If keywords are matched on the start/end of words then
keywords are also matched if they are surrounded by dashes
or underscores. For example the keyword with is highlighted
in geany-with-vte. When matching on the start/end of symbols
the keyword is only highlighted if it is not part of an other
identifier.
This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store
path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains
"illegal" characters.
This is in particular useful for fetchFromGitHub et al., ensuring that
the store path produced by nix-prefetch-url corresponds to what those
functions expect.
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and
its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example:
$ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz
or from a Nix expression:
$ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src
In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a
fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to
"recursive".
Some evidence that defining it to be 0 is right:
* OS X headers define it to be 0.
* Other code uses 0 instead of SOL_LOCAL to check for peer credentials
(e.g. FreeBSD's implementation of getpeereid).
Previously, pkg-config was already queried for libsqlite3's and
libcurl's link flags. However they were not used, but hardcoded
instead. This commit replaces the hardcoded LDFLAGS by the ones
provided by pkg-config in a similar pattern as already used for
libsodium.
For example,
$ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src
will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute
‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This
differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the
hash.
You can also specify a path to the Nix expression:
$ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src
List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work:
$ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0
This makes that option even more insecure, by also not checking the SSL host.
But without this parameter, one can still get SSL errors even when
"verify-https-binary-caches" is false, which is unexpected IMO.
It was strange to show "upgrading" when the version was getting lower.
This is left on "upgrading" when the versions are the same,
as I can't see any better wording.
Until now, if one explicitly installed a low-priority version,
nix-env --upgrade would downgrade it by default and even with --leq.
Let's never accept an upgrade with version not matching the upgradeType.
Additionally, let's never decrease the priority of an installed package;
you can use --install to force that.
Also refactor to use variable bestVersion instead of bestName,
as only version was used from it.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9504.
Note that this means we may have a non-functional /bin/sh in the
chroot while rebuilding Bash or one of its dependencies. Ideally those
packages don't rely on /bin/sh though.
