[Nix-dev] Dealing with non-Bash /bin/sh on non-NixOS

Hello! A common problem for people trying to use Nix/Nixpkgs/Guix on non-NixOS distros, especially Debian derivatives, is that their /bin/sh is not Bash. On Debian and derivatives, it’s a symlink to /bin/dash. When building without a chroot, things eventually fail because stdenv, and sometimes

Hi Michael, Michael Raskin 7c6f4...@mail.ru skribis: I have some basic-chroot.nix, which is what basics I need to do Nix builds and look at simple problems comfortably. It is literally: let nixpkgs = import nixpkgs {}; in with nixpkgs; symlinkJoin chroot-system [ nixUnstable

Re: [Nix-dev] Dealing with non-Bash /bin/sh on non-NixOS

Hi, Michael Raskin 7c6f4...@mail.ru skribis: [...] I was thinking that, instead of just bind-mounting /bin, we could have at least a nix-daemon option that would allow the host code to specify which file /bin/sh should point to. Even better would be to have an additional ‘derivation’

Re: [Nix-dev] [PATCH] Add a smatch package.

Hello! Applied with a minor tweak: the ‘fetchgit’ invocation must be passed the expected SHA256, so we know what we expect (that makes it a fixed-output derivation, which can actually access the network, unlike regular derivations in chroot.) Thanks, Ludo’.

Re: [Nix-dev] Automake Question

Hi Noah! :-) Noah Lavine noah.b.lav...@gmail.com skribis: The issue is that when trying to build GNU Guile, automake needs the AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro. But even after installing automake and gettext through Nix, I still don't have that macro available. On NixOS, the ‘ACLOCAL_PATH’ environment

[Nix-dev] Preliminary support for Guile Guix in Hydra

Hello! The ‘guile-support’ branch in Hydra adds support for Guile, so that users can choose whether to write their build recipes in the Nix language or in Guile (with Guix). It basically “works for me” in an instance running on my laptop, but I’m interested in review and general feedback.

Re: [Nix-dev] [ANN] Guix, functional package management from Guile

Hi Marc, Marc Weber marco-owe...@gmx.de skribis: One of the core features of nix is that its lazy - I guess that's one of the main reason why Eelco didn't just use python/ruby/perl ... So what do you think about how performance would compare? While Scheme itself isn’t lazy, Guix itself is,

[Nix-dev] [***SPAM***] Re: Depending on Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool

Hi, Eelco Dolstra eelco.dols...@logicblox.com skribis: Maybe a better solution, given the track record of the Autotools with respect to backwards compatibility, is that packages should depend on a particular version of the Autotools (e.g. automake_1_11). Agreed. To encourage that we

Hey, Sander van der Burg - EWI s.vanderb...@tudelft.nl skribis: Awesome experiment Ludovic! Thanks. :-) Actually, I had some crazy ideas in the past as well. For example, to develop an internal DSL for Nix in Scala (no specific reason why it's useful, but oh well) Yeah, I believe

[Nix-dev] [***SPAM***] Depending on Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool

Hello! I just upgraded GNU Autoconf and Automake, which, as I saw Hydra go and rebuild all of KDE because libmng depends on those, inspired me this rant. Golden Rule: Never ever add a dependency on Autoconf, Automake, or Libtool, unless you’re confident that you cannot do otherwise at all.

[Nix-dev] [***SPAM***] [ANN] Guix, functional package management from Guile

Re: [Nix-dev] Anarchy

Hi Michael, Michael Weiss w...@borasi.de skribis: Let's talk about names. In fact names don’t matter with Nix. Each package is basically a function that returns an attribute set and derivation or store path. This result is a first-class object in the Nix language, so it can be assigned to any

Hi, Peter Simons sim...@cryp.to skribis: However, that is exactly the kind of decision to be taken in a vote of majority. If the majority of community members feels that we should not package non-free software (according to some definition), then that's how it's going to be. If I were you,
