[Nix-dev] Packaging software that mutates itself
I've talked a bit about this on IRC earlier today, but I think the issue deserves an in-depth discussion. It's more of a general policy question, a clash of an imperative world and a pure functional one. I'm trying to package a Java program, a client, which can be (among other things) updated by the server. At first, I put everything into the store, but then the client received an update command from the server and attempted to create a directory in the store (probably based on the program location), which failed. The program is proprietary, so I tried to find a way to change this behavior in the docs, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do it. And it wouldn't solve the issue anyway. The server is controlled by other people. Even if I find a way to solve this for this particular version, e.g., by putting some files into a mutable directory (more on this below), the new client version, which will be installed by the server, might contain other unexpected features, which might prevent the client from operating properly. Has anyone packaged something like this? What's a proper way to solve this without compromising the integrity of a system (think of potential security issues or just proper operation)? NixOS supports containers, but I haven't used them yet, can it be the answer? What would be an expected mutable location for something like this? There's, for instance, /var/lib as described in http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLIBVARIABLESTATEINFORMATION, but I can't even use it since that requires sudo, which is a no go for a build script. I need to copy the files into a mutable directory at build time (I'm using the builder.sh way as described in the Nixpkgs manual). ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

[Nix-dev] Dynamically changing authorized_keys to work with ssh-copy-id
TL;DR: I'd like to change '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' via ssh-copy-id. The file gets changed, but the changes have no effect on the running system. In 'configuration.nix', I already have 'openssh.authorizedKeys.keys', so I've also tried pointing 'openssh.authorizedKeys.keyFiles' to '~/.ssh/authorized_keys'. The problem is that 'nixos-rebuild switch' creates a new file in the store containing the keys from both 'keys' and 'keyFiles', which is what sshd uses, so changes made by ssh-copy-id are not taken into account. The solutions I've seen so far, which I haven't tried since I consider them unacceptable: restart sshd in cron to make it pick the new keys or modify the store. I've been told on IRC (by clever) that it's somehow possible with the fields I'm using, but (after re-reading 'man configuration.nix') I can't think of a way to make it work. So what are my options? Perhaps there's a different (Nix way) of handling this which I haven't considered. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

When I tried something similar today, rehash && vim --version didn't show
+cscope. But then I decided (finally!) to check the hash of my current vim and
the one that was built. They were different. Probably one of my previous
attempts did work, but I failed to notice. So now the question is why the
current vim package doesn't point to the right version.

[Nix-dev] Configuring vim with override
I'd like to enable cscope and clipboard support in vim by editing only the
configuration.nix file. If I understand the NixOS manual correctly, it should
look like this:
environment.systemPackages = [ (pkgs.emacs.override { gtk = pkgs.gtk3; }) ];
https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-customising-packages
So I've tried something similar:
environment.systemPackages.pkgs =
[ ...
(vimNox.override {
cscopeSupport = true;
clipboardSupport = true;
})
...
]
I use vimNox here since nox shows it as vim_configurable, which is defined like
this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/e2f7744f80e444c3e7b8680854de31fdc5c81543/pkgs/applications/editors/vim/configurable.nix#L148
This doesn't work, however. I've also tried using vim, vimHugeX,
vim_configurable with various solutions from GitHub:

I haven't thought about it much. I needed it for the project I was working on, but now it's not a priority for me. FWIW, stack works okay-ish on NixOS.

[Nix-dev] Haskell: Using Nix with cabal.config
I’d like to build an application using the versions specified in a cabal.config file (cabal-install is included in the shell.nix file). Is there an easy way to do it? After talking to people on #nixos, I got the impression that having your own Nixpkgs branch is the only way if you want to share your environment with NixOS and plain Nix users. Parsing a cabal.config file and running cabal2nix on every package is not difficult. But where do I need to put the new recipes? For packages with the default.nix file, you just compare the versions and replace the existing recipe if they don’t match. For packages having multiple versions, you also need to change pkgs/top-level/haskell-packages.nix. The latter makes me a bit uncomfortable because it’s easy to make a mistake. I’d rather put all the new recipes in a different place, say, in the directory of my application, and somehow instruct Nix to use them first. Can it be done?

Re: [Nix-dev] environment.allowedLicenses ?
I actually think we should *remove* meta.license entirely (because it doesn't provide useful info to users and tends to be wrong or incomplete anyway), and replace it with attributes that have operational meaning: People who do care about the exact license of a package should use a tool like Ninka do extract the actual license, rather than depend on meta.license (since, as I said, it tends to be incomplete or wrong). How do the attributes solve this issue? One can specify an incorrect attribute, no? I don’t see a problem. If a Nix package specifies a wrong license, fix it. If you use a tool like cabal2nix and the problem is upstream, then send a patch upstream.

[Nix-dev] Making a custom installation tarball
I’d like to make an installation tarball with a custom set of packages. I’ve been pointed to [1], which is a Hydra job. Is it possible without Hydra? Could anyone explain in detail what I need to do? (It’d be great to create a wiki page for this.)

Re: [Nix-dev] Package archeology in nixpkgs
- NHC: can build it with HBC According to [1], it can be bootstrapped via C. If I remember correctly, I successfully built it this way in the past (outside of NixOS). How do people feel about this? I think it’s a great idea. I always wanted to try HBI, which “supports the full language at the command line.” [2] But I have no idea where to get the source.

Re: [Nix-dev] Using several versions of GHC at once
I have committed a patch recently that fix building of cabal-install with older GHC versions. Maybe that changes makes a difference. If you have the chance, please try installing that package again with a recent version of Nixpkgs. It works, but I've tried too many things at the same time. So it's hard to tell what solved the problem. Anyway, thank you so much. I have another question. How does 'nix-env -i' determine which version of a package it should install? For example, there are two versions of the binary package in 'pkgs/development/libraries/haskell/binary': 0.6.0.0 and 0.7.1.0. However, nix-env -f /home/nixpkgs-github/default.nix \ -p ~/ghc-6.10.4 -iA pkgs.haskellPackages_ghc6104.binary installs 0.6.0.0, not the latest. Is it connected with compatibility issues? If so, how does this selection process work? Can I safely assume that the following versions are the latest that should work with GHC 6.10.4? - binary-0.6.0.0 - HUnit-1.2.0.3 - network-2.2.1.4 - stm-2.1.1.2 - mtl-1.1.0.2 - time-1.1.2.4 pgpGfB2dEN0SM.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] Using several versions of GHC at once
Priorities can be assigned in the sources. Could you show an example? It seems these files [1,2] don't have any.

Re: [Nix-dev] Using several versions of GHC at once
The way to go is to create a separate profile for every version of GHC that you want to use like so: $ nix-env -p ~/ghc-6.10.4 -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages_ghc6104.ghc $ nix-env -p ~/ghc-7.6.3 -iA nixpkgs.haskellPackages_ghc762.ghc Now, you can add both of those profiles into your command search path: export PATH=$HOME/ghc-7.6.3/bin:$HOME/ghc-6.10.4/bin:$PATH Unversioned commands like ghc will refer to GHC 7.6.3. If you want to run an older version of GHC, then you'll have to invoke it explicitly as ghc-6.10.4. Thanks, it worked. Can I add the above to Nix Wiki? By the way, maybe it's the right time to choose a license [1].

Re: [Nix-dev] mips64el: syntax error in 'replace-dependency.nix'
Are you doing chroot builds?
No, '/etc/nix/nix.conf' is empty.
Also, the following errors appeared after that error.
[root@nixos:/]# ls
sh: /run/current-system/sw/bin/ls: No such file or directory
[root@nixos:/]# cd
[root@nixos:~]# whoami
sh: /run/current-system/sw/bin/whoami: No such file or directory
('cd' works.)
I doubt that a different '/bin/sh' will help. This tarball worked in
the past.

[Nix-dev] mips64el: syntax error in 'replace-dependency.nix'
Hi,
I'm trying to install NixOS in a chroot. I'm using a tarball
(nixos-system-mips64el-linux.tar.xz) that I fetched several month ago.
So, the problem is the following error message.
# nix-env -i hello
error: syntax error, unexpected $undefined, expecting '}', at
`/nix/store/pax21mr1bmd7m7zlghb77hrsj3ay9jii-nixos-0.1pre4033_e844fed-96a834d/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/build-support/replace-dependency.nix:20:11'
(use `--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
Here is a line that raises the error:
{ drv, old-dependency, new-dependency }:
When I was using this tarball in the past, it worked fine. Is there a
new tarball?

[Nix-dev] [***SPAM***] HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE=1 allows to install the Linux kernel from kernel.org
Hi, I've been told some time ago that it's possible to use NixOS without non-free packages if I run 'export HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE=1'. Unfortunately, it allows to use a non-free version of the Linux kernel. Yes, I can change the corresponding recipe. But can this be done automatically? Also, are there any other non-free packages that can sneak in? Nikita P.S. The best solution would be to remove all non-free packages from the repos, but I understand that you won't agree. pgp0yNaunaup2.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] mips64el: syntax error in 'replace-dependency.nix'
The problem is not with the tarball per se, it's with nixpkgs. To fix the issue, you can either update your nix version to at least nix 1.2, or wait until https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/ 5626c5cdfb6de664881eb8b79dd54a8f4ca19b8f hits the nixpkgs channel so it will still work with older versions of nix. How should I update Nix? Will it work if I install it from sources? Is it necessary to use any special options with './configure'? Anyway, I'd like to know where I can download the tarball. I haven't found it here [1].

[Nix-dev] [***SPAM***] Re: HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE=1 allows to install the Linux kernel from kernel.org
HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE was designed for our buildfarm, where unfree means not legally distributable. Since the kernel is legal to distribute despite the binary firmware blobs (I assume that's your objection?), HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE will block it. Linux, the kernel developed and distributed by Linus Torvalds et al, contains non-Free Software, i.e., software that does not respect your essential freedoms, and it induces you to install additional non-Free Software that it doesn't contain. [1] In general, there's no automatic way to detect what is free and what is not, especially considering people's different definitions. HYDRA_DISALLOW_UNFREE depends on packagers specifying the license when they add an unfree package. If someone were to take the time to add meta attributes to each package that is free by their standards (or to every one that is not), it would be pretty easy to then provide a way for them to ensure their system only has those packages, but that initial work is not trivial. You're right. I forgot to define the word free. Here is a definition [2] that I had in mind. Yes, it's not trivial, but still possible. There is a list of free distros [3].

Re: [Nix-dev] mips64el: syntax error in 'replace-dependency.nix'
I believe that if you do 'nix-env -iA nix' (note the 'A'), you'll be able to install the newer nix without hitting the issue in replace-dependency. # nix-env -iA nix error: attribute `nix' in selection path `nix' not found I've found a workaround here [1], but it didn't help. Do you have any other ideas? I have some Nix-related binaries in '/usr/local/bin' in a different chroot. Can I somehow reuse those?

Re: [Nix-dev] mips64el: syntax error in 'replace-dependency.nix'
Ah, right, you'll need something like nix-env -iA nixos.nixpkgs.nix. If that path doesn't work (that's for the nixos channel, you may need something different), look for a directory named nixpkgs in ~/.nix-defexpr (or its subdirectories), and do nix-env -iA nix -f ~/.nix-defexpr/path/to/nixpkgs Thanks, the latter did the job.
