented as a Nix library.
Compared to plain Nix, it adds documentation, type checking and composition or extensibility.
::: {.note}
This chapter is new and not complete yet. For a gentle introduction to the module system, in the context of NixOS, see [Writing NixOS Modules](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/index.html#sec-writing-modules) in the NixOS manual.
:::
## `lib.evalModules` {#module-system-lib-evalModules}
Evaluate a set of modules. This function is typically only used once per application (e.g. once in NixOS, once in Home Manager, ...).
### Parameters {#module-system-lib-evalModules-parameters}
#### `modules` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-modules}
A list of modules. These are merged together to form the final configuration.
<!-- TODO link to section about merging, TBD -->
#### `specialArgs` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-specialArgs}
An attribute set of module arguments that can be used in `imports`.
This is in contrast to `config._module.args`, which is only available after all `imports` have been resolved.
#### `class` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-class}
If the `class` attribute is set and non-`null`, the module system will reject `imports` with a different `_class` declaration.
The `class` value should be a string in lower [camel case](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case).
If applicable, the `class` should match the "prefix" of the attributes used in (experimental) [flakes](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.html#description). Some examples are:
- `nixos` as in `flake.nixosModules`
- `nixosTest`: modules that constitute a [NixOS VM test](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-nixos-tests)
<!-- We've only just started with `class`. You're invited to add a few more. -->
#### `prefix` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-prefix}
A list of strings representing the location at or below which all options are evaluated. This is used by `types.submodule` to improve error reporting and find the implicit `name` module argument.
### Return value {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value}
The result is an attribute set with the following attributes:
#### `options` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-options}
The nested attribute set of all option declarations.
#### `config` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-config}
The nested attribute set of all option values.
#### `type` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-type}
A module system type. This type is an instance of `types.submoduleWith` containing the current [`modules`](#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-modules).
The option definitions that are typed with this type will extend the current set of modules, like [`extendModules`](#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-extendModules).
However, the value returned from the type is just the [`config`](#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-config), like any submodule.
If you're familiar with prototype inheritance, you can think of this `evalModules` invocation as the prototype, and usages of this type as the instances.
This type is also available to the [`modules`](#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-modules) as the module argument `moduleType`.
<!-- TODO: document the module arguments. Using moduleType is like saying: suppose this configuration was extended. -->
#### `extendModules` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-extendModules}
A function similar to `evalModules` but building on top of the already passed [`modules`](#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-modules). Its arguments, `modules` and `specialArgs` are added to the existing values.
If you're familiar with prototype inheritance, you can think of the current, actual `evalModules` invocation as the prototype, and the return value of `extendModules` as the instance.
This functionality is also available to modules as the `extendModules` module argument.
::: {.note}
**Evaluation Performance**
`extendModules` returns a configuration that shares very little with the original `evalModules` invocation, because the module arguments may be different.
So if you have a configuration that has been (or will be) largely evaluated, almost none of the computation is shared with the configuration returned by `extendModules`.
The real work of module evaluation happens while computing the values in `config` and `options`, so multiple invocations of `extendModules` have a particularly small cost, as long as only the final `config` and `options` are evaluated.
If you do reference multiple `config` (or `options`) from before and after `extendModules`, evaluation performance is the same as with multiple `evalModules` invocations, because the new modules' ability to override existing configuration fundamentally requires constructing a new `config` and `options` fixpoint.
:::
#### `_module` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-_module}
A portion of the configuration tree which is elided from `config`.
<!-- TODO: when markdown migration is complete, make _module docs visible again and reference _module docs. Maybe move those docs into this chapter? -->
#### `_type` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-_type}
A nominal type marker, always `"configuration"`.
#### `class` {#module-system-lib-evalModules-return-value-_configurationClass}
The [`class` argument](#module-system-lib-evalModules-param-class).

Hydra will never create prebuilt binaries for these platform types, even if they are in [`meta.platforms`](#var-meta-platforms).
In general it is preferable to set `meta.platforms = lib.platforms.all` and then exclude any platforms on which the package is known not to build.
For example, a package which requires dynamic linking and cannot be linked statically could use this:
```nix
meta.platforms = lib.platforms.all;
meta.badPlatforms = [ lib.systems.inspect.patterns.isStatic ];
```
The [`lib.meta.availableOn`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/b03ac42b0734da3e7be9bf8d94433a5195734b19/lib/meta.nix#L95-L106) function can be used to test whether or not a package is available (i.e. buildable) on a given platform.
Some packages use this to automatically detect the maximum set of features with which they can be built.
For example, `systemd` [requires dynamic linking](https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/20600#issuecomment-912338965), and [has a `meta.badPlatforms` setting](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/b03ac42b0734da3e7be9bf8d94433a5195734b19/pkgs/os-specific/linux/systemd/default.nix#L752) similar to the one above.
Packages which can be built with or without `systemd` support will use `lib.meta.availableOn` to detect whether or not `systemd` is available on the [`hostPlatform`](#ssec-cross-platform-parameters) for which they are being built; if it is not available (e.g. due to a statically-linked host platform like `pkgsStatic`) this support will be disabled by default.

Such unconditionally-broken packages should be removed from Nixpkgs eventually unless they are fixed.
The value of this attribute can depend on a package's arguments, including `stdenv`.
This means that `broken` can be used to express constraints, for example:
- Does not cross compile
```nix
meta.broken = !(stdenv.buildPlatform.canExecute stdenv.hostPlatform)
```
- Broken if all of a certain set of its dependencies are broken
```nix
meta.broken = lib.all (map (p: p.meta.broken) [ glibc musl ])
```
This makes `broken` strictly more powerful than `meta.badPlatforms`.
However `meta.availableOn` currently examines only `meta.platforms` and `meta.badPlatforms`, so `meta.broken` does not influence the default values for optional dependencies.

Because of the bounds checks, the uncommon cases are `h = t` and `h + 2 = t`. In the former case, the motivation for `mapOffset` is that since its host and target platforms are the same, no transitive dependency of it should be able to “discover” an offset greater than its reduced target offsets. `mapOffset` effectively “squashes” all its transitive dependencies offsets so that none will ever be greater than the target offset of the original `h = t` package. In the other case, `h + 1` is skipped over between the host and target offsets. Instead of squashing the offsets, we need to “rip” them apart so no transitive dependencies offset is that one.
Overall, the unifying theme here is that propagation shouldnt be introducing transitive dependencies involving platforms the depending package is unaware of. \[One can imagine the depending package asking for dependencies with the platforms it knows about; other platforms it doesnt know how to ask for. The platform description in that scenario is a kind of unforgeable capability.\] The offset bounds checking and definition of `mapOffset` together ensure that this is the case. Discovering a new offset is discovering a new platform, and since those platforms werent in the derivation “spec” of the needing package, they cannot be relevant. From a capability perspective, we can imagine that the host and target platforms of a package are the capabilities a package requires, and the depending package must provide the capability to the dependency.

##### How update scripts are executed? {#var-passthru-updateScript-execution}
Update scripts are to be invoked by `maintainers/scripts/update.nix` script. You can run `nix-shell maintainers/scripts/update.nix` in the root of Nixpkgs repository for information on how to use it. `update.nix` offers several modes for selecting packages to update (e.g. select by attribute path, traverse Nixpkgs and filter by maintainer, etc.), and it will execute update scripts for all matched packages that have an `updateScript` attribute.
Each update script will be passed the following environment variables:
- [`UPDATE_NIX_NAME`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_NAME} content of the `name` attribute of the updated package.
- [`UPDATE_NIX_PNAME`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_PNAME} content of the `pname` attribute of the updated package.
- [`UPDATE_NIX_OLD_VERSION`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_OLD_VERSION} content of the `version` attribute of the updated package.
- [`UPDATE_NIX_ATTR_PATH`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_ATTR_PATH} attribute path the `update.nix` discovered the package on (or the [canonical `attrPath`](#var-passthru-updateScript-set-attrPath) when available). Example: `pantheon.elementary-terminal`
The script will be run with the `UPDATE_NIX_NAME`, `UPDATE_NIX_PNAME`, `UPDATE_NIX_OLD_VERSION` and `UPDATE_NIX_ATTR_PATH` environment variables set respectively to the name, pname, old version and attribute path of the package it is supposed to update.
::: {.note}
An update script will be usually run from the root of the Nixpkgs repository but you should not rely on that. Also note that `update.nix` executes update scripts in parallel by default so you should avoid running `git commit` or any other commands that cannot handle that.

:::
::: {.tip}
While update scripts should not create commits themselves, `maintainers/scripts/update.nix` supports automatically creating commits when running it with `--argstr commit true`. If you need to customize commit message, you can have the update script implement [`commit`](#var-passthru-updateScript-commit) feature.
:::
##### Supported features {#var-passthru-updateScript-supported-features}
###### `commit` {#var-passthru-updateScript-commit}
This feature allows update scripts to *ask* `update.nix` to create Git commits.
When support of this feature is declared, whenever the update script exits with `0` return status, it is expected to print a JSON list containing an object described below for each updated attribute to standard output.
When `update.nix` is run with `--argstr commit true` arguments, it will create a separate commit for each of the objects. An empty list can be returned when the script did not update any files, for example, when the package is already at the latest version.
The commit object contains the following values:
- [`attrPath`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-attrPath} a string containing attribute path.
- [`oldVersion`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-oldVersion} a string containing old version.
- [`newVersion`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-newVersion} a string containing new version.
- [`files`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-files} a non-empty list of file paths (as strings) to add to the commit.
- [`commitBody`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-commitBody} (optional) a string with extra content to be appended to the default commit message (useful for adding changelog links).
- [`commitMessage`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-commitMessage} (optional) a string to use instead of the default commit message.
If the returned array contains exactly one object (e.g. `[{}]`), all values are optional and will be determined automatically.

In order to alleviate this burden, the setup hook mechanism was written, where any package can include a shell script that \[by convention rather than enforcement by Nix\], any downstream reverse-dependency will source as part of its build process. That allows the downstream dependency to merely specify its dependencies, and lets those dependencies effectively initialize themselves. No boilerplate mirroring the list of dependencies is needed.
The setup hook mechanism is a bit of a sledgehammer though: a powerful feature with a broad and indiscriminate area of effect. The combination of its power and implicit use may be expedient, but isnt without costs. Nix itself is unchanged, but the spirit of added dependencies being effect-free is violated even if the latter isnt. For example, if a derivation path is mentioned more than once, Nix itself doesnt care and simply makes sure the dependency derivation is already built just the same—depending is just needing something to exist, and needing is idempotent. However, a dependency specified twice will have its setup hook run twice, and that could easily change the build environment (though a well-written setup hook will therefore strive to be idempotent so this is in fact not observable). More broadly, setup hooks are anti-modular in that multiple dependencies, whether the same or different, should not interfere and yet their setup hooks may well do so.

More broadly, setup hooks are anti-modular in that multiple dependencies, whether the same or different, should not interfere and yet their setup hooks may well do so.
The most typical use of the setup hook is actually to add other hooks which are then run (i.e. after all the setup hooks) on each dependency. For example, the C compiler wrappers setup hook feeds itself flags for each dependency that contains relevant libraries and headers. This is done by defining a bash function, and appending its name to one of `envBuildBuildHooks`, `envBuildHostHooks`, `envBuildTargetHooks`, `envHostHostHooks`, `envHostTargetHooks`, or `envTargetTargetHooks`. These 6 bash variables correspond to the 6 sorts of dependencies by platform (theres 12 total but we ignore the propagated/non-propagated axis).

During code generation the compiler knows a great deal of information about buffer sizes (where possible), and attempts to replace insecure unlimited length buffer function calls with length-limited ones. This is especially useful for old, crufty code. Additionally, format strings in writable memory that contain `%n` are blocked. If an application depends on such a format string, it will need to be worked around.
