This caused shebangs that were already store paths to be rewritten.
Introduced by ab4c35982269e8f1f15e07afa7fedf65c749f276 in #94642
Example difference:
$ echo "hello world" | tail -c+3
llo world
$ str="hello world"; echo ${str:3}
lo world
Using the full store hash as the random seed occasionally caused
reference cycles when the invocation was stored in output artifacts.
For example, cross-compiled gcc was failing due to this:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1631713#tabs-now-fail
Simply truncating the hash is sufficient to avoid this.
Use "find -exec" to strip rather than "find … | xargs …". The former
ensures that stripping is attempted for each file, whereas the latter
will stop stripping at the first failure. Unstripped files can fool
runtime dependency detection and bloat closure sizes.
For example graphviz has chained symlinked manpages: dot2gxl.1 is
a symlink to gv2gxl.1 which is a symlink to gxl2gv.1
The second loop replaces each non-compressed symlink to a compressed
symlink. The target is determined with 'readlink -f', which follows
links recursively until the first name that is not a link (so either
the 'target name' or the first 'dangling' symlink).
This means that if the loop converted dot2gxl.1 before converting
gv2gxl.1 it would add a symlink `dot2gxl.1.gz->gxl2gv.1.gz`. When
it converted gv2gxl.1 first, it would then add a
`dot2gxl.1.gz->gv2gxl.1.gz` symlink.
Both are 'correct', but it's weird the result depends on the order
in which 'find' returns the files. This PR makes the behaviour
deterministic.

This adds -frandom-seed to each compiler invocation in stdenv. The
object here is to make the compierl invocations produce the same output
every time they are called (for the same derivation). When the
-frandom-seed option is not set the compiler will use a combination of
random numbers (in GCC's case from /dev/urandom) and the durrent time to
produce a "random" input per file. This can (among other things) lead to
different ordering of symbols in the produced object files.
For reason of reproducibility we prefer having the same derivation
produce the exact same outputs. This is not a silver bullet but one way
to tame the compiler.
I made a mistake merge. Reverting it in c778945806b undid the state
on master, but now I realize it crippled the git merge mechanism.
As the merge contained a mix of commits from `master..staging-next`
and other commits from `staging-next..staging`, it got the
`staging-next` branch into a state that was difficult to recover.
I reconstructed the "desired" state of staging-next tree by:
- checking out the last commit of the problematic range: 4effe769e2b
- `git rebase -i --preserve-merges a8a018ddc0` - dropping the mistaken
merge commit and its revert from that range (while keeping
reapplication from 4effe769e2)
- merging the last unaffected staging-next commit (803ca85c209)
- fortunately no other commits have been pushed to staging-next yet
- applying a diff on staging-next to get it into that state
This reverts commit c778945806b44d46ec16bc4302e7e7163e6bab97.
I believe this is exactly what brings the staging branch into
the right shape after the last merge from master (through staging-next);
otherwise part of staging changes would be lost
(due to being already reachable from master but reverted).
I'm sorry; I didn't notice it contained staging commits.
This reverts commit 17f5305b6c20df795c365368d2d868266519599e, reversing
changes made to a8a018ddc0a8b5c3d4fa94c94b672c37356bc075.
Teach installShellCompletion how to install completions from a named
pipe. Also add a convenience flag `--cmd NAME` that synthesizes the name
for each completion instead of requiring repeated `--name` flags.
Usage looks something like
installShellCompletion --cmd foobar \
--bash <($out/bin/foobar --bash-completion) \
--fish <($out/bin/foobar --fish-completion) \
--zsh <($out/bin/foobar --zsh-completion)
Fixes#83284
This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
This is supposed to shareDocName to a fallback value if it can't be
determined from looking at the configure script. But the conditional
checked whether shareDocName was set, rather than if it wasn't. This
meant that if shareDocName had been detected from a configure script,
it would be immediately overridden by the package name, and if it
couldn't be detected, shareDocName would remain unset.
This resulted in QEMU installing files like $out/share/doc/index.html,
which should of course have been in $out/share/doc/qemu/index.html.
An interesting side effect of this is that, since
9f8751528cd89d343258dd718afa56f8590917bb when this code was added, the
detected package name has never actually been used for installing
documentation, because it would always be overridden. So this patch
will actually enable that for the first time, four years later.

This adds the `validatePkgConfig` hook, which can be used to validate
pkg-config files in the output(s). Currently, this will just run
`pkg-config --validate` on all `.pc` files, capturing errors such as
the issue that was fixed in #87789.
The hook could be extended in the future with more fine-grained
checks.
I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
