| * update.nix: Run update scripts in parallelJan Tojnar2018-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make updating large attribute sets faster, the update scripts are now run in parallel. Please note the following changes in semantics: - The string passed to updateScript needs to be a path to an executable file. - The updateScript can also be a list: the tail elements will then be passed to the head as command line arguments.
* | doc: fix incorrect exampleMatthew Bauer2018-11-28
| | | | | | For whatever reason, nix-build ... --argstr a.b "c" doesn't work. It fails quitely so it's best to use an example here that works.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As requested[1] by @Ekleog. [1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/51040#issuecomment-441642763
* | | doc: tweak the coding conventions (#51113)zimbatm2018-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@nix.build>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Nix currently rejects derivations in `meta` values. This works around that limitation by using `passthru` instead. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/50230

| |\ | | | | | | [RFC] Use `meta.tests` to link from packages to the tests that test them
| | * dovecot, opensmtpd: add link to test in `meta.tests`Léo Gaspard2018-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
