This parameter is being set to `$NIX_BUILD_CORES` by default. This is a
standard practice but there's a suspicion that this can produce broken
builds. For some details see
https://github.com/cargo2nix/cargo2nix/issues/184 . As a
work-around/test, it'd be good if codegen-units can be set to something
constant, such as `1`. This PR allows it.
Note that the default of `$NIX_BUILD_CORES` is preserved so this MR
causes no change in default behaviour and no rebuilds.
Previously buildDotnetModule did not properly inherit some arguments from
derivations, take for example this expression:
dotnetFlags = [
"--runtime linux-x64"
];
It would error out as follows: "MSBUILD : error MSB1001: Unknown switch.".
Setting the same flag from bash would work fine. This fixes that, all
arguments should now be properly interpreted :)
There used to be a few issues with the way we generate the nuget source:
* The derivation generated for the deps would have "nuget-deps" in them twice:
/nix/store/...-foo-1.0-nuget-deps-nuget-deps
* We always tried to generate the dependencies for "projectReferences"
even when it wasn't set, causing a warning.
This fixes those issues :)
This improves the metadata generation, previously it would take any
"license" entry from the nuspec, and tried to match it to an spdx ID from
"lib.licenses".
Sometimes however licenses are provided in plain-text, which we
obviously cannot cleanly resolve. This resulted in in useless information
("LICENSE.txt") being written to "meta.license".
Examples: support has to be added to https://github.com/nix-community/nixdoc
'nixdoc --category testers --description "nixpkgs testers" --file ./pkgs/build-support/testers/default.nix'
we will have more testers in the future so they should have their own
location
putting 'testers' in args will also make it simpler to use multiple testers
This commits changes the Emacs wrapper, in order to preload all autoload
definitions when built with additional packages. The list of all
definitions is generated at build-time. Packages do not need to
be (require)d for them to work.
Before this change, a code like
```sh
nix-shell -I "nixpkgs=$PWD" -p "emacs.pkgs.withPackages(e:[e.magit])" \
--run "emacs -Q -nw -f magit"
```
will fail with the message `Symbol’s function definition is void: magit`
After the change, the same code above will open Emacs with magit
enabled.
A slightly longer startup time of ~10ms was detected in local, informal
experiments.

These features are internal-only, have special characters that bash
doesn't support in variable names, and aren't normally given
environment variables by cargo as far as I can tell.
