bindings to be used in Nix's own Perl scripts.
The only downside is that Perl XS and Automake/libtool don't really
like each other, so building is a bit tricky.
For each output, this adds a corresponding attribute to the derivation that is
the same as the derivation except for outPath, which is set to the path specific
to that output. Additionally, an "all" attribute is added that is a list of all
of the output derivations. This has to be done outside of derivationStrict as
each output is itself a derivation that contains itself (and all other outputs)
as an attribute. The derivation itself is equivalent to the first output in the
outputs list (or "out" if that list isn't set).
the contents of any of the given store paths have been modified.
E.g.
$ nix-store --verify-path $(nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system)
path `/nix/store/m2smyiwbxidlprfxfz4rjlvz2c3mg58y-etc' was modified! expected hash `fc87e271c5fdf179b47939b08ad13440493805584b35e3014109d04d8436e7b8', got `20f1a47281b3c0cbe299ce47ad5ca7340b20ab34246426915fce0ee9116483aa'
All paths are checked; the exit code is 1 if any path has been
modified, 0 otherwise.
This should also fix:
nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’
object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
prevents files from being evaluated and stored as values multiple
times. For instance, evaluation of the ‘system’ attribute in NixOS
causes ‘nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix’ to be evaluated 2019 times.
Caching gives a modest speedup and a decent memory footprint
reduction (e.g., from 1.44s to 1.28s, and from 81 MiB to 59 MiB with
GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 on my system).
directory
/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates
that you want to use as the directory for import such as
with (import <nixpkgs> { });
then you can say
$ nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates
brackets, e.g.
import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>
are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like
import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"
The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
e.g.,
$ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...
If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
lazily thrown.
