When specifying the `builder` attribute in `stdenv.mkDerivation`, this
will be effectively transformed into
builtins.derivation {
builder = stdenv.shell;
args = [ "-e" builder ];
}
This also means that `default-builder.sh` is never sourced and as a
result it's not guaranteed that `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` is set to a correct
location[1].
Also, we need to source `.attrs.sh` to source `$stdenv`. So, the
following is done now:
* If `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` points to a correct location, then use it.
Directly using `.attrs.sh` is problematic for `nix-shell(1)` usage
(see previous commit for more context), so prefer the environment
variable if possible.
* Otherwise, if `.attrs.sh` exists, then use it. See [1] for when this
can happen.
* If neither applies, it can be assumed that `__structuredAttrs` is
turned off and thus nothing needs to be done.
[1] It's possible that it doesn't exist at all - in case of Nix 2.3 or
it can point to a wrong location on older Nix versions with a bug in
`__structuredAttrs`.
Currently `buildPerlPackage` prefixes the Perl version to the package's
`pname`, which results in `nix run` not being able to work for any
packages build with it out of the box. This commit corrects that and
phases out the ability to set `name` directly, as well as refactors the
code to not require `cleanedAttrs`.
Because perl packages are prefixed with the perl version, it means that
the `lib.getExe` heuristic will never point to the binary name. So we
provide the meta.mainProgram that overrides that, using the original
pname or parsed name. It's not perfect but should yield better results
already.
This reverts commit d0bad145f5e78f2be6d745da305067398722df17.
We don't need this any more, because the generated timestamps are
always set to 1970-01-01.
Reverting this will mean we get man pages for perl programs for free,
because those are generally part of the `install' target.
This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
This continues #23374, which always kept around both attributes, by
always including both propagated files: `propgated-native-build-inputs`
and `propagated-build-inputs`. `nativePkgs` and `crossPkgs` are still
defined as before, however, so this change should only barely
observable.
This is an incremental step to fully keeping the dependencies separate
in all cases.
... after auto-removing some kinds of files by default.
In some cases I let them be removed and in others I let them be put into
$docdev. That was more due to general indecisiveness on this question
than any reasons in the particular cases.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
packages. Turns out that those packages set INSTALLDIRS=perl, so we
override it to INSTALLDIRS=site.

WTF is that the Perl module installation path suddenly has changed

* Added a generic builder for Perl modules. I'm lazy so the modules
are defined directly in all-packages-generic.nix. The generic
builder also patches Perl scripts to include a hard-coded Perl
module search path (i.e., similar to an RPATH in ELF executables).
