The location of this 'regen' script (whatever is does) depends on the
platform. AFAICT it always exists due to this:
$(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR):
mkdir $(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR)
cp $(srcdir)/Lib/plat-generic/regen $(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR)/regen
This will probably be mandatory soon, and is a step in the right
direction. Removes the deprecated meta.version, and move some meta
sections to the end of the file where I should have put them in
the first place.
This was preventing any ruby gem with a c extension to build.
mkmf would fail with a misleading error:
/nix/store/dmkcai8fnv21qxiasx628nim3mq4r4wg-ruby-2.2.3-p0/lib/ruby/2.2.0/mkmf.rb:456:in `try_do': The compiler failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError)
You have to install development tools first.
generate_stub doesn't exist and the output is not used in the code so I just
removed the line.
This was preventing the binstubs from generating properly.
- I chose to keep `browser-unwrapped` attributes so that it's much
easier to override parameters for the browser (through `packageOverrides`).
- Aliases `browserWrapper` are retained for now, as usual.
This is a major closure size reduction on Darwin, and probably a less
significant one on Linux. On darwin, retaining the compiler means adding
clang and its dependency llvm to the perl closure, which gives us ~400MB
of extra stuff. Considering that Nix itself depends on this version of
perl, that makes cutting a new Nix release rather unpleasaont Darwin.
After this patch, I was able to get the `nixUnstable` closure down to
21MB after feeding it into a .tar.xz (123MB before compression). There's
still room for improvement but this should carry us over until we split
outputs.
