This makes the flow of data easier to understand. There's little downside
because the args in question are already inspected by the stdenvs.
cross-compiling in particular is simpler because we don't need to worry
about overriding the config closed over by `allPackages`.
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.
Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.
Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.
`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)
Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken
The built-in ACL prevents the gradm binary from loading dynamic
libraries from the Nix store. Thus, once the RBAC system is activated,
the gradm binary cannot be used.
Fix by patching in rules to allow references to the Nix store where
appropriate.
This reverts commit 44122e2c0ffb264e56e09d8b40595b5b30177bb1, reversing
changes made to d66db992ae15d95fa9234058be710ccdeaa910db.
The hash wasn't changed, meaning this won't work and the build is most
likely untested.
This is a fix for the current package source file
http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/less-483.tar.gz
not being available anymore.
We bump the less version back to 481, and adjust the source package hash
accordingly. This is a (slight) downgrade from 483 as opposed to an
upgrade since
a) 481 is the current Recommended version by http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/download.html
b) Upstream is unreliable about keeping experimental versions around.
