doc: tweak the coding conventions (#51113)
Encouraging to put container elements on their own lines to minimize
diffs, merge conflicts and making re-ordering easier.

Nix doesn't suffer the restrictions of other languages where commas are
used to separate list items.

doc/stdenv: Document autoPatchelfHook changes
First of all, this makes the existing documentation a bit more clear on
what autoPatchelfHook is all about, because after discussing with
@svanderburg - who wrote a similar implementation - the rationale about
autoPatchelfHook wasn't very clear in the documentation.

I also added the recent changes around being able to use autoPatchelf
manually and the new --no-recurse flag.

b1bdce0793 python34: remove
Python 3.4 will receive it's final patch release in March 2019 and there won't
be any releases anymore after that, so also not during NixOS 2019.03.

Python 3.4 is not used anymore in Nixpkgs. In any case, migrating code from
3.4 to 3.4+ is trivial.

dovecot, opensmtpd: add link to test in meta.tests
Rationale
---------

Currently, tests are hard to discover. For instance, someone updating
`dovecot` might not notice that the interaction of `dovecot` with
`opensmtpd` is handled in the `opensmtpd.nix` test.

And even for someone updating `opensmtpd`, it requires manual work to go
check in `nixos/tests` whether there is actually a test, especially
given not so many packages in `nixpkgs` have tests and this is thus most
of the time useless.

Finally, for the reviewer, it is much easier to check that the “Tested
via one or more NixOS test(s)” has been checked if the file modified
already includes the list of relevant tests.

Implementation
--------------

Currently, this commit only adds the metadata in the package. Each
element of the `meta.tests` attribute is a derivation that, when it
builds successfully, means the test has passed (ie. following the same
convention as NixOS tests).

Future Work
-----------

In the future, the tools could be made aware of this `meta.tests`
attribute, and for instance a `--with-tests` could be added to
`nix-build` so that it also builds all the tests. Or a `--without-tests`
to build without all the tests. @Profpatsch described in his NixCon talk
such systems.

Another thing that would help in the future would be the possibility to
reasonably easily have cross-derivation nix tests without the whole
NixOS VM stack. @7c6f434c already proposed such a system.

This RFC currently handles none of these concerns. Only the addition of
`meta.tests` as metadata to be used by maintainers to remember to run
relevant tests.

The `name` arg of `vim_configurable.customize` does not only determine

This touches up a handful of places in the python documentation to try to make

them to the docs.

Also updated the metas to be more consistent with the most frequently used

d1e46df24b fixup: drop comment about config behaving differently from buildImage 2018-09-27 08:14:04 -04:00
Graham Christensen
4fe9006190 dockerTools.buildLayeredImage: init
Create a many-layered Docker Image.

Implements much less than buildImage:

 - Doesn't support specific uids/gids
 - Doesn't support runninng commands after building
 - Doesn't require qemu
 - Doesn't create mutable copies of the files in the path
 - Doesn't support parent images

If you want those feature, I recommend using buildLayeredImage as an
input to buildImage.

Notably, it does support:

 - Caching low level, common paths based on a graph traversial
   algorithm, see referencesByPopularity in
   0a80233487993256e811f566b1c80a40394c03d6
 - Configurable number of layers. If you're not using AUFS or not
   extending the image, you can specify a larger number of layers at
   build time:

       pkgs.dockerTools.buildLayeredImage {
         name = "hello";
         maxLayers = 128;
         config.Cmd = [ "${pkgs.gitFull}/bin/git" ];
       };

 - Parallelized creation of the layers, improving build speed.
 - The contents of the image includes the closure of the configuration,
   so you don't have to specify paths in contents and config.

   With buildImage, paths referred to by the config were not included
   automatically in the image. Thus, if you wanted to call Git, you
   had to specify it twice:

       pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage {
         name = "hello";
         contents = [ pkgs.gitFull ];
         config.Cmd = [ "${pkgs.gitFull}/bin/git" ];
       };

   buildLayeredImage on the other hand includes the runtime closure of
   the config when calculating the contents of the image:

       pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage {
         name = "hello";
         config.Cmd = [ "${pkgs.gitFull}/bin/git" ];
       };

Minor Problems

 - If any of the store paths change, every layer will be rebuilt in
   the nix-build. However, beacuse the layers are bit-for-bit
   reproducable, when these images are loaded in to Docker they will
   match existing layers and not be imported or uploaded twice.

Common Questions

 - Aren't Docker layers ordered?

   No. People who have used a Dockerfile before assume Docker's
   Layers are inherently ordered. However, this is not true -- Docker
   layers are content-addressable and are not explicitly layered until
   they are composed in to an Image.

 - What happens if I have more than maxLayers of store paths?

   The first (maxLayers-2) most "popular" paths will have their own
   individual layers, then layer #(maxLayers-1) will contain all the
   remaining "unpopular" paths, and finally layer #(maxLayers) will
   contain the Image configuration.

Merge pull request #47238 from obsidiansystems/overrideScope-order
lib: Deprecate `overrideScope` in lieu of `overrideScope'` taking arguments in the conventional order
2018-09-24 18:04:18 -04:00
John Ericson
b9dce11712 lib: Make overrideScope' which takes arguments in the conventional order
The `overrideScope` bound by `makeScope` (via special `callPackage`)
took an override in the form `super: self { … }`. But this is
dangerously close to the `self: super { … }` form used by *everything*
else, even other definitions of `overrideScope`! Since that
implementation did not even share any code either until I changed it
recently in 3cf43547f4, this inconsistency
is almost certainly an oversight and not intentional.

Unfortunately, just as the inconstency is hard to debug if one just
assumes the conventional order, any sudden fix would break existing
overrides in the same hard-to-debug way. So instead of changing the
definition a new `overrideScope'` with the conventional order is added,
and old `overrideScope` deprecated with a warning saying to use
`overrideScope'` instead. That will hopefully get people to stop using
`overrideScope`, freeing our hand to change or remove it in the future.

e39a73cc55 doc: Don't mention top-level {build, host, target}Platform
For technical reasons, we cannot easily add a warning to top-level
definitions, so 2a6e4ae49a and
e51f736076 reverted the deprecation. But
we can still remove mention of the would-be deprecated definitions to
steer people towards using the preferred alternatives.

a32d7e0c74 dockerTools.buildImage: support impure dates
Because dates are an impurity, by default buildImage will use a static
date of one second past the UNIX Epoch. This can be a bit frustrating
when listing docker images in the CLI:

    $ docker image list
    REPOSITORY   TAG      IMAGE ID       CREATED        SIZE
    hello        latest   08c791c7846e   48 years ago   25.2MB

If you want to trade the purity for a better user experience, you can
set created to now.

    pkgs.dockerTools.buildImage {
      name = "hello";
      tag = "latest";
      created = "now";
      contents = pkgs.hello;

      config.Cmd = [ "/bin/hello" ];
    }

and now the Docker CLI will display a reasonable date and sort the
images as expected:

    $ docker image list
    REPOSITORY   TAG      IMAGE ID       CREATED              SIZE
    hello        latest   de2bf4786de6   About a minute ago   25.2MB

ibus-engines.typing-booster: init at 2.1.1
This package providesa completion input method for faster typing.
See https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster

Detailed instructions how to activate this IBus engine on your desktop
can be found in the upstream docs: https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html

A simple VM with the Gnome3 desktop and activated `ibus' looks like
this:

```nix
{
  emojipicker = { pkgs, ... }: {
    services.xserver = {
      enable = true;
      desktopManager.gnome3.enable = true;
      desktopManager.xterm.enable = false;
    };
    users.extraUsers.vm = {
      password = "vm";
      isNormalUser = true;
    };
    i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines = [
      pkgs.ibus-engines.typing-booster
    ];
    i18n.inputMethod.enabled = "ibus";
    virtualisation.memorySize = 2048;
  };
}
```

953199fd82 vim-plugins: rewrite updater
A new python script has been added to replace the aged viml-based
updater. The new updater has the following advantages:

- use rss feeds to check for updates quicker
- parallel downloads & better caching
- uses proper override mechanism instead of text substitution
- update generated files in-place instead of having to insert updated plugins manually

Automatically reading `dependencies` from the plugins directory has been
not re-implemented.
This has been mostly been used by Mark Weber's plugins, which seem to
no longer receive regular updates.
This could be implemented in future as required.

weechat: 2.1 -> 2.2; improve package configuration
This aims to make the `weechat` package even more configurable. It
allows to specify scripts and commands using the `configure` function
inside a `weechat.override` expression.

The package can be configured like this:

```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
weechat.override {
  plugins = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
    plugins = builtins.attrValues availablePlugins;

    init = ''
      /set foo bar
      /server add freenode chat.freenode.org
    '';

    scripts = [ "/path/to/script.py" ];
  };
}
```

All commands are passed to `weechat --run-command "/set foo bar;/server ..."`.

The `plugins' attribute is not necessarily required anymore, if it's
sufficient to add `init' commands, the `plugins' will be
`builtins.attrValues availablePlugins' by default.

Additionally the result contains `weechat` and `weechat-headless`
(introduced in WeeChat 2.1) now.

I don't know when we can/should remove them, but this at least gets
people to stop using them. The preferred alternatives also date back to
17.09 so writing forward-compatable code without extra conditions is
easy.

Beginning with these as they are the least controversial.

eb0207f132 citrix_receiver: document installation pitfalls and extraCerts (#44635)
Since #44522 it's possible to specify custom certificates for the Citrix
receiver. As it took me some time to create a proper setup Citrix can
behave fairly unexpected.

I mostly covered two aspects:

* Don't install Citrix with `nix run`: when `citrix.desktop` is linked
  to $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, it's possible to start a session directly from the
  browser when loading `.ica` files which makes the usage *way* easier.

* It's possible to add custom certificates using the Citrix wrapper. A
  new store path with the original derivation and the certificates will be
  created and therefore no rebuild of the package is needed when adding
  new certs.
