This line broke MacOS cross compilation. paxctl cannot be built on
macOS. Maybe it can be fixed, but no reason to break things
unnecessarily.
Regardless, you definitely need to be more careful about backporting.
I think it’s fine to move fast and break things on master but
with release-18.09 we should be more careful. Something like more
automated testing for cross compilation would also be
helpful (hopefully even making it block).

The isELF function only checks whether ELF is contained within the first
4 bytes of the file, which is a bit fuzzy and will also return
successful if it's a text file starting with ELF, for example:
ELF headers

Some text here about ELF headers...
So instead, we're now doing a precise match on \x7fELF.

Since gcc.lib/lib64 is a symlink to 'lib', the use of
"lib*/libgcc_s.so*" triggered a warning (error) with
the latest coreutils. Essentially we were doing:
$ cp a/x b/x y/
And latest coreutils rejects such invocations.
Just copy from 'lib', lib64 is a link to it anyway.
* Nothing else in this file bothers looking at lib*
* AFAICT lib* only ever possibly matched lib64 anyway
02c09e0171 (NixOS/nixpkgs#44558) was reverted in
c981787db9 but, as it turns out, it fixed an issue
I didn't know about at the time: the values of `propagateDoc` options were
(and now again are) inconsistent with the underlying things those wrappers wrap
(see NixOS/nixpkgs#46119), which was (and now is) likely to produce more instances
of NixOS/nixpkgs#43547, if not now, then eventually as stdenv changes.
This patch (which is a simplified version of the original reverted patch) is the
simplest solution to this whole thing: it forces wrappers to directly inspect the
outputs of the things they are wrapping instead of making stdenv guess the correct
values.
The `unfree` and `unfreeRedistributable` licenses both have `free = false`,
which will trigger the first portion of logic. This removes dead code to
simplify the logic.
As a follow-up, I plan to add an attribute `redistributable = [true|false]`,
which can be used by Hydra to determine whether a given package with a given
license can be included in the channel.
This accidentally added some unwanted dependencies on the bootstrap
tools, and I don't have time to fix before I go on vacation, so I'm
backing it out until I have time to address it properly.
This reverts commit dc5c68a7bb.
If meta.outputsToInstall is set to include absent outputs, various
tools break including channel updates and nix-env.
grahamc@Morbo> nix-env -i -f . -A elf-header-real
installing 'elf-header'
error: this derivation has bad 'meta.outputsToInstall'
This patch verifies each value in meta.outputsToInstall is a valid
output. It validates this condition only if checkMeta is true.
grahamc@Morbo> nix-build . -A elf-header-real
error: Package ‘elf-header’ in /home/grahamc/projects/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/elf-header/default.nix:36 has invalid meta.outputsToInstall, refusing to evaluate.
The package elf-header has set meta.outputsToInstall to: bin
however elf-header only has the outputs: out
and is missing the following ouputs:
- bin
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
Note, now the nix-env experience is decidedly worse for users who have
checkMeta set to true:
grahamc@Morbo> nix-env -i -f . -A elf-header-real; echo $?
0
though since this is already an issue for unfree, broken, unsupported,
and insecure validity problems I'm not sure we should do something
different here.
a4630c65ca was incorrect in assuming $SHELL would be a path to the
bash derivation. In fact $SHELL will be a path to the bash executable.
Unfortunately this did not fix the original issue. So instead, we just
have to reuse initialPath can be added like PATH is.
Sorry for the inconvenience! I hadn’t thought through the effects of
the last commit.

To avoid breaking things, we need to make sure SHELL goes into
HOST_PATH. This reflects my changes to patch-shebangs to make it cross
compilation ready. When a script is patched from the Nix store it now
looks to HOST_PATH to get the targeted machine’s executables.
Unfortunately, this only works in native builds.
LTO is disabled during bootstrap to keep the bootstrap tools small and
avoid unnecessary LLVM rebuilds, but is enabled in the final stdenv
stage and should be usable by normal packages.
This also updates the bootstrap tool builder to LLVM 5, but not the ones
we actually use for bootstrap. I'll make that change in a subsequent commit
so as to provide traceable provenance of the bootstrap tools.
Intuitively, one cares mainly about the host platform: Platforms differ
in meaningful ways but compilation is morally a pure process and
probably doesn't care, or those difference are already abstracted away.
@Dezgeg also empirically confirmed that > 95% of checks are indeed of
the host platform.
Yet these attributes in the old cross infrastructure were defined to be
the build platform, for expediency. And this was never before changed.
(For native builds build and host coincide, so it isn't clear what the
intention was.)
Fixing this doesn't affect native builds, since again they coincide. It
also doesn't affect cross builds of anything in Nixpkgs, as these are no
longer used. It could affect external cross builds, but I deem that
unlikely as anyone thinking about cross would use more explicit
attributes for clarity, all the more so because the rarity of inspecting
the build platform.
Works similarly to `enableParallelBuilding`, but is set by default when
`enableParallelBuilding` is set. In my experience most packages that build
fine in parallel also check fine in parallel.
Derivations where drawing their `system` attribute from `hostPlatform`
instead of `buildPlatform`. Fix that, and add an explanatory commment.
Fixes#45993
