The current behaviour for generate-r-packages.R is to delete
packages that have been remove upstream. This patch changes the
behaviour to mark packages as broken rather than removing them.
This has the advantage of never breaking expressions, which
previously occured when a package with overrides in default.nix
was deleted. As a result, the update procedure is simplified,
allowing automated updates to the package tree to run, and
additionally if a package is re-established upstream the previous
overrides still exist.
- Reuse build phase from the `buildDunePackage` function.
- Only install the package that was just built (useful for monorepo support).
- Introduces `opam-name` to override the default package name to build with Dune.
Trying to reuse the update scripts used by kakoune/vim to provide the
user with an unified convergence. Some stuff doesn't work yet (parallel
download, caching) but I (anyone else welcome to try too) will improve
it in other PRs.
Simpler method of setting tags rather than using some combination of buildFlags, buildFlagsArray, preBuild, etc
Using `lib.concatStringsSep ","` as space separated tags are deprecated in go.
The current example in the manual no longer builds, mainly because
`useDune2 = true` is required, but also because the inputs have changed.
The new examples are copied verbatim from nixpkgs.
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.
Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist
While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.
Previously it was not possible to define multiple ldflags, since only
the last definition applies, and there's some quoting issues with
`buildFlagsArray`. With the new `ldflags` argument it's possible to do
this, e.g.
ldflags = drv.ldflags or [] ++ [
"-X main.Version=1.0"
]
can now properly append a flag without clearing all previous ldflags.
