This focuses on Rust packages, since the most commonly used argument
parser library (clap/structopt) makes the following pattern natural and
thus common:
postInstall = ''
installShellCompletion --cmd foo \
--bash <($out/bin/foo completion bash) \
…
This commit just guards those with
lib.optionalString (stdenv.buildPlatform.canExecute stdenv.hostPlatform)
splitting the string where unrelated actions are performed.
Otherwise references to the Python interpreter inside the set are wrong, as demonstrated by:
``` nix
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
python' = python3.override {
packageOverrides = final: prev: { requests = prev.requests.overridePythonAttrs(old: { version = "1337"; }); };
};
in python'.pkgs.python.pkgs.requests
```
which returns the _non_ overriden requests.
And the same with `self`:
```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
python' = python3.override {
self = python';
packageOverrides = final: prev: { requests = prev.requests.overridePythonAttrs(old: { version = "1337"; }); };
};
in python'.pkgs.python.pkgs.requests
```
which returns the overriden requests.
This can manifest itself as file collisions when constructing environments or as subtly incorrect dependency graphs.
Lore overrides have been included with binlore's source up to now, but
this hasn't worked very well. (It isn't as easy to self-service for
people working in nixpkgs, and its use of partial pnames for matching
breaks down around some edge cases like version numbers appearing
early in perl pnames, or multiple packages having identical pnames.)
This is done with the following bash script:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
process_line() {
local filename=${1%:}
if [[ $4 =~ \"(.*)\"\; ]]; then
local sha256="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
fi
[[ -z $sha256 ]] && return 0
local hash=$(nix hash to-sri --type sha256 $sha256)
echo "Processing: $filename"
echo " $sha256 => $hash"
sed -i "s|cargoSha256 = \"$sha256\"|cargoHash = \"$hash\"|"
$filename
}
# split output by line
grep -r 'cargoSha256 = ' . | while IFS= read -r line; do
# split them further by space
read -r -a parts <<< "$line"
process_line "${parts[@]}"
done
```
This was achieved using the following command:
sd 'wrapGAppsHook\b' wrapGAppsHook3 (rg -l 'wrapGAppsHook\b')

it's no longer needed and if anything impedes further development of the
tooling by its sheer undecipherability of reasoning alone. users of the
docbook renderers can still pull nrd from 23.11 to get this support for
the foreseeable future, but with everything we can remember having moved
away from docbook-like toolchains already that seems unlikely to happen.
since we don't want to break links and changing the id generation scheme
would Very Break links this id generation function is unfortunately
somewhat part of the manual structure now, so we may as well put it there.
The nixpkgs-unstable channel's programs.sqlite was used to identify
packages producing exactly one binary, and these automatically added
to their package definitions wherever possible.
