This reverts commit f777d2b719be0db4cb7819d5b6dbdd121db29a37.
cc #34409
This breaks evaluation of the tested job:
attribute 'diskInterface' missing, at /nix/store/5k9kk52bv6zsvsyyvpxhm8xmwyn2yjvx-source/pkgs/build-support/vm/default.nix:316:24
Previously the Release.xz URL would show up with a new hash whenever
debian releases an update. By using archive.org we should have a stable
source for those. I wasn't able to find the equivalent in the debian
world. Maybe they don't keep all the different Release files around..
With the recent update of BusyBox to version 1.29.0 in
d6aa506e3baa3565eb375bbf8a4e68c3e3134ec9 there is now a new dependency
on libresolv.
This now throws a runtime error when executing ash, eg. whenever we do
something like this:
nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; vmTools.runInLinuxVM hello'
The resulting error will be:
.../ash: error while loading shared libraries: libresolv.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to override BusyBox with enableStatic, but that still requires
parts of glibc:
Static linking against glibc, can't use --gc-sections
Trying libraries: crypt m resolv
Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
Final link with: m resolv
In the long term maybe switching to a more minimal C library such as
musl would make more sense, but for now I just added libresolv.so to the
initrd which fixes the runtime error.

This is necessary due to a e2fsprogs update
(e6114781b0fad5345a2430fac3587d618273bda2) that causes mke2fs to
enable a feature (metadata_csum) that depends on crc32c.

This commit adds the CentOS 7.4 base image from the CentOS mirror, for use with
building RPMs or evaluating Nix expressions in a CentOS image.
When CentOS 7.5 comes out, I will swap this URL to the permanently vaulted image.
The motivation for this change is the following: As gnu-netcat,
e. g. does not support ipv6, it is not suitable as default netcat.
This commit also fixes all obvious build issues caused by this change.
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.
Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.
